Super Mario Maker has reached the 1 million benchmark in worldwide sales. Nintendo provides us with a few extra statistics: over 2.2 million levels have been uploaded to the game’s online infrastructure, and those courses have been played by fans around 75 million times.
Overall sales for the Super Mario series add up to over 310 million units sold, making it the best-selling video game franchise of all time, not counting the entire Mario cannon.
Considering the Wii U’s continuously dwindling sales, Super Mario Maker’s 1 million is quite a feat.

So basically everyone owning the game has uploaded an average of 2 levels. Seems people enjoy playing more than they do making, which was my idea in the first place. *pushes up skepticism glasses*
MikeThePoet Actually, I’m impressed that the average is so high. Just consider all the weird people who have probably purchased the game and not even touched it yet. All the creators have to make up for them AND the people who aren’t uploading a lot. Also, I’ve created more than twice the number of levels I’ve actually uploaded, and I never expected the enjoy the creation aspect much.
