Mario Tennis Aces blends actual tennis strategy with fighting game mechanics, but the real reason you want to buy it is to play as Waluigi. It’s okay, we get it.

In celebration of the U.S. Open (I assume), digital downloads of Nintendo’s latest Mario sports outing is down to an all-time low $40. It’s the same price on the eShop as it is on Amazon, but you’ll earn 50% more Gold Coins by buying from Amazon.

Do you have a game night coming up on your schedule soon? You’re going to want to snag a bunch of these board games (some of which are discounted) right now. Because, when you spend $50 on Toys & Games, you save $10 on Amazon.

There are some very odd and random items in this promotion as well, including Elmer’s glue sticks (tell all of your teacher friends) and Clorox chlorinating tablets.

There’s a lot to love about USB-C, but if it’s the only port on your laptop, you’ll probably need a good hub to plug in older devices from time to time.

This new 7-in-1 hub from Anker includes slots for an SD card, a microSD card, a 4K/30Hz HDMi port, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C PD passthrough power port, and even a gigabit ethernet port, which you don’t see on many of these things.

The Anker PowerExpand+ only launched last month, but our readers can already get it for an all-time low $32 today with promo code KINJA8352.

Anker Roav 36V Cordless Leaf Blower | $120 | Amazon | Clip the $20 coupon and use code ROAVLD88

Anker, noted USB battery and Lightning cable conglomerate, also makes yard tools now, and two of them are on sale for $30 off today.

First, this cordless leaf blower should obviously come in handy in the coming months, and its 36V battery is capable of generating 220 mph winds. Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility (to bag your leaves). Clip the $20 coupon and use promo code ROAVLD88 to get it for $120.

Second, Anker’s HydroClean pressure washer pumps out 2100 PSI, which is fantastic at this price. My parents got one a few months ago, and when I went to visit, a penis drawing appeared on their driveway temporarily. I’m not saying I did it with the pressure washer, but I’m not not saying that. Get it for $120 with promo code ROAVLD99, and go create your own driveway art.

#9: BOSE SOUNDBAR

If you’re looking for a straight-forward way to upgrade your home theater’s sound, a refurbished Bose Solo 5 sound bar will cost you just $100 today. That’s $100 off retail, and one of the best prices we’ve ever seen.

To be clear, this doesn’t have fancy features like Atmos, or surround sound. But it will be a seriously big step up from the lame audio you’ll get from your flat screen.

Summer is sadly coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still go on vacation. I have two trips planned for this fall. If you need travel organizers to separate your shampoo and conditioner from your toothpaste, you’re in luck. You can snag three Gonex Travel Packing Toiletry Pouches for just $13 on Amazon. You’ll need to clip the 5% off coupon and use promo code CLP27CLB at checkout.
