Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive version of Nintendo’s beloved racing franchise. Packed with content, stunning visuals, and timeless gameplay, it’s the perfect racing game for both casual players and competitive racers.Gameplay:The core gameplay is everything you’d expect from Mario Kart—fast, chaotic, and endlessly fun. Whether you’re racing through iconic tracks, hurling red shells, or dodging banana peels, every race feels exciting. The controls are tight and responsive, making it easy to pick up but challenging to master, especially in higher-speed classes like 200cc.Content:This version includes all the tracks, characters, and DLC from the original Wii U release, plus a few extras. With 48 tracks, over 40 characters, and a massive selection of karts, wheels, and gliders, the variety ensures no two races feel the same. The addition of characters like Bowser Jr., Inkling Girl/Boy, and Dry Bones adds more personality to an already diverse roster.Battle Mode:One of the best improvements in the Deluxe version is the revamped Battle Mode. It now includes proper arenas instead of modified tracks, offering classic modes like Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, as well as new additions like Renegade Roundup. This makes multiplayer sessions even more enjoyable and competitive.Visuals and Sound:The game runs at a smooth 60 frames per second, even in split-screen multiplayer, with vibrant, colorful graphics that make each track pop. From the neon glow of Electrodrome to the whimsical charm of Ribbon Road, every track is a visual treat. The music is equally fantastic, with dynamic tracks that adapt to the action on screen.Multiplayer:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe truly shines in multiplayer. Whether playing locally with up to four players or online with up to 12, it’s a blast. The online system is stable and easy to navigate, and the inclusion of Smart Steering makes it accessible for younger or less experienced players without diminishing the challenge for seasoned racers.Final Thoughts:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the pinnacle of the series, offering endless fun, stunning visuals, and enough content to keep players engaged for years. It’s the perfect party game, the ultimate test of friendships, and a must-have for any Nintendo Switch owner.Highly recommended for anyone who loves racing games, Mario Kart, or just good old-fashioned fun.

We’ve spent hours playing together as a family! Colorful and creative race track circuits. Customization of characters and cars.

Let me start by saying I ordered this game but the Amazon delivery person ignored my notes about the package pirates in my building, and my asking to kindly make their way upstairs and hide it under my mat so therefore mine got stolen. I never got it, but still I wanted to share my review of the game itself.Nonetheless I ordered a new copy from another retailer and I wasn't disappointed with the game overall. I think anyone with a gaming family especially with younger members would appreciate having a fun game they can enjoy too! - no blood, gore, violence, jump scares, cursing and all the stuff not good for the little ones. As much as you may look at the game and think this is childish or too silly, I promise even as adult you will love this game. I got hooked and didn't think I would like it that much, I just wanted a racing game to keep me busy until I find more games for my switch. Now I play this with my family and I am the one screaming and asking "How!?"....How did I go from 1st place to 5th so fast? lol Its a cute fast pace game, that will have everyone competing. I highly suggest this game. Sometimes I play on my own, online with family or I challenge others in my household who also have the game. I think it will be really hard to get board with this game with so many options for cars, tires, gliders, and race tracks to choose from. If you purchase this game I hope you enjoy whether playing with family or solo.

This game has brought many a living room competition. We love it.

Got this for my son’s 12th Birthday he loves it for his Nintendo switch. Great quality overall.

Picked up a Switch on a whim and had to get this game. Its great! Love playing the various circuits alone, locally and over the internet. This game is a must have for the Switch.

fun game

good
