2 March 2026
In celebration of MAR10 Day and Super Mario’s 40th Anniversary, Nintendo Australia and New Zealand has announced a special bonus redemption offer, giving fans a chance to jump through 40 years of Super Mario!
Customers who purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle new from participating retailers or the My Nintendo Store between 10th March 2026 and 14th April 2026, while stock lasts, can claim 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership for free (normally valued at AU$59.95 / NZ$69.95 SRP).
The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle includes both a Nintendo Switch 2 system and a download code for the digital version of Mario Kart World with a suggested retail price of AU$769.95 / NZ$869.95. That’s already a saving of up to AU$49.95 / NZ$59.95 compared to buying separately.
After registering at nintendo.com/au/nintendo-switch-2-bonus-offer/ and uploading a copy of your purchase receipt, you’ll receive an SMS containing your download code for a 12‑month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership in approximately two business days, subject to the terms and conditions of the promotion. Simply redeem*(1) the code through Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system, or online at https://ec.nintendo.com/redeem/, anytime within three years. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership free for 12 months represents a saving up to AU$59.95 / NZ$69.95.
With a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you’ll enjoy all the features of a standard Nintendo Switch Online membership — including online play*(2), classic NES, Super NES and Game Boy titles, and exclusive offers for members. You’ll also gain access to a growing library of Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Virtual Boy*(3) and SEGA Mega Drive games, plus downloadable expansions for selected Nintendo Switch titles.
Players on Nintendo Switch 2 can also explore a growing catalogue of classic Nintendo GameCube games, take advantage of upgrade packs to enjoy Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of selected Nintendo Switch titles, and enjoy access to GameChat*(4).
Already have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack or Nintendo Switch Online membership? You can combine multiple memberships of the same kind, so if you redeem the download code from this promotion while you still have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership you can extend out your overall membership time. If you redeem the download code while you still have an active Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, you will receive compensation, in Gold Points, for your current membership worth the value of the period overlapped by the added Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership. Please note the download code from this promotion cannot be redeemed by a Nintendo Account while it is part of an active Family Membership.
Nintendo Switch 2 builds on the foundations of Nintendo Switch, and delivers a multitude of new features and enhancements, including:
New social capabilities with the built-in mic and the new online feature GameChat*(4) where up to 12 friends and family can play games and talk like they’re all in the same room, even when they’re miles apart. You can also video chat with up to four people if you connect a compatible USB-C camera, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera (sold separately).
Powerful CPU and GPU capable of enhanced visuals and performance.
A large 7.9-inch built-in LCD screen that displays in full HD at 1080p.
Joy-Con 2 controllers that magnetically attach to the console. New mouse controls are also possible by sliding them across surfaces, such as a tabletop or even your lap in compatible games.
256 GB storage capacity – 8 times that of Nintendo Switch (a portion of which is reserved for use by the console).
USB-C ports on the top and bottom of the console, and a freely adjustable stand for playing and charging in tabletop mode.
Crisp audio quality and spatial 3D sound in handheld and tabletop modes.
A new dock that enables Nintendo Switch 2 to output video at up to 4K resolution or play games at up to 120 fps in supported games on compatible displays or TVs.
Variable refresh rate (VRR) technology, available in handheld mode, helps games move seamlessly by preventing frame skips and flickering.
Accessibility features to support a wide range of gameplay styles.
Mario Kart World delivers frenzied Mario Kart racing like never before as well as a series-first: a vast interconnected environment to explore and race across. Players looking to hit the road with Mario and friends can experience:
Up to 24 drivers at once - the most in Mario Kart history - race across courses. Reimagined returning modes like Grand Prix competition, where the paths between courses are part of the race, too.
Knockout Tour, a new game mode where checkpoints eliminate drivers if they can’t keep up with the pack.
Free Roam mode, another new game mode, where players can explore, see the sights and more, solo or with friends online. There are hundreds of single-player missions to complete in Free Roam too.
Plus, look forward to hectic faceoffs in the Battle mode.
Multiple ways to play together with friends, locally*(5) or online*(6). This includes local split-screen for up to 4 players on the same console, local wireless play, and competing or exploring with people from around the world (or friends) in online play.
Using the new GameChat feature on Nintendo Switch 2, players can talk with friends around the world while playing online. Plus, see their live expressions in-game with the new CameraPlay feature by connecting a compatible USB-C camera to the console (sold separately).
