Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review: The Nintendo Switch's second 'must have' game

Chances are, you have a Mario Kart memory. Whether it's huddled around an N64, firing a Blue Shell at your devious older brother, or playing wirelessly with friends on your various Nintendo DS's, almost everyone has, at some stage, been obsessed with Nintendo's flagship racer. With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, we've hit peak Mario Kart. Whether you played the series on DS, N64, Wii, SNES, Gamecube, or GBA, Deluxe feels like meeting an old friend you haven't spoken to in years, only they're much better looking than you remember. Despite being released on Wii U three years ago, this updated version feels fresh, having been given a new lick of paint and featuring the additional DLC previously added to the core game.
