The Mario Kart Games, Ranked From Worst To Best - Page 11 of 11

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Wii U, 2014 / Switch, 2017)

Can you believe Mario Kart 8 came out nearly a decade ago? That’s a mighty long and uninterrupted reign for a Mario Kart game when you look at the release timeframe of so many of the games before this, but really, Nintendo hasn’t had to replace it, and might not need to for a while yet. An upgraded version on the Switch and some DLC has been enough to keep this one of the finest ever games, Mario Kart or otherwise.

And now, with all the sudden updates that have added a whopping 48 additional retro and unseen courses, alongside new characters like Birdo (and five more mysterious additions to come), the undying game has further cemented its spot as the number one Mario Kart ever.

Everything we’ve discussed previously on this list, from characters to courses, is done better here than anywhere else. It’s innovations are rare, but its perfections are everywhere, particularly in its course design, which features truly breathtaking moments as gravity is inverted, whole sections of track disappear and coins are turned into rupees.

Quite simply, if you want to play Mario Kart, online or solo, with traditional characters or newer introductions, classic tracks or modern masterpieces, this is the game to play.
