Mario Day saw plenty of big announcements this year, including a collection of new Mario Lego sets coming in August. While we’ll need to wait until 2026 to see a new Mario movie, there are plenty of awesome discounts happening now on games, Lego sets, and collectibles featuring Mario and other denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or want to gift something special to the Nintendo fan in your life, this is a prime opportunity to get more for your coins.
Nintendo has knocked $20 off select Switch games that usually cost $59.99, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Mario Party Superstars, and more. You shouldn’t have an issue finding digital copies at most retailers, but deals on physical copies is more hit and miss.
Through March 16, you can get a free $25 gift card for Best Buy, GameStop, and Target with the purchase of a Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite. Amazon is offering a similar deal as well, just make sure to click “redeem” on the product page before checking out. This deal even includes the special, Mario Red edition Switch, and is a great way to get a discounted game with your console purchase.

Nintendo is offering an extended free trial of Nintendo Switch Online through March 17, allowing you to sample 14 days of the online service.

The service costs $19.99 annually for an individual user, so this is a great way to sample it.
If you’re not looking to drop some cash on any new games featuring Mario or Luigi, Nintendo has also quietly launched a demo for the upcoming Princess Peach Showtime!, which is currently available for free on the Nintendo eShop ahead of the game’s March 22 launch.
