Super Mario Maker 2 is maintaining its grip on the number one spot in the UK video games sales chart as it holds off opposition from titles like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and Grand Theft Auto V. 

Super Mario Maker 2 debuted at the number one spot in the UK when it was first released and has managed to maintain its position leading into the second week of sales. According to GameIndustry.bizSuper Mario Maker 2 has dropped 47% in sales but has still managed to hold on to its position.

The rest of the chart looks mostly identical to last week's chart, with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and F1 2019 maintaining the second and third spots. The rest of the chart is made up of older games, with Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Grand Theft Auto V, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption II, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Mortal Kombat 11 making up the remainder of the list.

Two games that have been pushed out of the list are Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Judgement, though the former is expected to see several updates in the coming month in order to help improve its performance on different systems. As such, it may return to the charts in the future.

Super Mario Maker 2 was met with positive reception upon release due to the sheer scope of the content on display, as well as the new additions that weren't present in the original game. Super Mario Maker 2 has also come under fire for a subpar multiplayer mode and the loss of some beloved features from the first game, like the Costume Mario powerup, but these issues could potentially be addressed in future updates.

It's unlikely that Super Mario Maker 2 will hold on to its position for long, as some big games are due to be released in July, including Dragon Quest Builders 2, God Eater 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. The temporary summer drought has made Mario the king in the UK, but his reign won't last for long.

Super Mario Maker 2 is available now for Nintendo Switch.
