Nintendo 3DS titles that had red box releases
Nintendo released several 3DS titles with a red box. I looked at Mario Kart today and I noticed there is a different code on the back directly above the barcode of the 2 releases.
Mario Kart 7
White box-75611A
Red box-75611C
Are those some kind of product codes?
What all titles did get a Red Box release and are any of the red box releases the first prints?

I guess only Mario titles came with both white and red boxes. One theory I read somewhere is that the red boxes would stand out on store shelves. Or maybe they were bundled with consoles. Several Wii U Mario games also have red cases.
Umm... Both those codes look the same to me.

Sorry, I copied the wrong code on the Red box. I updated the post. I’ll try to take a picture later if I get a chance.
Yes, I also have some of the red Wii U cases so would be interesting to know which of those had a regular blue case as well. IIRC, the Wii U had some red cases releases that were actually the first print, but not sure which ones now (believe MK8 was red case for the first print). Also the Luigi has a green case but it only released in green and had a somewhat limited release (for a first party game anyway).
I had a red New Super Mario Bros. 2 red go through my hands as well
Superstar Saga is a red box and I believe first print
I had a red New Super Mario Bros. 2 red go through my hands as well
Thanks!
my NSMB2 is a red case. I’ll list the ones I currently have that are in a red case.
Mario Luigi Paper Jam
Mario Party Island Tour
NSMB2
MK7
Not certain if any are first prints, but I believe NSMB2 and Mario Luigi Paper Jam are. Again though, I’m not certain.
Edit: no idea if it means anything, but all of my red cases other than MK7 has a code above the barcode that ends on “A”. Could be a coincidence but would be nice to know if that is some type of internal product code Nintendo uses.
mario kart 7 definitely is.
i think the rpg ones came originally in red.
my nsmb2 was bought brand new. First print was not red.
on wii u i know mario kart 8 and mario maker were red.
Red cases for the most part were second.

I have a better handle on Wii U, but it is good to document it and have others confirm what I believe is correct. I bought most of the big Wii U releases on launch. Based on others information in here and checking my Wii U collection it should be as follows:
Wii U Red First Print Releases:
Mario Kart 8
Mario Maker
Wii U Red Cases on reprints:
Mario 3D World (has a couple variants)
NOTE: New Super Luigi U stand alone release was a green case release on first and all print runs.
On the red 3DS cases that were second print I’d be interested to know if there are different codes on them like on MK7.
Here is what I believe we have determined thus far:
3DS First Prints with Red Cases:
Mario Luigi Paper Jam
Mario Luigi Bowsers Inside Story
Mario Luigi Superstar Saga
3DS Reprints with red cases:
Mario Kart 7
NSMB2
Unconfirmed?????
Mario Party Island Tour
???????
Anyone know about Mario Party Island Tour and any others I’m missing above?
Mario Party Top 100 for 3DS seems to be red case only. Although it does look like the Middle East version (NA region-wise) may have had a white case release.
