The Red Bonus Game House is one of the three Bonus Game Houses in Super Mario Run. It has a light yellow cap with red stars, similar to the Yellow Toad Houses in prior Super Mario series games except in the star color. It takes up a 1 x 1 space. Toads are never seen standing next to or interacting with this Toad House.
The Red Bonus Game House must be purchased from the shop and placed in the kingdom as part of the game's tutorial, which makes it the first building the player acquires. This occurs after the player completes their first Toad Rally. The Red Bonus Game House costs 0 coins. As a limited item, only one Red Bonus Game House can be obtained. As a special building, the Red Bonus Game House has no rank. It is the only Bonus Game House players that do not purchase the full game can acquire.
Tapping on the Red Bonus Game House allows the player to start a bonus game. This bonus game takes place within the house, using the Ghost House background. "Toad House Minigame" plays during it. Small Mario (the player cannot use other characters in bonus games) has 90 seconds to navigate three rooms of the house. This is a course-like environment, save that the screen scrolls horizontally instead of wrapping horizontally like normal Ghost House courses. The first room contains a Pause Block before a branch with two doors: one at a lower level and one at a higher level on a bridge. Arrow Signs point toward the paths as they split from the Pause Block. Entering either door takes the player to the second room. The second room is divided in half by a bridge spanning its length. The lower door from the first room leads to the area below the bridge and the higher door leads to the area above the bridge. A 6 by 10 rectangle of coins is randomly either above or below the bridge. After the coins, two more bridges appear: one below the longer bridge and one above the higher bridge. There are two Arrow Signs for each of the new bridges, on pointing above the bridge and one pointing below the bridge. The bridges divide the room into four sections, each of which has a door at the end. Since bridges are semisolid platforms, if Mario started in the lower half of the room he can enter any of the doors, but if Mario started in the upper half of the room he can only enter one of the two uppermost doors. All four doors lead into the third room, which is divided into four sections by solid terrain. Each door leads to the section matching its height. The sections have a random number of coins: Two sections have one coin, one section has a 2 by 10 rectangle of coins, and another section has a 3 by 10 rectangle of coins. Each section ends with an Arrow Sign pointing to a treasure chest. If the player touches any of the treasure chests, Mario stops moving forward and all of the treasure chests open up. Each one contains a number of Rally Tickets decided randomly. Three of the chests have one Rally Ticket, and the last has three Rally Tickets. (In older versions of the game, two treasure chests contained one Rally Ticket and the other two were empty.) The player only receives the Rally Tickets of the treasure chest they walked into. The game ends soon after the treasure chests open. If the 90 seconds of the bonus game elapse and the player has not reached a treasure chest, the game ends immediately. However, since Mario moves automatically, this cannot happen unless the player deliberately stalls progression by wall-jumping off of the walls next to the doors.
After playing the bonus game, the Red Bonus Game House shrinks to a tiny size and closes for four hours. During this time, the bonus game cannot be played, but the player can tap the Red Bonus Game House to see how much time remains before it returns to normal and reopens.
