The Mario Day Event has officially kicked off and that means 25%-33% off several Nintendo Switch titles that showcase Mario and his friends. Save on must-own titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Maker 2, Mario Odyssey, and more.
Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $44.99
Every Switch owner should have this game in his or her library. This is the best racing game and one of the best multiplayer games for the Switch console. Mario Kart 8 wasn’t discounted on Black Friday, but it is today for Mario Day.
Super Mario Maker 2 for $39.99
This sale only runs until March 14 (Saturday) so hurry up and get Mario Maker 2 at the lowest price ever. This game is like Super Mario Bros U Deluxe on steroids; you have a complete single player “story mode” as well as the ability to create your own level masterpieces, or download others’ creations. We rated this game an “Amazing” (9.5/10). Seth Macy writes “Super Mario Maker 2 does nearly everything better than its already excellent predecessor, keeping the charm of a Mario game while introducing some incredible new ideas“.
Up to 33% Off Even More Nintendo Switch Games
All of these discounted games are part of the Mario Day Event running from now until Saturday, March 14. These first party Nintendo titles are discounted only a handful of times per year. They’re also physical copies, meaning you have the option to trade them in or sell them once you’re done playing them (you still can’t do that with digital).

Nintendo Switch V2 with Free PowerA Mario Controller for $299
There aren’t very many Nintendo Switch deals right now, but Walmart is throwing in a free controller when you get either the new generation Switch with the longer battery life.
Seagate Expansion 8TB USB 3.0 External Desktop Hard Drive for $119.99
2TB, 4TB, or even 6TB too small for you? This massive drive is cheaper than any 8TB hard drive on Black Friday. It’s compatible with the PC, PS4, or Xbox One but unlike one of those small portable drives, you’ll need to plug this into a power outlet as well as a USB port. It’s worth it for all the storage (there’s no such thing as a 8TB portable drive).
$50 Off the Latest Apple iPad Mini
The latest iPad Mini was released in 2019, which makes it almost 4 years newer than the previous iPad Mini 4 (released in 2015). That means that, unlike most Apple generation upgrades, this one is significant. The new iPad Mini is way more powerful than before and stands toe to toe with the bigger iPad Air. The smaller 7.9″ screen size also makes it more totable than its full sized brethren.
Out 6/26: Ghost of Tsushima for PS4
Ghost of Tsushima is coming exclusive to the PS4 console in less than 4 months. The Special Edition includes a steelbook case and some DLC goodies. The Collector’s Edition includes a steelbook case, replica Sakai mask and stand, Sashimono war banner, cloth map of Tsushima, Furoshiki wrapping cloth, 48-page mini art book, and even more DLC extras.
- Preorder the Collector’s Edition for $169.99
- Preorder the Special Edition for $69.99
- Preorder the Standard (Launch) Edition for $59.99
Alienware Aurora R9 AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming PC for $1078.49
Use code “EXTRA17”
For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the Intel vs AMD CPU war, AMD has been giving Intel a run for its money with its flagship processors. The new AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor is comparable to the Intel Core i7-9700, both in terms of gaming and workstation performance. It’s paired with an RTX 2070 video card, which is superior to the previous generation GTX 1080, as well as plenty of RAM and a spacious 1TB solid state drive. The Radeon RX 5700 XT performs on par with the GeForce RTX 2070.
