Intro

Super Mario Run brings the beloved plumber’s adventures to mobile devices, offering an exhilarating side-scrolling runner experience that captures the essence of classic Mario games. Developed by Nintendo, this game invites players to join Mario in a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser, all while jumping, running, and collecting coins through vibrant, challenging levels.

Function

The game features intuitive tap controls, allowing Mario to automatically run forward while players focus on timing jumps to avoid obstacles, defeat enemies, and reach the flagpole at the end of each stage. It includes three gameplay modes: World Tour, where players progress through levels; Toad Rally, for competitive play against friends and global players; and Kingdom Builder, where collected coins can be used to build and customize your own Mushroom Kingdom.

User experience

Super Mario Run offers a seamless and immersive gaming experience tailored for mobile platforms. Its colorful graphics and iconic sound effects resonate with nostalgia, while introducing fresh gameplay mechanics that keep it engaging for both casual gamers and Mario enthusiasts. The game's gradual difficulty increase ensures continuous challenge without overwhelming new players.

Advantage

One of Super Mario Run’s key advantages lies in its accessibility, appealing to a wide audience with its simple yet deep gameplay mechanics. Its offline capability enables play without an internet connection, a rarity among mobile games. The game also boasts frequent updates, adding new levels and events to keep players engaged over time. Integration with social media platforms encourages friendly competition and sharing achievements.

Shortcoming

Despite its many strengths, Super Mario Run has faced criticism for its relatively high upfront cost compared to other mobile games that often adopt a free-to-play model with in-app purchases. Additionally, the always-online requirement for some features may be inconvenient for players seeking to enjoy the game in areas without stable connectivity. Some users have also noted that the reliance on repetitive level play to gather resources for Kingdom Builder can become tedious over time.

It has very easy and comfortable controls. The difficulty comes from the level design and collecting the special coins. It's nice to play mindlessly when waiting around or something. Also, a single purchase and you get the entire game. I just wish Nintendo continued this monetisation practice with their other mobile games. Very much worth the purchase. I just wish it wasn't online only because it can be slow to start up and navigate the menus.

Whether you are new to Super Mario games or not, Nintendo came up with a great way to play Mario on a touch screen, no D-pad needed! The single player Tour Mode, the randomly generated Remix 10 mode, and the highly competitive Toad Rally mode add plenty of replay value. This is one of my favorite mobile games ever, and well worth purchasing, especially when it goes on sale. As of today the glitches that broke Toad Rally has been fixed, and I've updated my score to 5 Stars.

Best idea for an old school gamer to enjoy Mario how we originally would play! ( pretty much lol) the graphics are clearer than on my UHD TV ( Galaxy s20 ultra) and the game play is original aF! I keep catching myself pressing down harder on my phone screen to jump higher and farther even tho I know I cant- let's hope the screen hold up as good as those 8bit originals do- I won't be flipping my phone over and blowing in the charging port to clean the game I hope, lol.. 100% awesome android1up!

I want to tell anyone just entering here that since this game came out, it wasn't made to be a "Free to Play" game, but a premium game with a "Free to Try (i.e. DEMO)" model. And that hasn't changed since. Do understand that the criticisms only focused on this point should be taken with a grain of salt, and not be weighted on your decision to jump into this title. That said, it is quite brilliant to combine usual SMB formula with the endless runner model, and it is well executed! I recommend it!

I love this game, I love how easy it is to play as Mario permanently runs so it's one control I don't need to worry about. I love have rally's are only 60 sec so if I just want a quick break I can do one of those, or I can do the remix or tour if I want to play longer. I've gained all 5 rainbow bridges and I love decorating my little lands, I just wish I could collect more rainbow bridges to expand my lands in to different themes. Lovely game though

Mario on a phone. What could go wrong!? Now, if I asked you before 2016, you would say, A LOT. If I asked you After 2016, you would say the same thing, and I would NOT agree. Some people complained about the So-called "Steep Price" in quotes. It's not as steep as say, 700 dollars for literal wheels. There's a LOT to do actually, as long as you have a internet connection, because this is not offline. The builder is a good decision too. Overall, nice job, Nintendo. Hope you make a better sequel!!!

It has been literally 7 years since this game came out today! It's such a an awesome game to play on mobile devices. You can't compare it to the Super Mario game on the Nintendo Switch or on other Nintendo consoles, but it's worth the moment and money to invest into something that will be enjoyable to you. I feel like everyone should give it a chance, to see if you like the game or not. I've always been into Nintendo and Mario games, so... of course this game for me is a must have!

One of the best Nintendo yet best running arcade mobile games in this platform! Ever since the release, fans and people loved this game and yet they never disappoint us with their continues updates and it's storyline in the game. I would love to suggest to add more in depth storyline and more characters!

This game is a side scrolling runner. It does have the platform design and includes many elements of the Super Mario series. The controls are easy and, in my experience, precise enough to make Mario do what you need him to do. It does take some practice like any platformer does. The graphics easily compete with what the Switch and 3DS are capable of. Mario moves smoothly across the course, and I have not seen any sprite glitches so far.

I love this game so much. At its core, Super Mario Run is an automatic runner that utilizes simple touch controls to perform all kinds of actions. You can extend the duration of Mario's jump, delay his fall mid-air, or somersault off of baddies to reach high places. Like any solid game, these smooth moves are easy to pull off but difficult to completely master, and there's plenty of open screen space towards the bottom, so my fingers were never obstructing my view.
