Mario Kart World has sold over 14 million copies, Nintendo has announced.
According to Nintendo’s Q3 2026 earnings report, the Switch 2-exclusive kart racer has sold a whopping 14.3 million units as of 31st December 2025 since it launched alongside the console in June last year.
However, these figures also include bundle sales. At launch, Mario Kart World was cheaper to buy as a bundle with the console than buying them separately, so it’s not surprising that this has helped bolster sales.
Switch 2 sales stand at 17.37 million during the same period, meaning that most people who bought the console also own Mario Kart World.
It’s a strong start for the Switch 2 kart racer. However, its sales pale in comparison to its Switch 1 predecessor, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With over 70.59 million copies sold, it remains the best-selling game in the series by a wide margin.
