While not my pick for the best Mario Kart (Double Dash holds that honor), but to say it isn’t an excellent Mario Kart is silly. It’s spanned two consoles, and added so much content. It is probably the pinnacle of Mario Karting, all it’s missing is two people per Kart like in Double Dash. This is also the Mario Kart that taught me that I’m not as good as I thought I was. And then the TDG crew taught me I was even worse than that.
It's not the Best game I've ever played but it is the Best Mario Kart I've ever played. The Selection of tracks (including the DLC) is incredible. The random unlocks for the coin system though is not my favorite, I don't want to have a "Chance" at unlocking something I want. I feel a coin shop or level up system where you know what you're getting next would be better.
This really is a great game for the entire family. A bit of a grind if you want to be competitive but that's the great part, you don't have to be to enjoy the game.
This game has become gta5. Give us a new Mario kart already. It’s fun but for the last 6-7 years? Maybe more? How many more times can you keep playing the same tracks. I’ve had a lot of fun with it but i feel it’s gone past it’s time. Will still pull it out at a house event though
“The reason I say four stars is because not many people play it. Not many kids or parents race together, otherwise it would be a 5 star. I like racing with my dad and friends in a lobby, don’t like racing the computers”
Rating because every time I do a time trial C3 asks me to rate the game. Yes, I love the game. Yes, it's' my favorite game. And yes, I'd marry Daisy if I could.
The most jam-packed Mario Kart game to date, and the DLC just makes it even more fun! This game has a lot of replay-ability with the number of courses, characters, and kart combinations there are in this game, and, while it is overshadowed by the racing modes, the battle mode is a lot of fun too! By far the most polished game in the series too!
I'm giving this one a 5, but really only because I'm getting into it again through @jedijohann and the Cr3w. The people you play with really make a difference in how much you enjoy a game.
I don't know that it was worth $60 on switch if you already played everything on Wii, but it was a blast then, and if you have a good group, it's still fun now.
I don't feel like I need to make a big explanation for why this game is so good. Best in the series and thank you Nintendo for the DLC's and not making us buy another game for new courses.
This was a 5 star game *before* I discovered The Dad Gaming's Mario Kart group a couple years ago.. now it's one of my favourite and most played games in all my 30+ years of gaming. Thank you to everyone who races, battles, and memes with me. You know who you are!
One of my favorite games to play with friends, very excited for the new DLC. Controls for the game are flawless with very fair combinations that do not rule over each other.
YEAH VROOOOMMM GET REKT MARIO IM A LUIGI MAIN AND IM DECENT AT THE GAME AND ITS SO FUNNY WHEN MY FRIENDS GET MAD CAUSE I OFTEN PULL OF WACKY STUNTS AT THE END WHERE I JUST BARELY BEAT THEM AND ITS EPIC. music also slaps, thank you for your time
I've owned or played most Mariokart games, but this is by far the best. The gameplay is great and it helped me to connect to people all over the world. Also this game has got my competitive juices flowing again, where I used to get it from sports(ACL tear and old age will do that).
I had not played Mario Kart since Double Dash, but this was the first game I played on my switch! And man does it deliver! With the addition of new courses, this game keeps showing why it’s one of the most popular games on the market!!
When I had a switch this was one of my favorite games. There are so many different customizations you can do to your liking and there is something for all skill levels. The courses, decorations, music, and abilities are so good. This game is fun with friends and family this is one of my favorite games at the arcade. WAHOO!
