Mario Kart 8 reviews and comments

Up until the Deluxe Version the best Mario Kart yet
«Can’t stop playing»
What is there to say? Great stuff and an absolute pleasure unlocking all the characters and playing online 
«Just one more turn»
«Can’t stop playing»
I was never a mario kart game until this one, but I played the bejesus out of this one and now I'll kick you're ass at it.
A flawless Kart racer. Get it on the Switch
«Blew my mind»
«Better with friends»
A near flawless version of MarioKart only held back by a bizarre console. By far one of the best games for the Wii U. Fun for anyone with even  a passing interest in video games.
