Community Reviews

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch is being offered as a digital download at a steep discount, and the main draw is instant access to a huge kart racer that is easy to keep on the system. The code usually arrives by email within minutes, often redeeming cleanly on Nintendo's site, and the digital format avoids cartridge swapping. The main caveats are that Walmart's listing appears to be a pricing mistake, checkout can trigger cancellations or unusual activity flags, and the code may land in spam. The Booster Course Pass is not clearly included, so that extra content may still need to be bought separately.

  • Players who want a digital copy for quick access, because the code can arrive instantly and redeem cleanly on the Nintendo account.

  • Households tired of swapping cartridges, because the digital version stays on the system and avoids changing game cards.

  • Switch 2 owners who want the newer multiplayer update, because the game now supports higher refresh rates and up to eight-player split-screen.

  • Mario Kart fans who want a lot of content, because Deluxe includes the Booster Course expansion and all Wii U DLC.

  • Shoppers who need a frictionless checkout, because the purchase can trigger unusual-activity flags, cancellations, or repeated payment errors.

  • Players who expect the code to land in their inbox immediately, because the email can go to spam and sometimes needs retrieval from the account page.

  • Buyers who want the Booster Course Pass included automatically, because the listing can be missing that DLC despite the description.

  • People who have not logged a Switch eShop account yet, because redemption can require a console-linked Nintendo account before purchase or activation.

Definitely a price mistake. Glad to finally have a digital copy so I don't have to swap games for the kid.
Absolutely, if it was for physical only the order would have gotten canceled before you made it to Walmart.

Even though I even own it physically I had to get it again because it rare to see a nintendo game go this low in price 😂
Probably could still sell your physical copy for $30. I am betting that this was a price error. I bet it was supposed to be $18 off $60, not $18 total. Someone mentioned other places are having it on sale for $42. Luckily it's digital and I already redeemed it, so they aren't cancelling my order.

I purchased it, and my order page shows it as delivered; I checked my email and spam folder. Nothing!
I had the same problem called customer service and they directed me to a website to access the code

what other deals?
Yeah, I'm not sure what they are talking about. I just searched Walmart over the last 24 hours on slick deals and nothing else comes up besides Dragon Quest 1+2 for $40, which is pretty standard fare.

I had to call? It's already midnight; I'll do that tomorrow. Doesn't seem like worth $18 now since I have to do extra work lol.

Do you have the website? Maybe enter your order number and retrieve it?

get it think about it later
Well it's digital, so once you get it you got it. However, I bet this is a price error and it was supposed to be $18 off, not $18. They are gonna correct their error soon.
Since I have NSO + expansion on top of the Switch 2 patch this is exciting.

Ordered on the site, the code redemption email ended up in my Gmail spam. Redeemed the code no problem to my Nintendo account through the link in the redemption email. Traded my physical copy awhile back but haven't played all the DLC content with my Nintendo online membership. Thanks OP!

Also buying and selling my cart I guess
I would bet you can sell Mariokart for $30 on marketplace. I see it for that price all the time and the post doesn't stay around long.

You got the code to redeem right away? I don't seem to have it or not sure where to find it...
I got mine within a minute, hopefully it's in your spam folder. You may be able to go to your account page on the walmart site.

My copy's going online for $35 after snagging this and successfully redeeming just now. Really only grabbed it because I love and play this game a lot so digital just more convenient than having to swap the card all the time

100% guarantee it was supposed to cost $42 like the eshop tho not $42 off - someone at Walmart messed up this will be dead by the time the sun's up at latest

Quote from Chewie9 View quoted comment :
It's the exact same price as the Mario Kart 8 booster course pass, $17.47. I'm guessing someone put that as the actual game price, thus the price mistake.
Ah, that could be. I can see someone making that mistake. I re-read the game description a dozen times over making sure it wasn't some avatar or DLC or something. It is in my library now.
