✨ AI Insight

Super Mario World tops the SNES at 20.61 million copies, more than twice the second-place Super Mario All-Stars at 10.55 million, a gap widened by Super Mario World being bundled with many consoles. Nintendo's own franchises dominate the list, with Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Yoshi's Island all featuring. Capcom's fighting series provides the main third-party presence, placing both Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and Street Fighter II Turbo in the top ten. Below the leader the figures fall steadily from 10.55 million to 4 million, showing a healthy spread of hits rather than reliance on a single title.
