I was expecting at least as much as New Super Mario Bros DS and the Wii one considering the massive install base and how many Nintendo series have broken records on the Switch. It did have the biggest launch for a Mario game ever but only slightly over 2m since the end of March doesn't strike me as enough to get to 30m since sales for it should be lower this year than in 2024. It just seems to me that 2D Mario has underperformed on the Switch when compared to how most other big series have performed so the popularity of 2D Mario was significantly higher 15 years ago from what I can see with 3D Mario heavily increasing in popularity since then at the same time.

Simply more competition from other Mario platformers. I believe the DS had 2, the Switch has 4 (5 if Mario Maker2 is included).

8 actually.

3D All Stars with 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy 1.

Even if the release was limited, it still counts.
