It's official! Super Mario Bros. Wonder has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the fastest-selling Super Mario video game in history. Since its highly anticipated release on October 20, the game has garnered widespread critical acclaim, with some experts hailing it as a contender for the coveted title of 2023's Game of the Year.
Not only has Super Mario Bros. Wonder earned accolades from critics, but it has also captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Its immense popularity is evident in its impressive sales figures, surpassing even some of the most beloved titles of recent years, including the highly acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
This accomplishment adds yet another feather to the cap of this already distinguished and celebrated game, solidifying its place as a monumental achievement in the realm of Super Mario games. Plus, we guess it means people get freaky for elephants. Maybe.
According to Nintendo's latest financial report, the title has sold approximately 4.3 million units in the two weeks since its release. There is one caveat, though: Nintendo began collecting this data when it released the Nintendo DS and Wii consoles in 2004 and 2006 respectively. So, if another Super Mario title exists that sold more in its first two weeks, there is no way to know for sure, but we doubt it.
