Super Mario Wonder continues its No.1 reign | UK Boxed Charts

Due to a technical situation at the charts company, we are using GfK data for physical game sales this month.

Famitsu has released its physical sales data for October, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder unsurprisingly topped the charts in its debut month.

Super Mario Bros Wonder is officially the fastest-selling Super Mario game ever, according to Nintendo.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has enjoyed widespread praise from critics and audiences since its release, and as you’d expect from a Mario game, it’s also enjoying commercial success to match. The game debuted strongly in the UK’s weekly retail charts upon its release, while last week, it climbed into the charts’ top spot. This week, as noted by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on social media platform X, the game has held on to the top spot (though its physical sales are apparently still “quite low”.).

Boxed Super Mario Bros Wonder sales beat those of Spider-Man 2 in the UK last week, thereby overtaking the first spot on the sales chart.

Super Mario Bros Wonder topped the UK boxed charts this week, pushing last week's No.1 Spider-Man 2 to second place.

‘Swamp Pipe Crawl’ is one of the harder levels in Super Mario Wonder’s first World as it introduces new mechanics and hides its collectables especially well. Like all the levels up until the point, however, it’s an absolute blast to play and collecting everything is more fun than it is a chore. 

Super Mario Wonder seemingly never stops throwing interesting ideas at you because ‘Rolla Koopa Derby’ is yet another belter of a level. As the name implies, there are Koopa’s, they are on rollerskates, and it’s kinda awesome. 

The fourth level in Super Mario Wonder’s First World introduces some new concepts – this time, you are dealing with block-destroying Bulrushes who are quick to anger. If you want to get all the Collectibles in this level, you are going to have to use them to your advantage. 

‘Here Comes The Hoppo’s is the fifth level in Super Mario Wonder’s ‘World 1’. Like every level up until this point, it adds a funky new mechanic to mess around with. This time, you get to meet the hilariously rotund, Hoppos.

Super Mario Wonder is jam-packed with things to find. Something the game doesn’t tell you, however, is that the game is not against the idea of hiding collectables – even from the checklist. Piranha Plants On Parade is the first level that reveals this deceptive truth, and you are going to have to come back later if you want to get everything.
