In the wake of the smash hit Super Mario Brothers movie, three Mario games are in this week's UK physical Top Ten.

Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is at No.2 this week, rising two place after a 9% increase in sales week-on-week. It is the third consecutive week of sales rises for the game.

Super Mario Odyssey is at No.5. The platform game comes bundled with a special Nintendo Switch console, and has been rising up the charts ever since. This week it jumped five places after a 15% sales improvement.

Finally, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is up seven places to No.10 after a 23% sales increase week-on-week.

Elsewhere, Ubisoft's Mario + Rabbids games are also in the Top 40 (Sparks of Hope at No.27 and Kingdom Battle at No.32). However, both of these games dropped in sales slightly (down 18% and 6% respectively).

Otherwise, it's a quiet week for video games. FIFA 23 is still No.1 despite a 39% drop in sales week-on-week. The Resident Evil 4 remake is down to No.3 after a 34% sales slip, while Hogwarts Legacy is now at No.4 with a 32% fall.

Here is the GfK UK Boxed Top Ten for the week ending April 15, 2023:

And to think the bump from TLOU HBO that the games got was impressive. I had completely ignored what a successful Mario movie will do….

Oh man. Nintendo just found more reasons to not make another switch for 5 years. Damn it lol
