In what most likely is a mistake, popular retailer Target is listing the digital version Yoshi’s Crafted World for only one dollar.

1. World 1 Mario

What is surprising about this isn’t just the price, as the game is normally $59.99, but the overall value proposition of this deal. Not only do you get a full retail game, and a Nintendo one at that, those who redeem the code also net an impressive 300 coins. For those curious, 300 coins is equal to three dollars, so you effectively make money purchasing this game. Even if you have no interest in Yoshi’s Crafted World, you’d come out ahead as long as you plan on buying literally anything on the eShop in the next year.

In addition to Yoshi’s Crafted World being listed at this low price, What Remains of Edith Finch is also listed at $1. Given this was a Plus game sometime ago, it isn’t as exciting, though it’s still a pretty good value. This is a game that normally retails for $19.99 and is widely considered a pretty good game. Even if you’re on the fence, much like Yoshi’s Crafted World, you can score some coins redeeming the code. Sadly, this will only net you 100 coins, but that is still a dollar, meaning, if nothing else, you break even.

Added it to cart when it was still $1, but didn't have my CC info on me, come home, proceed to checkout, now $60.

Even if players were not overly impressed with Yoshi’s Crafted World, it’s still a fairly fun game that is simply fun to look at. You’d be hard pressed to see fault in a title that costs you a dollar, much less one that also gives you three bucks to use on a future purchase. Still, some people will complain but you might want to act fast. While there is no doubt Target will put a stop to this, since it is a digital code, there is only so much they can do about orders.

Target had a hell of a flash sale Wednesday morning, as they sold digital codes for Yoshi’s Crafted World for $1 on their website.

Those lucky enough to stay up through the wee hours of the morning managed to jump on the opportunity and snatch the game’s download code for dirt cheap.

According to Newsweek, DekuDeals spotted the huge discount, which caught the eye of Reddit user VanderLegion, who shared his experience on the Nintendo Switch thread.

“No idea why it’s so cheap, but just jumped on DekuDeals to see what was on sale right now and spotted this,” they wrote. “Went over to target.com, bought the $1 digital version, had code emailed to me instantly. Redeemed it on the eShop and received the full 300 gold points, meaning I got more in gold points than I paid to even buy the game in the first place.”

Gamers began spending their hard-earned dollar on the Yoshi’s Crafted World download code in droves at 4 a.m. One hour later, the price for Yoshi’s Crafted World went back up to its original $50 price tag because, according to Target, the $1 listing was a technical error.

Those who managed to purchase Yoshi’s Crafted World for the Nintendo Switch earned 300 gold points. The Nintendo eShop usually gives customers points that are worth five percent of their purchase, but thanks to Target’s muck-up, they got points worth $3, meaning they racked up $2 more than they paid for the game to begin with.

Target released statement about the so-called flash sale of Yoshi’s Crafted World, explaining, “Due to an unexpected error, the item is incorrectly priced at this time. A small number of items on the site may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable. Target reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time without prior notice.”

If you’re one of the lucky gamers who grabbed Yoshi’s Crafted World before the crack of dawn, you saved your money’s worth. Otherwise, better luck next time.
