Donkey Kong in a Mercedes Benz before GTA 6.

The worst way to play the best Mario Kart game. Play Toad Harbor in Battle Mode if you want a brain aneurysm!

Would not have bothered to keep playing if it wasn't for online keeping my interest alive...that and my kid mind being blown that I could play as all the koopalings

My most played Mario Kart game
What can I say other than; it's Mario Kart and it was fun!


Anti gravity racer? Yeah that's cool. I don't know why they didn't have battle mode which is unfortunate. Though as a continuation to 7's kart customization this is amazing. Also, this is the best looking Mario Kart game to date. Maybe even the best Mario looking game period? Not sure on that however.

Love this game. It was my big covid game and I spent an absurd amount of time playing. I still pick it up often with friends.

This game finally shows us what it's like to ride karts upside down.

Divertidooooo
Principalmente com os amigos

yeah, im playing some old games in memory of the wii u online being shut down. this is one i’m logging early cause it’s literally just mario kart 8 deluxe but worse LOL

I recall MK8 being very fun, however I'm unsure of how well it's aged. My guess? Probably not too well due to it having little replayability

Mario Kart 8 is the pinnacle of Nintendo's iconic kart racing franchise. It offers a vibrant, chaotic racing experience with stunning visuals and courses that defy gravity. The expansive roster, customizable karts, and thrilling online battles ensure endless replayability. While some might find the reliance on item-based luck a bit frustrating, Mario Kart 8 is an absolute blast for players of all skill levels, delivering pure fun in its most polished form.

The best Mario Kart in the series, but without a good battle mode. Would be really cool if there was a Deluxe version which fixes that.

Nintendo Mariokart ate with this one

Mario Kart 8 has the charm of Wii and the features of 7 blended into one game, and it's all the better for it. Including the DLC MK8 has a phenomenal course list with the best remakes in the series by far. The lacklustre use of the GamePad and bloated character roster bring my score for this down, but it is clear to me that this is a special game.

this one just don't hit like double dash and wii bro

É legal mas sendo bem sincero o drift é bem estranho (ou talvez eu esteja muito acostumado com crash team racing)

Uno de los mejores Mario Kart que se lanzaron hasta ese momento, con pistas sumamente llamativas y variadas es un juego excelente para disfrutar tanto en solitario como con amigos

Unica razão de eu dar 4 estrelas é o mario se esgoelando gritando Mario Kart EEEIIIIII na abertura.

better than deluxe based on the fact it has one item slot

Obviously more bare bones compared to Deluxe, but it's nevertheless a total blast. Gotta love that boom box, baby.


Combining the already tried-and-true racing formula of Mario Kart with anti-gravity shenanigans is fun in MK8 Deluxe & it's still fun in the original as well. This landmark MK title set the stage for what I believe to be the best one in the series. The gameplay never stops being fun & the soundtrack never stops being an absolute joy to the ears.

One of the defining games on the Wii U. Mario Kart 8 is a great game with an outstanding track selection and an okay roster.

At the time, Mario Kart 8 was Nintendo's best looking game, and I'd argue it still is. every track is graphically pleasing and looks phenomenal. The gameplay is the best it has ever been, it feels so good to control.

The Soundtrack, oh my god, this was around the time Nintendo really started to use Jazz for Mario games, and it's a perfect match. Mario Kart 8s soundtrack is so good. It's Nintendo best soundtrack in my opinion.

This was also the first Mario Kart with DLC, while good, I feel the tracks in the base game are stronger. The addition of 200cc however, is one of the best Nintendo has done. 150cc feels so slow now!

Overall, Mario Kart 8 is a great game BUT playing it on Wii U nowadays isn't worth it when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe exists which improves on everything wrong with this game.


Demasiadas horas metidas en esto, el juego que hizo que me comprara una wii u, me alegra que no se perdiera en esta consola y lo pasarán a switch porque es el mejor Mario kart con diferencia

Es la misma mierda que el deluxe pero con menos contenido
