Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[b] is a 2017 kart racing game developed and published by Nintendo and released for the Nintendo Switch. The game is an expanded and enhanced re-release of the 2014 game Mario Kart 8. Deluxe follows the same gameplay as Mario Kart 8 and the rest of the Mario Kart series, where players race in go-karts while trying to sabotage each other with items. Players can control one of several characters from the Mario franchise and other Nintendo franchises, with several additional characters being added in Deluxe. The game also introduces a revamped battle mode, featuring five sub-modes and eight battle courses.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was first teased in October 2016 during the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer, and was fully revealed during the Nintendo Switch Presentation in January 2017. Deluxe released on April 28, 2017, and was both a critical and commercial success. Critics widely considered it to be the definitive edition of Mario Kart 8, and some considered it the best game in the Mario Kart series or one of the best racing games of all time, while some criticized the lack of significant new content compared to the original. As of September 2022, Deluxe has sold over 48 million units, making it the best-selling Nintendo Switch game and one of the best-selling games of all time.

Since launch, Deluxe has received several software updates. One such update edited a gesture performed by the Inkling Girl that was likened to the bras d'honneur, which is considered offensive in certain areas and cultures. Additional updates introduced compatibility with the toys-to-life concept Nintendo Labo. In February 2022, Deluxe was announced to be receiving paid downloadable content known as the Booster Course Pass, which features 48 additional race courses split into six waves, set to be released by the end of 2023.
