Super Mario Bros Wonder sets sales records across Europe!

Video games transcend their simple entertainment function; they leave a lasting mark on different generations. Among the titles that have made history, Nintendo's Mario saga holds a unique position. Today, let's focus on Super Mario Bros Wonder, establishing a remarkable sales record in Europe.

Indeed, Super Mario Bros Wonder stands out as the fastest-selling Mario game in Europe, achieving this outstanding performance in just three days of sales. This achievement was officially announced by Nintendo, sparking overwhelming enthusiasm among fans.

The extraordinary success of Super Mario Bros Wonder was celebrated by Nintendo as the fastest launch of a Super Mario title in the entire history of the series in Europe. The company expressed its joy and amazement on social media, stating:

"Wowie zowie! In three days, #SuperMarioBrosWonder recorded the best start of any Super Mario title in the history of the series in Europe. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this achievement!"

An exceptional performance, especially considering the intense competition in the video game market.

According to physical sales data in the UK, Super Mario Bros Wonder ranks as the third-largest physical launch for a Mario platform game in the history of the UK charts. It follows Odyssey and 3D All-Stars. This suggests that digital sales have propelled Wonder to the status of the biggest Mario platform game launch in the UK and, more broadly, in Europe.

Another noteworthy point is the comparison with other popular games. Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz mentions that the first-week sales of Mario Wonder in the UK are "significantly higher" than those of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, which has sold over 16 million copies worldwide to date.

It is also interesting to note that the physical first-week sales of Mario Wonder in the UK were 62% lower than those of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nevertheless, Mario games have a reputation for being "timeless," continuing to sell in large numbers several years after their release.

The intrinsic quality of the game is a factor that could explain this success. Thus, the future looks promising for the continuation of this series, especially if future games are developed with the same passion.
