There’s currently no bundles available, but the game it’s tied to – Super Mario Bros. Wonder – isn’t released until 20 October.

This latest chapter of Mario’s adventures puts players in a side-scrolling story in unfamiliar territory: the Flower Kingdom. You’ll be able to play as Mario, Peach, Daisy, two different Toads, Toadette, Yoshi, Nabbit and Luigi, too.

What are its features?

This latest model differs from the previous Mario-themed Switch by going for a red and black design (as opposed to the red controllers with a blue Joy-Con grip).

The back panel is decorated with a silhouette of Mario, plus when you open its door you see that he’s running towards a grid of gold coins.

To shop the Mario Red Nintendo Switch OLED head to GameStop and Best Buy in the US and Game in the UK.
