Super Mario Run, developed and published by Nintendo Co., Ltd., represents the iconic franchise’s foray into the mobile gaming market. Released in December 2016, this side-scrolling platformer is available on both iOS and Android devices. Unlike traditional Mario games, Super Mario Run is designed to be played with one hand, making it accessible and convenient for on-the-go gaming. The game preserves the classic Mario charm with familiar characters, vibrant graphics, and nostalgic soundtracks, all while incorporating modern gameplay mechanics suited for mobile devices.
In Super Mario Run, players take control of Mario as he embarks on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of Browser. The game features a variety of modes, including World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder, each offering unique challenges and experiences. World Tour is the primary mode, consisting of six worlds with four levels each, where players must navigate through diverse environments, collect coins, and defeat enemies. Toad Rally is a competitive mode where players race against the ghosts of other players, earning Toads to populate their kingdom. Kingdom Builder allows players to use the coins and Toads they’ve collected to customize and expand their own Mushroom Kingdom.
