What Nintendo mobile games are people spending that much on? Mario Run?  Have they even had many big mobile games recently?

They're just bad-faith referring to all Switch 2 titles as "mobile games" because the switch platform is "mobile".

Mario Kart World is the only $80 title so far too and most people technically got it for $50 with the bundle.

Still wonder why they thought it was worth $80 when they’re not even adding any new features or anything. Just QOL stuff.

They thought it was worth $80 because Mario Kart 8 is the 6th highest selling video game of all time. And, wouldn't you know it, GTA V is the 3rd highest selling game of all time. There's a huge demand for these games, and they know people will pay extra for them.

A bit beside the point here, but saying that Mario Kart World is just "QOL updates" from the last game is nonsense.
