Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an enhanced port of the Wii U title Mario Kart 8, released for the Nintendo Switch in April 2017. This version of the game features all of the base and add-on content of Wii U release while adding its own brand new content and changes.

Gameplay
In addition to new vehicle parts and characters, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also features two additional items: the returning Boo and, exclusive to battle mode[5], the Feather from Super Mario Kart.[2] Like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, players are now able to carry up to two items at once.[1] A third level of drift boost has been added, indicated by pink sparks.[6] The game also features a new "Smart Steering" function for younger and novice players, allowing players to more easily stay on the track[1], as well as "Auto-accelerate", which automatically drives the kart forward without needing to push the accelerate button; both of these features can be enabled and disabled at any point during a race from the pause menu, as well as tilt controls and the on-screen map.[7] Unlike in the original game, all of the characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are available from the start; only kart parts are unlockable.[8]
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features a revamped Battle Mode, allowing players to play a variety of modes and battle on a set of eight new and returning battle stadiums.[1][9] In addition to Balloon Battle in the standard game, Battle Mode features returning game modes such as Coin Runners, Shine Theif, and Bob-omb Blast, and a new game mode titled Renegade Roundup, in which one team must capture every member of the other in order to win.[9] A new time trial mode for 200CC has also been included.[6]
Like the original game, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe runs at 60FPS with one or two players and 30FPS with three or four, regardless of whether the system is docked or not. The game renders at 1080p in TV Mode, and at 720p in handheld mode.[10]
Development
With the nature of the Nintendo Switch as both a home console and a portable device, director Kosuka Yubaki thought that Mario Kart would be perfect for the device, and because he also wanted to release a Mario Kart game as soon as possible, the team began work on a port of Mario Kart 8. According to Yubaki, the development process was "very smooth". Using the Wii U game as a base allowed the team to better understand the Nintendo Switch hardware by being able to directly compare the capabilities of the two systems. The superior CPU and memory of the Nintendo Switch allowed the developers to implement features such as additional items and allowing every racer to hold two items.[5][11]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe received critical praise, with review scores generally around the same as if not better than the Wii U release. Many reviewers praised the expanded battle mode, and have called the game the definitive version of Mario Kart 8, though opinions on whether or not the new content and changes add enough to warrant owners of the Wii U version purchasing this version have been mixed.
The game was given a total 35/40 score by Famitsu (9/9/9/8)[12], one point less than their score for Wii U version. Jose Otero of IGN rated the game a 9.3 out of 10, comparing it favorable to the original by calling it, "a souped-up version of the Wii U’s Mario Kart 8" and praising the amount of content present within the game, but criticizing the lack of changes to the online mode. Chris Carter of Destructoid rated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a 9.5 out of 10, calling it, "straight-up a better version of the game without compromise."
In the UK, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the top best-selling game on its first weekend of sales, the first Nintendo-published game to receive the top position since Pokémon White Version in 2011.[13] In the United States, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold over 459,000 copies (including both physical and digital sales) on launch day, making it the fastest selling Mario Kart game.[14]
