Score Breakdown
The Review
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling racing game of all time with over 64 million copies. The anti-gravity sections add spectacle, the 96 tracks (with DLC) offer staggering variety, and the item balance — yes, including the Blue Shell — keeps every race unpredictable. It is the ultimate party game, the ultimate road trip game, and the reason more friendships have ended over a Nintendo console than any other cause.
Fun Fact
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe outsold every other Switch game and is the best-selling game on the console at over 64 million copies.
