From April 12 to May 9, a Super Mario Galaxy bundle will be available at specific retailers, including Super Mario Galaxy and the sequel, along with a Switch 2 console. If you purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 at the same time as the physical or digital version of these galactic adventures and you can save $20 at participating retailers, like Amazon. This bundle is $499.99 (reg. $519.98) and gives gamers the hit console and allows you to experience the intergalactic joy of the Mario franchise all in one place.
If you aren’t familiar with the Nintendo game or haven’t seen the new movie yet, here’s the scoop. The first game follows our mustachioed friend Mario as he travels through space to rescue Princess Peach and her castle, which were so rudely abducted by Bowser. Princess Peach is once again kidnapped in the second game by a gigantic version of Bowser. Mario is tasked with saving the princess alongside his little Luma companion tucked beneath his hat.

New characters only seen in the game are also featured in the new iteration, including Princess Rosalina, played by Brie Larson and Bowser Jr. by Benny Safdie. The film had major wins in the box office with “$182.4M overseas, while U.S. and Canada rang up $190M over the Easter weekend stretch,” according to Deadline.
Super Mario Galaxy was released in 2007, while the sequel was dropped in 2010. The first game is hallowed for its atmosphere, story and charm, while the second game is favored for its gameplay and unique level design. Both games are extremely addictive in their own right.
