Perfect Controller for Kids and Mario Fans!
I bought this PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller (Mario Theme) in-store at Best Buy as a gift for my son, and he absolutely loves it! The colorful Mario design is eye-catching and perfect for a young gamer who’s a big fan of the Mario universe. It’s sturdy and lightweight, making it ideal for small hands. The controller is easy to use and pairs effortlessly with the Nintendo Switch. The buttons are responsive, and the overall build quality feels durable, even with heavy use by an excited child. My son has been using it for games like Mario Kart and Mario Party, and it has added so much fun to our gaming sessions as a family. The in-store shopping experience was great, with helpful staff who made it easy to pick out the perfect controller for my little one. If you’re looking for a reliable, fun, and kid-friendly controller, I highly recommend this one!

Smooth gameplay. Sensitivity is true to settings. Light background makes it easy to find if I set it down briefly. Handles are not slick, allowing for better grip and less sweaty palms when playing for hours.
