> 3 dayThis was a big hit at Christmas for my favorite 6 yr old. A video game with so many characters to use, and so many ways to build cars to race in. This game is really fun and easy to play with once you get it figured out. You could spend hours playing and maybe not see all the chances to create something new.... everyone in the Mario universe is here plus a ton of others represented. Such a cool game!

> 3 dayIf you love Mario Kart you are going to love this game! I grew up playing on my wii and DS, so finally getting this game for the switch was such an upgrade. The graphics are great and the controls are easy to understand. I love it.

> 3 dayIm so happy to be playing Mario Kart again! This was my game when I was younger, and having it now just brings it all back! All of the tracks are gorgeous and fun to play. Theres enough of them with enough variety where everyone will find favorites. The wide roster of characters to select from add to the fun! I never expected to be playing Link in Mario Kart ever, and had a blast as him! Ive already dabbled in the battle modes, and those seem just as entertaining as I remember! It sounds like the WiiUs version was lacking in this department, so Im glad they made the improvements. Its nice having the option to bank up 2 special toys to use on your competition from the mystery boxes, and I find it fun unlocking customization for my Karts. Its an exceptional game that Im glad got a port to the Switch from the WiiU. It is an older game though, so some who already HAVE it from the WiiU days may be a bit disappointed in not getting much fresh and new with this installment. Id give it a 4.5 Stars if I could simply because it is an older game that people have already on a different system. Id like to encourage Nintendo to have Switch era games available/developed like in the case of Zelda Breath of the Wild, so I believe a mild dock of stars would be appropriate. Cant wait to play the next generation of Nintendo!

> 3 dayIts been out for a while and its definitely cheapest on Amazon for $49 new rather than the regular $60 it sells for. The game is very fun though, and while it can be solo, if you really want to test your skills online is always an option

Greater than one weekSo much fun and insanely nostalgic. They did a great job reimagining all the old Mario Kart games we grew up with and love. There are so many hours of gameplay for by yourself or with friends!

> 3 dayIf youve played Mario Kart before, this is still a great title for the Nintendo Switch. The graphics have improved significantly over Mario Kart 7. All content is available from the beginning, which is great and terrible at the same time. The potential to unlock characters was a big part of the game for me, and I miss that from this release. You can unlock one character, Gold Mario which replaces Metal Mario but that is it. Theres a wide variety of maps available, most of them are stunning and very fun to play. Im disappointed with Battle mode, there is only a very small collection of maps available, and some are absolutely broken on certain mini-games like Renegade Round-Up where a match might last 19 seconds, even when playing against easy AI players just because theyre so small and there arent that many places to run around to. In Summary; Bring back the ability to unlock more than one character, and fix the major issues with your mini game offerings and its perfect.

> 3 dayThis game is great! Feels just like the Mario Kart games. The only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is because I’m not a fan of them adding non-Mario characters to the game like Link and Inkling. Before too long this will be a Smash Bros type game, which I think would take away from the nostalgia.

> 3 dayWe play this game as a family (4 player) and love it. It is super fun, with a lot of colorful race courses. The best part is that you can unlock secret racing suits using amiibos from other games. We had the Samus and Link suits. My daughter is working to save up for the Mega Man suit.... great motivator tool. We recently had 18 kids over for a birthday party. The kids (boys and girls alike) loved this game, and were equally excited to play and watch others play this game.
