Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes all aspects of the previous Mario Kart games and all the features from the original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. In this game, you’ll also get to experience the fastest race class, 200cc. Most things are unlocked for you right from the start, except for the parts, so you just need to turn on the engine and keep it moving. As Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a relatively new addition to the franchise, the company also included smart steering that helps new players get the gist of gameplay before they go all out. Mario Kart 8 looks amazing on the Switch, even though it was launched in 2014. With great art, awesome gameplay, and a lot of twists, you’re getting the best Mario Kart experience ever.
