Mario game sales since 1985

VG247: The original Super Mario Bros. is the biggie, with more than 40 million units sold.

Super Mario Land in 1989 comes second, followed by 1992’s Super Mario World, both with just over 20 million sales.

wow none of them come close to the first one

thedisagreefairy5733d ago

the 1st was bundled with every nes system.

still one of the best games ever made tho

eagle215733d ago

And 3D...but retro is so awesome. I love every cannon Mario game...and would love for Nintendo to re-release Super Mario Sunshine in 16:9 for Wii. Heck, make a Sunshine 2. The game is phenomenal..no matter the hate. (those people probably never beat it anyway..lol).

Sigh5733d ago

Dunno why, New super mario bros Wii is still not as fun as the early 2D mario games. Maybe it's the 2D-3Dish it has but I still love the old 2D Mario games more.

eagle215733d ago

I put NSMBW over Super Mario World 1. Fun as hell. Now Super Mario World 2 is even better than both. :)

Blasphemy-World is the BEST mario game EVER IMHO

rekof5733d ago (Edited 5733d ago )

didn't it come with nes? ,.. so that is why,.. Still, a great game !

@Sigh ,.. agreed,.. !!
I even think, that controls are not as tight in new Super Mario bros Wii,..
I think they even felt better in Paper Mario on the Wii,.. and that is not 'sidescroller' for the most part,..its kinda an RPG,.. but platforming felt tighter,.. (Paper Mario is an awesome game bdw)

Sigh5733d ago

agreed, love me some paper mario. But yeah there's just something about the New Super Mario Bros. on Wii that doesn't have that same feeling as the earlier 2D mario games.

MrKingofVideoGames5733d ago (Edited 5733d ago )

To NSMB Wii. I liked it as much as any of them (well, maybe I like SMB3 and Yoshi's Island a bit more). Also, you fans of Super Paper Mario are right on! We need another!

eagle215733d ago (Edited 5733d ago )

Bubbles bro. I agree with you. Super Mario Bros. 3 is flat out perfect...no...heavenly...lol. My all-time favorite 2D Mario.

The beauty of NSMBW are the awesome moves Mario does...like wall jumps from the 3D Mario's. If you play other 2D Mario's right after NSMBW you will make a mistake and try to wall jump...lol. If you go for all the Star Coins in NSMBW, the game opens up to flat out awesome. :)
