Haven’t you heard? Today marks Mario Day, a quasi-holiday that commemorates everyone’s favorite overall-wearing, mustachioed Italian plumber — not because it’s his or Nintendo’s birthday, but simply because March 10 = “Mar10.” (And you thought May 4/”May the Fourth” was nerdy.)
To celebrate, retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy have all slashed their prices on Mario franchise games and Nintendo gear and accessories for the next few days. We spent some time parsing through each of their sales, and these are the best deals we managed to find:
Snag Mario games for the Nintendo Switch for cheap
The absolute best Switch gaming deal we found involves 2017’s Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a tactical RPG that came out in 2017: It normally retails for $59.99, but it’s down to a mere $14.99 at Best Buy right now (a $45 savings). Get it here.
Other Mario titles are on sale for around $40 to $45:
As far as we can tell, there’s only one retailer offering a Mario Day deal on the Nintendo Switch console, and it’s Walmart: The big box store is selling a bundle that includes the Switch and a Super Mario Edition PowerA wired controller for the price of just the console ($299). Get it here.
