Mario Day 2026 deals are live across the Nintendo eShop and major U.S. retailers, bringing notable price drops to a slate of Super Mario-adjacent Nintendo Switch games—and even a rare markdown on a Nintendo Switch 2 first-party release. The promotion runs through mid-March, and while several staples are discounted to familiar “Nintendo sale” price points, a few cuts stand out for how uncommon they are, including deep reductions on Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and select Switch 2 pricing.
Below is what’s confirmed so far about the Mario Day 2026 sale window, which games are included (and where), and which big-name Mario releases are conspicuously missing.
What We Know: Nintendo eShop Mario Day 2026 sale dates and discount range
Nintendo’s annual March 10 celebration—often branded as “Mario Day” or “MAR10 Day”—is again paired with a digital sale on the Nintendo eShop. For 2026, the eShop promotion includes discounts that start at 20% and go as high as 90%, depending on the title.
Per reporting, the Mario Day 2026 eShop sale runs until March 15 at 11:59pm PT, giving players a little over a week to decide what to grab. The sale is focused on a specific list of games rather than a broad franchise-wide markdown, and it includes a mix of first-party Nintendo releases and at least one major third-party Mario crossover.
One of the more notable takeaways this year: the sale includes Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at a discount on the eShop. That’s being framed as unusual because it’s among the first times a first-party Nintendo Switch 2 game has been discounted on the eShop since the console’s June 2025 launch.
Every confirmed Nintendo eShop deal (prices and percentages)
Here are the titles explicitly listed as part of Nintendo’s Mario Day 2026 eShop sale, along with the stated discounts and prices:
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong — 20% off — $39.99
- Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — 22% off — $61.98
- Super Mario Party Jamboree — 30% off — $41.99
- Super Mario RPG — 30% off — $41.99
- Donkey Kong Country Returns HD — 30% off — $41.99
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury — 33% off — $39.99
- Super Mario Maker 2 — 33% off — $39.99
- Luigi’s Mansion 3 — 33% off — $39.99
- Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 — 50% off — $29.99
- Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope — 90% off — $5.99
Although the list above includes 10 line items as presented, the reporting also notes there are nine games in the Mario Day 2026 sale “not including any special editions or DLC,” while also calling out multiple editions and add-ons for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. In other words, the core takeaway is clear—these are the named deals—but the exact counting may vary depending on whether editions are being grouped together.
The biggest discount: Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope at 90% off (plus DLC discounts)
The standout bargain on the eShop list is Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which is discounted by 90%.
The confirmed pricing details include:
- Standard Edition — $5.99
- Gold Edition (includes all DLC) — $8.99
- Season pass (for owners of the base game) — $7.49
- Individual DLC — $3.74 each
That’s an unusually steep cut for a Mario-branded release on Nintendo’s storefront, and it’s the clearest example of the “rare discounts” angle this year—especially compared to the more typical $39.99–$41.99 price points seen across several first-party staples.
The Switch 2 angle: Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV gets an eShop markdown
The eShop discount on Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings it to $61.98 (22% off). While that’s not a dramatic drop in raw dollars, it’s notable because it’s positioned as one of the first times a first-party Switch 2 title has been discounted on the eShop since Switch 2 launched in June 2025.
Retailers are also participating in Mario Day promotions (more on that below), and at least one retailer price for this Switch 2 edition is lower than the eShop price.
Retailer deals: Amazon and other U.S. stores join MAR10 Day discounts
Mario Day discounts aren’t limited to the Nintendo eShop. Retailers in the U.S. are also running promotions, and the reporting suggests the deals are broadly aligned across multiple stores.
Amazon prices listed for select games (sometimes better than the eShop)
Some of the eShop-discounted titles are also available on Amazon, and in a few cases the Amazon price is lower than Nintendo’s digital discount. The confirmed Amazon prices include:
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong — $29.99 (Amazon)
- Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — $59.99 (Amazon)
- Super Mario Party Jamboree — $39.88 (Amazon)
- Super Mario RPG — $35.50 (Amazon)
These prices matter for two reasons. First, they undercut the eShop on certain items (notably Super Mario RPG and Mario vs. Donkey Kong). Second, they reinforce the pattern that Mario Day is often a multi-retailer event, not just a Nintendo storefront promotion.
TheGamer: GameStop, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon show similar pricing
Separate reporting describes a trend across GameStop, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon: in many cases, the discounts “are lined up across the board,” implying a coordinated or widely approved set of Mario Day price points.
