There were increases for other games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (up 7 percent), Super Mario 3D All-Stars (up 36 percent), and even Super Mario Odyssey (up 5 percent). Animal Crossing: New Horizons also increased significantly, rising from #7 to #3 thanks to a 40 percent sales boost.

In other news, Bravely Default II decreased from #11 to #33 with a 74 percent drop. Persona 5 Strikers is no longer in the boxed charts.
