A sealed copy of Nintendo’s “Super Mario Bros. 3” has become the most expensive video game ever sold, going for a whopping $156,000 at auction recently.
The sale, handled by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions, broke the previous record of the original “Super Mario Bros.,” which sold for $114,000 earlier this year.
The copy of the famous Nintendo game, which has a grade of Wata 9.2 A+, saw an initial bid of $62,000, but 20 different bidders started raising the price on the one-of-a-kind game.
Heritage sold another version of Super Mario Bros. 3, graded Wata 9.0 A, for $38,400 in July.
