A bunch of Mario games have released over the past couple years, but 2023’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder is arguably the most important and popular of the lot. The 2D platformer brought Mario back to his roots while also tossing in heaps of new content to explore–including game-altering Wonder effects and the hilarious Elephant power-up. If you’ve yet to check out the game, you’ll now find it listed for just $50, which is its best price of the year.
Typically sold for $60, Super Mario Bros. Wonder hasn’t seen many worthwhile discounts since launching in late 2023. First-party Nintendo games rarely see price cuts shortly after launch, and even games released years ago still carry their full $60 price tags. So if you’re interested in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, this $10 discount might be the best we see for months (or longer).
Our Super Mario Bros. Wonder review gave it a superb 9/10, thanks to its fun multiplayer, inventive stage types, and a large degree of freedom and customization.
“Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a bold choice for a name,” critic Steve Watts wrote. “It plants a flag in the ground that suggests anything less than a constant sense of awe and delight will be a failure by its own terms. But then, surprisingly, Mario Wonder rises to the challenge and the result is a modern classic.”
Along with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, you’ll find Super Mario RPG, the other major 2023 Mario game, for $50 (down from $60). You can also preorder Princess Peach: Showtime for $50 at Geek Alliance or snag it for the full $60 at Amazon. Princess Peach: Showtime releases March 22–you should check out our preorder guide for details on exclusive bonuses.
2024 is already looking like another fun year for Super Mario fans. The remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong released in February, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will launch on May 23.
