Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, has zoomed past another incredible milestone! Can you believe it? Even after nearly seven years since its release, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still dominating the gaming scene like a champ. Last year, we cheered as it crossed the 50 million sales mark, and now, hold on to your red shells because it’s hit an even more mind-blowing milestone in just one year! Nintendo’s latest quarterly financial report unveiled the staggering news: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has now soared to a whopping 60.58 million sales worldwide since its epic debut back in April 2017 until December 2023. What’s even more thrilling is that our favorite kart racer has clinched the title of the best-selling Switch game ever, leaving its rivals in the dust. Sorry Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Mario Odyssey—it looks like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has claimed the gold cup! Just imagine that in the past year alone, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has burned rubber to the tune of around eight million copies sold. That’s right, a staggering eight million! It’s a testament to the timeless appeal of this classic game, originally based on a decade-old Wii U version. Who says age slows you down? But let’s not forget the turbo boosters that fuelled this phenomenal success. Thanks to the Super Mario Bros. Movie and the Booster Course Pass, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been supercharged with six DLC waves, adding a whopping 96 tracks and bringing back beloved characters from Mario Kart history. Now, that’s what I call a winning formula!

Surprising Pit Stop From Top 20 Chart!

We’ve got news from the racetracks of the gaming world. Remember when we were all revving up our engines for the final wave of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Well, in a surprising twist, our favorite racing game has just skidded out of the US top 20 best-selling games chart for the first time since its launch. Yes, you heard that right! Since its grand debut in April 2017, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been like a superstar racer, holding a pole position in Circana’s (you might remember them as The NPD Group) top sales chart. That’s a jaw-dropping 78 consecutive months! Talk about a winning streak. Even Mat Piscatella, the eagle-eyed industry analyst, suggests that this might be an all-time record. Can anyone say “legendary”? Now, before you start waving those checkered flags in dismay, let’s zoom into some interesting details. Nintendo, our trusty game maker, hasn’t shared its digital sales figures. If they did, who knows? Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might still be zipping along in the top 20. It’s a bit like our friends over at Rockstar with Grand Theft Auto V—they, too, keep their digital sales under wraps. So, there’s a chance our beloved racing game is doing better than we think! And here’s the kicker: as we race towards the holiday season, don’t be surprised if Mario Kart makes a roaring comeback. With whispers of another bundle in the pipeline, we could see our favorite game drift back into the top spots.

Nintendo has just dropped the latest update, Version 3.0.1, for our favorite racing extravaganza, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

And get this: the update also puts the brakes on the controversial ‘sandbagging’ strategy. No more falling behind on purpose to snag powerful items, racers! It’s all about skill and speed now. Here’s a quick pit stop tour of what’s new in the update: Get ready to hit the tracks with these new improvements. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues to be the heart-pumping, joy-inducing racing game we all love. See you on the track, racer!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes all aspects of the previous Mario Kart games and all the features from the original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. In this game, you’ll also get to experience the fastest race class, 200cc. Most things are unlocked for you right from the start, except for the parts, so you just need to turn on the engine and keep it moving. As Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a relatively new addition to the franchise, the company also included smart steering that helps new players get the gist of gameplay before they go all out. Mario Kart 8 looks amazing on the Switch, even though it was launched in 2014. With great art, awesome gameplay, and a lot of twists, you’re getting the best Mario Kart experience ever.
