Trends of Mario games sales in Japan 2D vs 3D tend to show they have a preference for 2D Marios
| Game | Japan | America | Others |
| Super Mario Bros 3 | 3.84 | 9.69 | 3.75 |
| Super Mario World | 3.55 | 12.97 | 4.09 |
| Yoshi's Island | 1.77 | 1.68 | 0.67 |
| Super Mario 64 | 1.92 | 6.87 | 3.1 |
| Super Mario Sunshine | 0.87 | 4.03 | 1.38 |
| New Super Mario Bros | 5.67 | 6.88 | 6.30 |
| Super Mario Galaxy | 1.04 | 4.15 | 2.79 |
You can see that Yoshi's Island sold very close to Mario 64 in Japan. Also for all 3D Marios, Japan accounts for around 15% of the WW sales but for Yoshi's Island and NSMB they represent 43% and 30% respectively.
Signature goes here!
