Mario Day is here, and with every March 10 comes the usual slew of discounts and deals on everything Nintendo has to offer. It's my literal job to keep track of Switch 2 accessory prices, and I've spotted savings on everything from cases to controllers. But out of the lot, it's the official Super Mario Samsung microSD Express Card I want to bring to your attention.

The Switch 2 SD card usually sits at $59, but it's down to $39 at Amazon this Mario Day. It's only ever been almost this cheap once before, and that was last year when the holiday sales were kicking off. Otherwise, the best Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Express Card stays firm at its full $59 price, making today's $20 off a bit of a rarity. Not just that, but today's deal price makes it the cheapest option for finding any bit of storage for your Switch 2, so you'd be silly not to pick up before Mario Day comes to an end.

256GB Samsung Switch 2 microSD Express Card | $59 $39 at AmazonSave $20 - This Switch 2 SD card provides an extra 256GB worth of storage to store and run Switch 2 games, Switch games, screenshots and game clips. It's equipped with up to 800 MB/s read speeds, and during my own testing, was able to load up games like Mario Kart World in a lightning-fast 22 seconds. Plus, it looks super cute with its iconic red 'M' Super Mario design.UK: £49.99 at Amazon

Should you buy the Samsung 256GB Switch 2 microSD Express Card?

Even if you're making do with the onboard storage of your handheld, I wholeheartedly recommend grabbing this Switch 2 SD card deal. Typically, microSD Express Cards are pretty pricey as they're the latest and only way to store and run Switch 2 games. They don't meet the same deals that the older Switch SD cards do, so today's deal is about the lowest you can expect to ever pay for any Switch 2-compatible card.

Now, I don't want you to fork out $39 just for the sake of it, but trust me, having an extra 256GB to play around with is going to come in handy now and in the future. Take Pokemon Pokopia, for example. It's a digital-only release and requires 10GB worth of install space. Having an extra 256GB would make you more than prepared to download it to your device, especially if you've already got a ton of older Switch games taking up space. While it's only 10GB, other Switch 2 releases are beginning to get pretty storage-demanding, like the 102GB required by Final Fantasy 7 Remake, for one. It's likely only going to get worse from here on out.

Plus, this is the only Switch 2 SD card to feature an officially licensed Super Mario design, besides the SanDisk model. You aren't ever going to see it once it's popped in the card slot, but today's $39 deal price more than shaves off that typical escalated license fee you see on official accessories. If you're a Mario or just want to futureproof your handheld, don't skip out on this saving.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
