Nintendo Offers $15 Off Super Mario Galaxy But Only If You Jump Through Woot Hoops

KEY POINTS

  • •Nintendo released the Super Mario Galaxy double pack for $69.99 on the Switch in October.
  • •Woot offered a $15 discount at $54.99, but buyers must select 'New – USA Version' from a dropdown menu.
  • •Enhanced console support includes a resolution bump to 3,840 x 2,160 on Switch 2 without anti-aliasing.
  • •Fans anticipate the 2026 Super Mario Galaxy movie, even as reviewers desire more than these straightforward game ports.

In a dazzling display of generosity, Nintendo launched the Super Mario Galaxy double pack for the Switch on October, retailing at $69.99. Yet savvy shoppers could snag it for a mere $54.99 at Woot, but alas, only if they chose the mysteriously labeled ‘New – USA Version’ from a dropdown menu that likely confounds many. This deal, intriguingly called a 'day-long' offer, expired yesterday, testing fans’ reflexes and patience. The games, upgraded to boast 3,840 x 2,160 resolution—yes, a galaxy of pixels—run best on the Switch 2, but sadly sans anti-aliasing, proving even stellar graphics have their quirks. Meanwhile, a reviewer sighed for more than straightforward ports, while fans brace for next year's Super Mario Galaxy movie. Because nothing says blockbuster like jumping into a galaxy of retro pixels and confusing menus!
