There are Nintendo Switch games, and then there are must-have Nintendo Switch games: Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and certainly Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. These are just some of the first games anyone should consider picking up for their new system, and this hasn’t really changed much over the years. The list just keeps getting longer. If you haven’t yet jumped on the Mario Kart train, now’s a great time to dive in.

As of March 8, you can get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for just $ 39.99 at Best Buy. That’s $ 20 off its normal price of $ 59.99, and a 37% discount. This price only applies to the digital Nintendo Switch version. The physical version is still $ 53.99, which is $ 6 off, so you’re still saving a bit but it isn’t nearly as good of a deal as buying digital.

This delightful kart racer brings your favorite Mario characters together to challenge each other in races across a variety of colorful tracks. It can also tear friendships and relationships apart if you let it, because nothing can tear bonds asunder like letting loose a blue shell when your partner or friend is in first place and you knock them out.

This version includes a wide variety of additional characters, gameplay improvements over the original Mario Kart 8, and additional accessibility features. Its updated Battle Mode also includes special courses that you can test your racing might against, if you’d prefer to try something a little different. There’s gobs and gobs of entertainment to be had here, and for $ 39.99, you definitely can’t beat it. Just be aware that you might come out a different person when you go in expecting casual races with friends…don’t say we didn’t warn you.
