Super Mario Run

Super Mario Run is an upcoming automatic runner platformer game for mobile devices, announced during September 2016. In the game, Mario is constantly moving to the right and the player can make him jump by tapping the screen. The game will feature four modes: premade courses, creating courses, playing other user-created courses, and a battle mode where players can race against another player's time called "Toad Rally". In order to create courses, coins need to be collected from the other modes. Nintendo are marketing the game as the first Super Mario title that can be played with one hand.

The game will be released in 150 countries worldwide on December 15, 2016. Super Mario Run will be free-to-start, with the full game costing $9.99. It will be the second mobile game developed and published by Nintendo (following Miitomo), and the first Mario mobile game. The game will be released exclusively for iOS devices at launch, and will release for Android later.

Gameplay
Throughout each level, Mario will constantly run to the right without stopping, except when on Pause Blocks, and will jump if the player taps the screen. Mario will automatically grab ledges if he can reach them and will also jump over short obstacles on his own, including Goombas. If the player taps the screen while Mario is over an enemy, he will bounce off of it. If the player taps while Mario is on a wall, he will Wall Jump.

In Toad Rally mode, the player can compete with other players from around the world. The main objective is to collect as many coins in a stage as possible. As Mario collects coins, a blue meter will gradually fill up. Once it is full, the player can use a mechanic known as "Coin Rush", which will allow Mario to run into enemies to defeat them and earn more coins. The player can also attract Toads by performing certain moves, which also increase the player's score.