Let me start off by saying: this game, like many others would say, is nothing short of amazing. It's stages, characters, music, they all are steps up from most previous games. Well, for the most part. I would like to warn you that while this may be a negative review, it does not mean I dislike the game. I just think there are a lot of low points that should be discussed, and I am slightly afraid for the future of Mario Kart. 1. The character roster is abysmal. Filled with characters that just take up space like Metal Mario and the Koopalings. They also have gone out of their way to make entirely new characters just to make them nearly complete clones of others, like Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach! They added some more fan favorites in the jump from the Wii U to the Switch, but the problems are still there, and glaring. 2. The dlc additions are good, but they scare me. I really enjoyed the non-Mario related characters we got with the dlc, however not all of it is great. Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario were unnecessary and tacked on likely to promote Super Mario 3D World. The other characters were fun and certainly a good idea, but it is not very innovative, and takes away from the special feeling Mario Kart has. Now it has become more of a crossover game, with more than just karts and mii costumes, full characters and stages are here. Maybe they are going for a more connected world between the series', but Mario Kart may never truly be "Mario" Kart again. 3. The new dlc. I like the approach they are going with this, but the fact that all they are doing is practically importing tracks from Mario Kart Tour and slightly touching up on them makes me think that this was not made for anything aside from just taking more of our money. Eventually, half of the DLC tracks will be from Mario Kart Tour, and I don't see that being a good thing. Anyways, that was my review. I know it was lengthy but I appreciate you reading it. Yes, I love this game, that's why I gave it 5 stars, but the above reasons are why it is not quite as good as people say, and why I am worried for Mario Kart's future.
It’s really incredible to see how far MK has come since SNES. I loved the concept back then and love it even more today. All of the characters, unlockables, tracks, items - Nintendo has been ever consistent with this game and knows what its players have come to expect. Accessible to all, mastered by few, and always fun.
Mario Kart has had a special place in my heart going all the way back to SNES. I used to make my little sister suffer the knowledge I gained from my Nintendo Power Magazine subscription by using every trick and angle in the book! Now I get to continue that wrath with my children?!? Yes please!
Mario Kart 8 has everything that a father who’s lived through the past 30 years of Mario Kart installments could want. Mario Kart 8 will continue to be the battle ground upon which we resolve conflict in the household as I continue my turtle shell dominance.
The best in the series so far. Takes all of the best things from the other games (except for double driver action from the Gamecube Kart, Double Dash) and puts them into a well executed package with an ever expanding track list. The number one reason to own a Switch!
This is the first Mario Kart I've played since MK64. Originally got it during the pandemic for the kids, was immediately sucked back in to the hype of MK64 days. Such a wonderful game, fun for all ages, and with the addition of the 48 tracks, I don't know how future Mario Karts will top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
A great game to bring the family together for some friendly competition. With tracks, karts, and additional items that can be unlocked as you move along, this game has lots of replay ability and is a great couch co-op!
Next gen Mario Kart....kinda may have been on the Wii U and now on the Switch, but it's still super good. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a party game to play with family and friends.
Have always loved Mario Kart, since the SNES days. I just recently picked this up and I'm newly addicted. I play it with my son a lot, we have a great time.
Let me talk FOR REAL about Mario Kart 8. There have been 7 other Mario Karts, and I have played all but 2 of them, so I think I can consider myself pretty much an expert here. I will tell you the good, and the bad. First off, this game is bangin'. Lots of characters to choose from, lots of customization options, and lots of tracks. They even let you give them more money for more tracks that they haven't even released yet, and I did it because GIVE ME MORE. This is a great game for kids too, even if they don't have the best kart racing skills yet, because the items you get improve as your placing diminishes. Like in 12th place, instead of bopping around with a bunch of coins and mushrooms, you get THE SERIOUS GEAR like being able to turn yourself into a Bullet Bill and make up some distance with a quickness. Now for THE BAD: As you can tell by the neon rainbow that threw up all over the cover of this game, it's very visually active, so playing single-player on a 75" screen is a very different, and much easier experience than racing the same maps on split-screen, or on a smaller device. The solution, obviously, is to invest in massive screens and multiple Nintendo Switches, but I got kids to feed.
I love this game so much. I'm a Gamecube Mario Kart girl but this is close enough to it that I'm able to decimate my children and finally gain their respect.
Not only a great racing game but introduced me to a great gaming community. The game itself never gets old and with new tracks coming we'll be playing for years to come. OK!
First off what’s not to love! This game is E for Everyone is a Winner! I’ve had fun playing with family or throwing beers back with the boys. If you have a switch it is a must buy! See ya on the track…
