As one of the only Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles that isn’t a port or a remaster, the new Mario game is all anyone in gaming can talk about right now.

Everyone loves kart racing games, so it’s no surprise that over six years, the CTR remaster is the second-biggest-selling Crash Bandicoot game of all time, with the first being Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which reached 20 million sales in 2024.
