Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto said in a statement that he is delighted that he was able to deliver a new Mario video game to many people in the whole world. He hopes that more people feel the charm of the game franchise, and through this mobile game that can be played with one hand, it will be easier for them to play.
In its official website, the App Store said the mobile game is currently available for the iOS through it in 150 countries and regions. Fans and interested players can download the free version of the video game, which allows them to play three modes for free. They can gain unlimited access to each of the three modes after they have paid a one-time fee of $9.99.
In this mobile game, Mario will constantly move forward through the courses while players use different styles of jumps to navigate. The main character will move differently depending on the timing of the taps, which is up to them to show off some particularly smooth moves, get coins, and reach the goal at the end.
There are three modes to try out in "Super Mario Run," which are World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder. World Tour is the usual mode where Mario runs and jumps throughout a course to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser.
The Toad Rally is a challenge type of mode where players challenge each other from all over the world. For the Kingdom Builder, they have to gather coins and Toads to build their own kingdom. They can make their own buildings and decorations that they can get with the help of Toads gathered in Toad Rally.