That reporting also frames the deals as U.S.-focused (and explicitly apologizes to readers outside the U.S.), while suggesting other regions may still see some form of MAR10 Day sales through major retailers. However, specific non-U.S. pricing and availability are not detailed in the provided information.
Retail price points highlighted: $29.99 and $39.99 are the big tiers
Across retailer promotions, two price tiers are repeatedly emphasized:
$29.99 deals (retailers, U.S.)
- Mario & Luigi Brothership — $29.99
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (remaster) — $29.99
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong — $29.99
Notably, Mario & Luigi Brothership and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (remaster) are mentioned as retailer deals, but they are not listed among the Nintendo eShop Mario Day 2026 sale items in the provided eShop lineup.
$39.99 deals (retailers, U.S.)
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury — $39.99
- Super Mario Odyssey — $39.99
- Luigi’s Mansion 3 — $39.99
- Super Mario Party Jamboree — $39.99
This is where the retailer sale diverges most clearly from the eShop list: Super Mario Odyssey is described as discounted to $39.99 at retailers, while it’s also described elsewhere as not included in the eShop Mario Day 2026 sale and still priced at $59.99 on the eShop.
Switch 2 retailer deal (U.S.)
- Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV (Switch 2 Edition) — $59.99
That $59.99 retailer price is also echoed in other deal coverage and is lower than the eShop’s $61.98.
Notable omissions: what’s not in Nintendo’s eShop Mario Day lineup
Even with a solid list of Switch-era hits on sale, several major Super Mario releases are described as missing from the Nintendo eShop Mario Day 2026 promotion.
Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are absent on the eShop sale list
Two of the most prominent omissions called out are:
- Super Mario Odyssey — described as still $59.99 on the Nintendo eShop and not part of the eShop sale lineup
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — also described as missing from the eShop sale
The Odyssey situation is especially interesting because it’s described as having been a headliner in the 2025 Mario Day sales, where it reportedly dropped to $39.99 at that time. This year, at least based on the provided information, Odyssey’s discount appears to be happening at retailers rather than on the eShop.
Newer releases remain full price on the eShop (as expected)
The reporting also notes that the most recently released Mario games typically don’t get included in these eShop promos, and that pattern appears to hold for 2026. The following titles are described as still at full retail price on the eShop:
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Mario Kart World
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Mario Tennis Fever
- Super Mario Galaxy 1+2
At the same time, it’s noted that Mario Day sales often extend beyond the eShop, and that retailers like Amazon and GameStop may offer discounts on some of these titles closer to March 10. Whether those specific games will see retailer markdowns isn’t confirmed in the provided details—only that it’s possible based on past patterns.
Extra deal coverage: Mario Kart World and other non-Mario picks appear in broader weekend roundups
Alongside Mario Day-specific coverage, deal roundups are also surfacing discounts that overlap with Mario fandom but aren’t necessarily part of Nintendo’s eShop Mario Day list.
One highlighted example is Mario Kart World for $64.99 via Woot, described as a $10 discount on a physical copy. It’s also characterized as the best-selling game on Nintendo Switch 2, and the coverage emphasizes that discounts on it are “extremely rare.”
That same roundup also reiterates Luigi’s Mansion 3 at $39.99 for a physical copy, aligning with the broader $39.99 retailer tier seen across multiple Mario Day promotions.
Separately, Mario Day 2026 is framed in the context of Super Mario Bros.’ 40th anniversary celebrations, and it’s mentioned alongside the upcoming release of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Specific timing details for the movie’s release are not provided , only that it’s upcoming and part of the broader backdrop for this year’s festivities.
What Remains Unknown
- Exact regional availability outside the U.S. Retailer coverage is described as U.S.-centric, but no confirmed pricing or dates are provided for other regions.
- Whether omitted eShop titles will get added later. There’s speculation that other retailers may discount games closer to March 10, but no confirmation that eShop omissions like Super Mario Odyssey or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will join Nintendo’s digital sale.
- A complete retailer-by-retailer list of all discounted titles. Multiple outlets mention aligned pricing across major stores, but only select examples and price points are explicitly detailed.
- Full details of Nintendo’s “first Switch 2 game to be officially discounted” messaging. It’s referenced, but the exact wording and scope (e.g., eShop-only vs. broader) isn’t fully included in the provided information.
