Nintendo has revealed "Super Mario Run" as their game for the iOS. The Android version of the mobile game will be launched on a later time.
According to the official website of the mobile game, it is scheduled for release in December. It will be compatible for the iPhone and iPad devices, and it can be downloaded for free. Some of its other contents will be available for free, but the additional content will be available for purchase.
The game will be launched in 100 different countries. It will also come with nine different languages for the convenience of their customers all over the world.
The protagonist Mario will constantly move forward through the courses in the game. He will use a variety of jumps to navigate through it. He will also behave differently depending on the timing of the players' taps.
Players will have to use different taps to create different movements. If they can create certain taps, they can make smooth moves, gather coins, and reach the goal without any problems.
The mobile game will have three different game modes for players to try out. The first mode will feature challenging courses for them to complete while collecting coins. The second mode is a challenge mode that compares the play data of other players.
Players will be able to create their own Mushroom Kingdom in the third mode. They can use the coins and Toads that they have collected by playing the first two game modes.
The mobile game was demoed on stage during its historical debut at an Apple event recently. "Super Mario Bros." franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto introduced the mobile game to the audience. He was also joined by director Hideki Konno, who is also famous for being a legend of game design.
Miyamoto told Time in an interview after the event that the development team behind the mobile game is actually mostly comprised of the original ones from the "Super Mario" franchise. He revealed that he is the producer and Takashi Tezuka is the developer. He also explained that Tezuka is a part of the original crew of Nintendo employees since the original Nintendo Entertainment System was developed.
Nintendo told Kotaku in an interview that the mobile game will be released on Android devices. They will be releasing it at some point in the future.
