Why These Nintendo Switch Mario Deals Are a Big Deal
Nintendo games are famous for holding their value, meaning discounts are few and far between, especially for flagship titles starring Mario. When sales like this pop up, it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up those must-play games you’ve been eyeing without paying the full price. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the Mushroom Kingdom, getting these top-tier adventures at a discount is exciting news.
Featured Mario Games on Sale
Here are some of the highlight Nintendo Switch games featuring Mario and friends that are currently discounted:
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Originally a hit on the Wii U, Super Mario 3D World made its way to the Switch packed with fun. It offers classic 3D platforming levels but with a unique, almost 2D side-scrolling camera perspective. The real magic here is the multiplayer – up to four players can team up (or chaos ensues!) locally or online across dozens of creative levels.
The Switch version also includes the all-new Bowser’s Fury expansion, a separate, open-world adventure where Mario teams up with Bowser Jr. to stop a giant, furious Bowser. This adds a completely new kind of Mario experience, offering a fresh, expansive area to explore and collect Cat Shines. It’s like getting two great games in one package!

Super Mario Odyssey
Widely considered one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey is a massive 3D sandbox adventure that reinvents what a Mario game can be. Mario travels to diverse and vibrant worlds (called Kingdoms) like New Donk City and the Sand Kingdom, collecting Power Moons to fuel his airship, the Odyssey.
The big gameplay twist is Cappy, Mario’s hat, which he can throw to capture enemies and objects, letting you play as everything from a Goomba to a T-Rex! The game is brimming with creativity, secrets, and pure joy, making it a must-play for any Switch owner. Even at its usual price, it’s a fantastic value, so getting it on sale is a steal. It’s truly a masterpiece in the 3D platformer genre.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Luigi steps into the spotlight in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a beautifully updated version of the Nintendo 3DS gem, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. This game sends the ghost-fearing hero into multiple haunted mansions across Evershade Valley to capture mischievous ghosts with his Poltergust vacuum cleaner.
Each mansion is filled with puzzles to solve, secrets to uncover, and unique specters to trap. It blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and action with Luigi’s signature timid charm. The “HD” version brings enhanced graphics and performance, making this spooky adventure look better than ever on the big screen or in handheld mode.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Looking for something a little different? Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a surprisingly deep and hilarious turn-based strategy game. It’s the sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and takes the tactical combat to new heights with more freedom of movement and unique abilities for each character.
Team up Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and the chaotic Rabbids (including Rabbid Peach, a fan favorite) as they travel across planets to stop a dark entity called Cursa. The game is packed with charm, challenging battles, and plenty of humor. If you enjoy strategy games or just want to see your favorite Nintendo characters in a completely new light, this one is a fantastic pick – especially with its current steep discount.

Where to Grab These Deals
These sales are available through a couple of different platforms. The most straightforward way to buy digitally for your Switch is directly through the Nintendo eShop. However, digital keys are also available through places like Humble Bundle, often at the same discounted price. Humble Bundle can be a good option if you prefer purchasing a key to redeem later or perhaps gift to a friend. Compare prices on both platforms to ensure you’re getting the best deal available at the moment.
Don’t Miss Out!
Getting discounts on first-party Nintendo games, especially Super Mario titles, is genuinely uncommon. These sales offer a fantastic way to add some absolute gems to your Nintendo Switch collection without paying the usual premium. Whether you’re exploring vibrant worlds, busting ghosts, or strategizing against alien threats, there’s a discounted Mario game (or game starring Mario) for you. Don’t wait too long – these limited-time summer deals can disappear as quickly as a Koopa Troopa under Mario’s boot!
Speaking of other sales, the Steam Summer Sale is also live right now if you’re a PC gamer looking for discounts beyond the Nintendo ecosystem.
