"Mario Kart: World"'s physical retail sales in Japan have officially exceeded the career sales of "Mario Kart 8" (Wii U version), marking a significant achievement in Nintendo's long-running new racing series.As of this week, since its release on June 5, 2025, the sales volume in Japan has reached 1,365,072, surpassing the career sales volume of Mario Kart 8 (Wii U version) released on May 29, 2014.

This milestone makes Mario Kart: World the seventh highest-selling production in the series in Japan, surpassing Game Boy Advance’s Mario Kart: Super Tour and GameCube’s Mario Kart: Double Shock.The sales rankings of this series in the Japanese market are as follows:

1. "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition" (Nintendo Switch) - 6,373,284 copies

2. "Nintendo DS" - 4,020,000 copies

3. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) - 3,830,000 copies

4. Super Famicom - 3,820,000 copies

5. "Nintendo 3DS" - 2,887,908 copies

6. "Nintendo 64" - 2,240,000 copies

7. Nintendo Switch 2 - 1,365,072 copies

8. "Mario Kart 8" (Wii U) - 1,310,444 copies

9. Game Boy Advance - 938,175 copies

10. "Mario Kart: Double Shock" (GameCube) - 825,894 copies

Previously, it was reported that Mario Kart: World is the first game released by Nintendo for Switch 2 to exceed one million in physical sales in Japan, achieving this result in just three weeks.It is worth noting that this record-breaking performance has not yet been included in digital sales.

The game is released simultaneously with the Switch 2, which has become Nintendo's fastest-selling hardware in history, with global sales exceeding 3.5 million units in the first four days.The high penetration of hardware undoubtedly laid the foundation for the early success of the game.

The latest version 1.1.2 update of Mario Kart: World has made comprehensive adjustments to the "random" track selection system, causing controversy among players.The feature, previously prioritized the classic multi-lap track, has now revolved around three preset tracks, including some shorter lap variants.This change has made players who value the diversity of the original system feel unhappy.

Mario Kart: World is an exclusive game on Switch 2, with a retail price of $79.99, and can also be purchased with the console.
