The game was initially released exclusively on {{wp|iOS}} in 150 territories<!-- The game was available in exactly 150 countries at launch, as the three additional countries supported by Nintendo Account in December 2016 – Aruba, Rwanda, and Zambia – were originally listed for Miitomo support, and do not have official access to the iOS App Store. These countries eventually later received Super Mario Run exclusively via Android. --> on December 15, 2016, released in South Korea on February 1, 2017, and released on {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}} devices, as well as 14 additional territories, on March 22, 2017. However, circa 2020, the game was delisted in Vietnam for undisclosed reasons. ''Super Mario Run'' was the most widely available Nintendo-related mobile game—available in every territory where Google Play and/or the iOS App Store were also officially available in March 2017, except for Algeria, China (iOS only), Georgia (Android only), Iceland, Kenya, and Myanmar (Android only)—until November 2, 2021, when ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin Bloom|Pikmin Bloom]]'' became officially available in 180 markets. ''Super Mario Run'' is also the first ''Super Mario'' game to be officially localized to Portuguese for Brazil.

==Gameplay==

===Game modes===

====World Tour====

In every level, five [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]]s may be found among regular coins and within Brick Blocks. If all five Pink Coins are collected in a single run, [[Purple Coin]]s are unlocked within the level, which function identically to Pink Coins, but are put in more challenging locations. If all five Purple Coins coins are again collected, [[Black Coin]]s are added to the level, with different locations to the previous 2 sets of [[color coin]]s. Levels might have slight modifications made to them depending on which color of coins are available to collect. If the player collects all of the Pink, Purple, or Black Coins within each of the first 24 levels, they will unlock a corresponding colored pipe for Kingdom Builder mode, allowing them to access 1 of 3 bonus levels. In addition, if all of the Black Coins are collected in each of the 9 levels in World Star, the Gold Star Pipe will be unlocked, allowing access to a [[Red Block Run|fourth special level]].

In the version 2.0.0 update, an Easy Mode was added, giving an infinite amount of bubbles and time. However, after finishing a level, the player does not keep any [[Coin]]s collected and the personal high coin count is not recorded. The [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run|24th level]], special levels and World Star levels cannot be played on Easy Mode.

==Reception==

Michael McWhertor of Polygon gave ''Super Mario Run'' a 7 out of 10 in his review.<ref>McWhertor, Michael. (December 15, 2016). [http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/15/13976400/super-mario-run-review-ios-iphone-ipad-android-nintendo-mobile Super Mario Run review]. ''Polygon''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref> He has praised the game for its mechanics being translated well into taps for a touchscreen, but laments how it has been compromised by the lack of power-ups and precise control the series is known for. The review has described Kingdom Builder as a "lengthy grind in service of unlocking mostly cosmetic items." In his final verdict, he has described the game as "an enjoyable but imperfect adaptation of the Mario games for touchscreen devices." Jose Otero of IGN has given ''Super Mario Run'' an 8 out of 10,<ref>Otero, Jose. (December 15, 2016). [http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/12/15/super-mario-run-review Super Mario Run Review.] ''IGN''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref>, praising the game for its strong level designs and new mechanics though also citing three-hit boss fights with Boom Boom and Bowser as "relics from Nintendo's past" and states that "they're not as smart or clever as the rest of the campaign stages." He has also cited that the visuals are not impressive, especially compared to another mobile auto-runner platformer, ''{{wp|Rayman Jungle Run}}'', but has praised Mario's animations within the game. His final statement stated that ''Super Mario Run'' is an elegantly designed platformer with strong hooks despite not being the best-looking ''Super Mario'' game by a longshot.

|Release

|align="left"|"''Super Mario Run is thankfully miles away from being the simplified disaster that many nay-sayers had feared; in fact, what's striking about this mobile release is how similar it is to traditional Mario titles in terms of gameplay and challenge. Despite having limited control over Mario there's still a strong focus on skill, especially if you want to grab all of those pink, purple and black coins. The brevity of the experience is an issue however – an average player should be able to finish an initial no-frills World Tour run in around an hour – and as a result Super Mario Run's social element becomes its long-term focus. Challenging pals via the elegant in-game friends system is addictive, and the Toad Rally mode – which underpins the kingdom-building meta game – is sure to soak up plenty of play time.''"

*''[[Mario Party 10]]'': Toadette's artwork is taken from this game.

*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': The Airship tileset is taken from this game. The axes at the end of a castle levels function the same as the axe from this game, rather than a button in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. The [[Key]] design is also taken from this game. Many objects use their appearance from the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style.

==References in later games==

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'': Some of Toadette's animations, such as her "Course Cleared" animation, are reused in this game.

*''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'': Event tokens resemble [[Bonus Medal]]s in this game, emitting the same sound effect when collected.
