Super Mario Bros. Wonder is officially Europe's fastest-selling Mario game of all time.

According to Nintendo, who shared the milestone on social media today (October 26), the impressive milestone was made within the game's first three days of launch.

Wonder currently holds the fifth biggest boxed game release of the year and was recently overtaken by Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - which has seen massive success and managed to sell over 2.5 million copies, making it the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever.

Nintendo hasn't yet revealed the statistics for North America or Japan, so it's unclear how Super Mario Bros. Wonder's worldwide sales hold up against the new milestone for Europe.

In our five-star review, Catherine Lewis called the game "a triumphant evolution of 2D Mario" adding, "Not only does it wholeheartedly feel like an innovative rebirth for 2D Mario, but it can’t be overstated how well-polished it is."

It's a busy year for games, but Nintendo has already laid out its plans for a number of new titles to be released in the coming months and next year. 

Fans can look forward to the release of the Super Mario RPG remake on November 17, as well as Side Order, Wave Two of the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass, which is set to arrive in early 2024. We were also recently treated to new details - and new, updated artwork - for Princess Peach: Showtime - which is set to launch on March 22, 2024.
