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 is 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.

On December 8th, 2016, a demo of Super Mario Run was made available at Apple Stores worldwide.

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. The game will feature 24 levels (consisting of 6 worlds containing 4 levels each), of which Worlds 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and a portion of 1-4 will be free.

The game features three game modes: World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder. World Tour is the single-player mode; in Toad Rally, the player can compete with other players from around the world; and in the Kingdom Builder mode, players will be able to build their own kingdom. 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.

App Store description
A new kind of Mario game that you can play with one hand. In this game, Mario constantly moves forward through the courses while you use a variety of jumps to navigate. Mario will behave differently depending on the timing of your taps, so it's up to you to show off particularly smooth moves, gather coins, and reach the goal.

■World Tour Run and jump with style to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches!

Travel through plains, caverns, haunted houses, airships, castles, and more...

Clear 6 worlds filled with 24 brand-new courses designed for one-handed play!

■Toad Rally Show off Mario’s stylish moves, compete against your friends and challenge people from all over the world.

A challenge mode where the competition differs each time you play.

Compete against the stylish moves of other players for the highest score as you gather coins and get cheered on by a crowd of Toads. If you’re impressive enough, the Toads may even come live in your kingdom.

You can also perform stylish moves to fill up your gauge and launch into Coin Rush!

* In order to play Toad Rally, you will need Rally Tickets that you can acquire in a variety of ways, such as clearing worlds or through bonus games in your kingdom.

■Kingdom Builder Gather coins and Toads to build your very own kingdom.

Create your unique kingdom with buildings and decorations that you acquire with the help of Toads gathered in Toad Rally.
