Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Furydropped 61 percent when compared to its sales from last week, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

The game still managed to be number one, however, fending off second-place titleFIFA 21in the process.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxewas at number three, which is more remarkable. The title is also a Wii U game that was brought back for the Switch and remains atop charts regularly. In fact, it is the best-selling Nintendo Switch game to date.
