UK Charts: Mario Wonder Jumps Ahead Of Spider-Man 2 And Takes The Top Spot

Wahoooo.A long haul stayer. I know some people were a bit 'is that all?" from the first week, but Mario games tend to live on the charts for years.

Great to see Mario Wonder #1. I beat it Saturday night and it's such a great game.

Just like last week, could you provide the retail sales split for the different versions of EA Sports FC 24 as well?

This was an absolute cert for week 2 👌 Great to see Mario at Wonder One 🙃

Really enjoying MW and well deserved being in top spot.

Very happy for Mario. The game just wants you to have fun. I am also enjoying Detective Pikachu Returns alot. And Sonic Superstars was a good time.

Hopefully Sonic sold enough. I like 2D Sonic.

Question, do they count the dual platform Xbox One/Series releases as Xbox Series? Since I'm playing Sonic Superstars on my Xbox One.

Well, at least Spider-Man 2 was game of the year for a week.

Unsurprisingly, Mario has LEGS. Not even a pair of arachnids could out-leg our portly neighbourhood plumber man.

I imagine he’ll be merrily bounding around the Top 5 until at least Christmas.

Sonic’s legs, however…

Well, unfortunately he didn’t quite attain these towering heights.

Awesome I think this will probably hold up, like NSMBWii, I think Wonder will probably be a big game for Black Friday and Christmas.

Plus the usual evergreen sales for being Mario.

Very well deserved!
Both games are great but 2D Mario really needed a win.😅

Barbie Dreamhouse Adventure was on number 18 ?? 😯
That was a great surprise to see Barbie franchise is still a thing in UK. 😀

How the heck do ye get the 1st 10 Purple Coin in Robbird Cove?! 🤣

Well Done Mario, we know your the king!!

No shock here. Nintendo flagship titles are defined by their evergreen sales. 80% of games sales generally happen in the first 3 months and sales generally drop to nothing in around 6 unless you have you first big sale or release your refresh patch / DLC. Nintendo flagship games sell strong all though their first year, and the occasional small 33% or so sale ensure strong sales for years to come.

So this is just a normal AAA game doing what normal AAA games do, and a Nintendo game doing what Nintendo games do.

Spider-Man had its chance, now move over for the TRUE Game Of The Year

@AmplifyMJ hint, there's a pipe...

@Scarko I couldn’t get in it! 😅 I’ve now figured it out, thank you 😊

Mario your number one.

Wahoooo

Mario!!!! Absolutely loving the game.

@EaglyBird yeah! They managed to cut the frame rate of a PS2 game in half! Imagine the, eh, imagine the miracles they'll work w ..MGS...4...oof
That was tiring.

Well we said nintendo games have legs compared to Sony games but it didn't take long to prove out did it lol

Great result for Mario Wonder.

I can see the top spot being shared between SMB Wonder, SM2, COD, and EA FC from now til Christmas. Maybe the Switch version of Hogwards Leagacy will see that title hit no.1 again for a week too.

This will only become more drastic over time, aside from when Sony is flogging bundle deals. Super Mario Wonder will sell like brand new for full years while Spider-Man 2 will need to keep rapidly dropping in price to maintain a fraction of its initial attention. Nintendo games occupy a curious space in the market compared to the competition.

@JimNorman Thank you for your kindness!

Looks like the Switch version witnessed a w-o-w split increase again (from 13% to 16%)

EA Sports FC 24!

** shakes fists **

What a terrible title. 😆

@EaglyBird That's just self-care, lol. Don't let Konami hurt you.

Unsurprising how UK got tired of Sonic Superstars already. Goes to show not everyone is a fan of the multiplayer aspect of a Sonic game. Sega should really just make Sonic Adventure 3 like what the fans want or had Headcannon return to make Sonic Mania 2 cause it looks like continue throwing random ideas for a Sonic game doesn't work anymore.

@Maxz it's a real shame. Whilst I always preferred the likes of Mario, Sonic was a close rival back in the day. Sega haven't looked after their mascot that well.

@EaglyBird it's tempting for me too. I'm one of the weirdos who love the crazy controls after a while. I'm not sure how new players will respond though. No gyro apparently either.

I love Spider-Man 2, I'm around halfway thru the story (pre-ordered) but I purchased Wonder a few days ago and SM2 has taken a temporary back seat.

Mario Wonder is fun and wacky. I like Mario Maker 1 and 2 but I'd rather play a whole game of levels created by the Mario dev team.

SM2=10/10
Wonder=10/10

Lets-a-gooo!!

In Mario, some levels I've completed have a barely visible symbol on them (I think it's a tick) but others don't even though I've collected everything. Does that mean theres a hidden area/collectible or is there something else I need to do?

@NinjaNicky it's either a hidden collectible or you didn't make it to the top of the flagpole

I'm more surprised by barbie dream house personally.

Great news for Super Mario Wonder, it gets to number one 😀
Interesting to see the FC 24 split too, Switch selling more than the Xbox version... 😁

Oh no Pikachu . Not fan of the spin off but its always sad when our little yellow friend isn't doing too well

@EaglyBird it's my favorite. Specifically BECAUSE the story is not finished. The other games are great but damn they can stfu.
