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.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, it appears to be a pricing error. Multiple comments point to the price matching the Booster Course Pass or a discount that should have been about $18 off a $60 game, while comparable prices were around $42.

  • Walmart's fraud or policy review can cancel the order shortly after checkout, and some accounts get flagged for unusual activity. Using a different payment method, the Walmart app, PayPal, or a different device has worked for some purchases.

  • The PIN/code is emailed from [email protected], usually within minutes and up to 60 minutes after purchase. If the email does not show up, check spam or the Walmart account page, and a retrieval webpage is available if needed.

  • Yes. The code redeems normally on Nintendo's site or in the Nintendo shop, and several purchases were activated and downloaded right away. If the game does not auto-download, updating the console software can fix it.

  • No. The listing is for the base Mario Kart 8 Deluxe digital game, and the Booster Course Pass is a separate purchase on the eShop. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already includes the Wii U DLC, but not the Booster Course Pass.

We're sorry, we had to cancel your delivery order because it was flagged by our policy review team.
We've started a refund of $17.47.

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?

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
Someone else mentioned the bonus courses were on sale for this exact price ($17.47) so it's also possible they accidentally labeled the game that.
Lucky for us it's digital so we can get it redeemed before they catch on. I thought I would be too late so I went as fast as I could and apparently I haven't used walmart in a while as it wanted to verify my email and phone and my credit card was out of date. I had to put all that in as fast as possible

Oof, that was a short window where they caught it. I'm guessing their system has something in place that flags when there is a sudden surplus of sales on a single item. The price hasn't been corrected yet... you could try to buy it again.

Same here! Did you find a way around this? It keeps getting cancelled


Edit: I used a credit card for payment and it went through right away to give me the code right away and I got to redeem it right away

Anyone have issues with the game loading to the device? I successfully purchased and redeemed but now I see it in virtual game cards but it won't auto download. Then when trying to send it to console it says error problem downloading.

edit: fixed. it looks like it wouldn't download unless I updated the console software.

Looks like it's working for me so far. I had to redeem from the email though, I could just be dumb. It appeared as a card and is auto downloading now.

I attempted to use my own Walmart account which I hadn't used in a while as typically I'll use my partner's with her Walmart+ and my order got cancelled with that same message. I checked out with PayPal, regular credit card wasn't cooperating on the mobile website

I then tried again on her account through the app and I had the code two minutes later. So I'd recommend trying the mobile app if you haven't already - appears to still be live

I have Mario kart world but I haven't really gotten into it, is this better/worth getting?
Yes. You can't get into MKW because you didn't play MK8.
