Notes[]

  • * Includes VGChartz numbers.
  • The NES games simply named Golf and Tennis are not counted as Mario games by Nintendo.
  • Family Computer Golf: Japan Course and Family Computer Golf: U.S. Course were only released in Japan.
  • Ironically, despite having courses based in Australia, NES Open Tournament Golf did not release in Australia.
  • Mario's Tennis and Mario Super Sluggers were only released in Japan and North America.
  • Mario's Tennis is currently the worst-selling Mario game of all time.
  • Sega published the first three Mario & Sonic sets of games outside of Japan, while Nintendo published them in Japan. For the fourth and fifth installments, Nintendo published them worldwide, and for the sixth installment, Sega published it worldwide.
