If you have a Nintendo Switch, you know Nintendo’s first-party games don’t go on sale often. Even used copies of games starring that charming little Italian plumber hover frustratingly close to retail no matter how long they have been out. This week, however, Best Buy is offering $20 to $40 off some very popular Mario games in honor of his holiday. You see, it’s March 10, and Mar10 kinda looks like the word “Mario.” Adorable. The sale includes both physical and digital copies of the games, which is handy if you’re always losing those little cartridges. There are also a few fun accessories tossed in with all the deals.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe $39 (Was $59)

I don’t need to tell you what Mario Kart is. Few video games have the kind of long-lasting appeal as Mario Kart. I once accidentally smashed my brother’s laptop after a particularly egregious loss on the GameCube version. You can get a physical copy of the game or the same discount on a digital download version.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Mario Set Mario Edition $59 (Was $99)

If you want to drag the Mario Kart action out into the real world, this interactive set includes camera-wielding carts that drive around tracks you design in your home. You get a first-person view of the action as Mario and his pals scream around your living room and terrify your dog. It’s nearly half-off during the sale.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
