Why We Love This Deal
While 1993’s Super Mario Bros. has long been panned as the worst video game movie adaptation of all time, the 2023 The Super Mario Bros. Movie starring Chris Pratt as Mario marked a turning point for the Italian plumber’s silver screen performances. Now, with a new film debuting on Apr. 1, exploring the Super Mario Galaxy universe, fans are scrambling to play the games before the movie hits. Luckily, Amazon is now selling the games at their best ever price.
The Super Mario Galaxy 1 + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Bundle for the Nintendo Switch is now just $63. And, considering the original by itself is currently priced at $55, you may as well get the full story in.

Here, famous princess-saving, M-labeled hat-wearing plumber, Mario, goes across galaxies and traverses planets looking for stars. Typically, planets act as themed worlds to jump around, and mastering that theme is key to get the world’s star. User reports at HowLongToBeat suggest a gameplay length of between about 20 and 44 hours, depending on playstyle and abilities. Most adults will sail through (most!) of the levels, so definitely consider co-commanding a controller with a younger relative.
These games are a little bit older, and even though it may feel like they were just released yesterday, we’re looking at 2007 and 2010 release dates, respectively, for the titles included here. But, if you’re playing it on the Switch 2, you can take advantage of modern resolution rates. Plus, it never hurts to remember that 1996’s Super Mario 64 is one of the most popular speedrunning games of all time. People just love a 3D Mario platforming experience, and the vast world of space brings that to another level.
