Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: Switch racer is the pinnacle of Nintendo's series
Pros:
- Brilliant Battle Modes
- tons of material to play though

If there is any criticism to be levied at Deluxe , it is that most of the game's content is unlocked right out of the box. While this is likely a plus for players returning from the Wii U version, it will inevitably hamper the replayability of the game for its many, many new adopters.

In short, Nintendo has created one of the best ports ever made. Mario Kart 8 fans have enough here to justify buying the core game once again and as for you newbies… well, you're in for one hell of a ride.

If You're Not First, You're Last
I used to be garbage at Mario Kart. I hated that even when I got overpowered upgrades in 11th place I still would only pull up to 6th. But once you set your mind to understanding all of the mechanics that are presented, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe does what every Mario Kart before it couldn't get right- you...

Oh hey, a real battle mode
A hallmark of excellence. It may have some flaws, but they are negligible to what is otherwise a supreme title.

It takes some guts to launch a port of a game in your previous generation as a big release on your shiny new console, but that's exactly what Nintendo have done. Many a gamer never got to play the fantastic Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U.
Pros:
- Multiple multiplayer options
- Battle mode is now worthy of your time
- All the DLC on the Wii U included
- Small improvements that'll please veterans of the game
- Play it anywhere you want
Cons:
- Lacking a missions mode
- Not being able to switch items if you have two

Mario Kart 8 was already a great game on the Wii U. Now on the Nintendo Switch it's even better. Bringing everything from the previous games into one package and putting it on a new system was a great call.

Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
While I would have preferred Mario Kart 9 on the Switch, the definitive version of Mario Kart 8 is a welcome addition to the small lineup that Nintendo's console offers. I can't tell you how much fun I had playing this with my friends, coworkers, and strangers online these past few days, and I fully...
Pros:
- Absolutely gorgeous when docked and undocked
- Everything unlocked from the beginning
- Battle Mode
Cons:
- Framerate issues when local games have three our four players
