While Prime Day may be over, there are still some great deals live at other retailers. Dozens of major video games were on sale this year, especially for Nintendo Switch. If you’re on the hunt for a new Switch game still on sale, look no further than Super Mario Odyssey. Walmart has the masterpiece available for $39.39 today, and it’s hard to beat this price, as Nintendo rarely puts its first-party games on sale.

Super Mario Odyssey stars Mario and his newfound companion Cappy as the two travel across numerous Kingdoms to stop Bowser’s plans of marrying Princess Peach. It’s an adventure filled with countless gameplay mechanics, challenges, and charm. The star of the show is Cappy, as he allows Mario to take control of enemies and objects in the environment thanks to the Capture mechanic.
I spent over 140 hours in my initial playthrough of Mario Odyssey, as I hunted down every single Moon available in the game. Even almost eight years later, Super Mario Odyssey is still one of my favorite Nintendo Switch games. Between Moons and Purple Coins, there is no shortage of content to discover, so you’ll be occupied for dozens of hours after the credits roll.
What We Said in Our Review
In our 10/10 review of Super Mario Odyssey, Ryan McCaffrey wrote: “Mario’s games have been around for almost as long as game consoles have been a thing, but thankfully, he’s always evolving. We rarely get the same Mario twice. Super Mario Odyssey delivers on that ongoing promise of originality and innovation: It distills the venerable series’ joyful, irreverent world and characters and best-in-class platforming action, and introduces a steady stream of new and unexpected mechanics. It’s all spun together into a generational masterpiece.”
