Mario, already a hit

As you probably know, the Italian plumber Mario is a video game character before he is an actor. He appears in a number of video games, including Mario Kart 8. Why are we talking about this video game? Because it can be sold for a cool $4,000.

Mario Kart 8 sold for $4,000

Remember the Wii U? Nintendo's console is certainly the most mocked machine in the history of video games. Yet the Wii U offered some great experiences, like Xenoblade Chronicles X. In 2021, a new game was even released on the machine. Of course, the console also hosts several Mario games, including Mario Kart 8 in May 2014.

We're all familiar with the 'deluxe' version of the game released on Switch, but that edition was already excellent. In very good condition, the limited edition of Mario Kart 8 can fetch you a whopping $4,000 as evidenced by a December 2020 sale spotted on Price Charting.

In September, an auction for the game went for $2,900. Players who still own Mario Kart 8 on Wii U can rejoice, they didn't keep their console and their games for nothing. Remember that your copy must be in perfect condition to be sold at this price.
