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.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Review
The Wii U was no fiscal success, but without Mario Kart 8 it would have been a money-bleeding liability. The game that brought us Luigi's Death Stare , MKTV , and single-handedly revitalized its host console (sporting crazy high attach rates ) was a reinvention for Mario Kart , and despite its...

- though minor

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe delivers another wonderful and fun karting experience. To dismiss it simply because we've played a lot of it before on the Wii U just wouldn't be right. For some people, this is going to be their first experience with the game and it's hard not to be jealous.
