Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by more of a PSA than an outright deal: if you’re a Nintendo Switch owner who has been on the fence about buying Super Mario 3D All-Stars, you have about a day left until Nintendo removes the game from digital stores and stops shipping physical copies to retailers.

Nintendo has positioned the retro-game collection as a “limited production” to celebrate its mascot’s 35th anniversary since the game’s launch last September. Earlier this month, the company reiterated that March 31 would be the title’s official cutoff date. The game will still be playable after that point, and those who’ve previously purchased a digital copy will still be able to re-download it from the Nintendo eShop if they’ve deleted it from their Switch. Those who’ve bought an unredeemed digital copy will still be able to download the title after March 31 as well. But officially, Nintendo says it will no longer sell the game in the eShop after that date and that any remaining physical copies will only be available until stock runs out.

As of this writing, the game is still widely available. It’s possible that third-party retailers will still have copies in stock for a few days after March 31, but if you don’t want to risk having to go through the reseller market, here’s a list of stores where the game is still up for purchase:

As a refresher, Super Mario 3D All-Stars bundles three classic 3D platformers from the Mario library: the Nintendo 64’s Super Mario 64, the GameCube’s Super Mario Sunshine, and the Wii’s Super Mario Galaxy. As our review notes, these games are widely revered as genre essentials—though debates over Sunshine‘s quality still rage 19 years later—and are well worth experiencing if you missed them the first time around or just want a nostalgia blast on a more convenient console.

At the same time, we also found the collection to be something of a missed opportunity: the similarly excellent Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn’t included, for one thing, and while there is some HD upscaling and control updates to better suit the Switch hardware, most of what’s here has been left untouched. As a result, aspects that were groundbreaking in 1996, 2002, and 2007 can look and feel dated all these years later. For $60, that might be tough for some to swallow. And that difficulty may only be amplified given that Nintendo appears to be artificially restricting supply at a time when demand hasn’t totally dropped off (a maneuver the company has performed before).

Nevertheless, if you’d like to play a few classic Mario games from the comfort of your Switch, consider this your last call. Likewise, March 31 is also the deadline day for Nintendo’s other Mario 35th-anniversary products, including the battle royale game Super Mario Bros. 35 and the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. retro console.

If you’re all set on the Mario front, though, our deals roundup also has discounts on other new Switch games, Amazon Fire HD tablets, Apple’s latest M1 Macs, Dell monitors, indoor security cameras, OLED TVs, and much more. You can have a look at the full rundown below.
