At first, I thought I got ripped off, but I didn't. I played for 3 minutes and loved it. I used to play mario kart wii until I found this game

I was unsure what to expect from this as it is a game I already owned for Wii U. All the download content from the previous release is already included. I feel like now I can fully enjoy the game. I play it online at home and when I'm out with Friends.

We've all been there before. Having survived an onslaught of Red and Blue Shells, you've managed to hold onto your first-place position for the last two laps and you're finally on the end straight. But no, what's this?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first ever port of a Mario Kart game (excluding Virtual Console), porting over Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U. This game isn't just a basic port, however; it includes some major changes to its battle mode, while also adding some other small changes and additions.

Extremely fun; excellent battle mode; tons of characters and tracks to choose from

Online mode is wonky (at the moment

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe takes the best and makes it better. The original's awesome collection of courses, characters, and customization are only enhanced by Smart Steering and the welcomed return of Battle Mode.

Battle Mode; Smart Steering

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a victory lap for an amazing entry in the series. The only place Mario Kart 8 faltered was in its Battle Mode and Nintendo has rectified that here with a full-fledged version.

My 32 year old son wanted this game with a Nintendo Switch after playing it on his cousins. So I picked them up for him for the holidays. This was the first game he wanted for it, it's a favorite!

We bought the whole switch system JUST for this game. Our family always enjoyed playing Mario Cart on the Wii, but once ll TVs went HD, the blurry screens from the non-HD game system gave us headaches, so when the new switch system came out, we were super excited.

So fun watching my granddaughter being introduced to this game. She is still working to understand the buttons but learning quickly.

Just as with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , Nintendo has somehow managed to create another game that goes above and beyond all expectation. Not only is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe good, it's unbelievably good for something that essentially amounts to a refreshed release of a three-year-old title.

42 racers; 48 courses and so much new content; Battle Mode is back and better than ever; Plenty of content to keep Mario Kart 8 completionist's occupied

Price seems somewhat steep for those who already own Mario Kart 8; Full online functionality isn't ready quite yet
