Today is the second day of Prime Day deals, but Amazon doesn’t always offer the lowest prices. for example: Mario + Rapids: Battle of the Kingdom (Opens in a new tab). This game currently costs $24 on Amazon. While that’s a fair discount on its usual $59 price tag, you can actually get the game much cheaper at either Best Buy or Target. In fact, you might like it, given that a) Mario + Rabbids is probably the most underrated game on the Switch, and (b) there are only a few months left for a much-anticipated sequel.
Depending on where you live, you can get it Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for $14 in-store at Target (Opens in a new tab)or free delivery for $19 at Best Buy (Opens in a new tab). The Target deal requires a store near you to get the game in stock, but the Best Buy deal will ship anywhere. Whichever is more convenient for you, you should seriously consider playing the game, if you haven’t already. This turn-based strategy game is delightfully clever and deceptively challenging and is simply one of Mario’s most creative adventures in years.
Whatever you think of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, there is nothing else like it. You control Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, as well as their Raving Rabbid counterparts. Together, the eight adventurers set out on a mission to save the Mushroom Kingdom through a series of increasingly challenging turn-based strategy battles. With some light puzzles, RPG elements, and great playtime, Mario + Rabbids is one of those concepts that works by its absolute daring.
Ubisoft also has a sequel in the works: Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, which comes out on October 20. While we don’t expect it to have an ongoing story, you’ll likely play Kingdom Battle first, just to see where all the jokes are coming from.
I’ve been singing the praises of Mario + Rapids for years, and I don’t expect to stop anytime soon. At $14, it’s an easy impulse buy, and it shows that Nintendo is still willing to take some smart risks now and then. But if history is any indication, this game will be back at full price soon, so don’t wait too long.
