Description

Super Mario Run introduces a unique approach to the classic Mario experience, designed to be played using just one hand. Players guide Mario as he automatically runs forward, requiring precise taps to execute stylish jumps, spins in midair, and wall jumps. These actions allow Mario to collect coins, navigate obstacles, and progress toward the goal. The game is available for free download, and purchasing it unlocks all modes completely, with no additional payments needed. Before making a purchase, players can explore all three primary modes: World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder.

World Tour

In World Tour, players control Mario as he runs through diverse environments to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The journey spans plains, caves, ghost houses, airships, and castles. The full adventure consists of 24 courses spread across six different worlds. Players can engage with the courses in multiple ways, including collecting three types of colored coins or striving for the highest score while competing against friends. The first four courses (1-1 to 1-4) are available for free trial, providing a glimpse into the challenges ahead.

Toad Rally

Toad Rally is a competitive mode that emphasizes Mario’s stylish moves and offers dynamic challenges against both friends and players worldwide. Each session provides a new competition, requiring players to gather coins efficiently while performing stylish maneuvers. Successful stylish actions fill a gauge, unlocking Coin Rush Mode for additional coin collection. Victories in Toad Rally bring Toads to your kingdom, contributing to its growth and expansion. This mode focuses on skill, strategy, and timing, making every rally a unique experience.

Kingdom Builder

Kingdom Builder allows players to use coins and Toads collected from other modes to create and customize their own kingdom. There are over 100 types of buildings and decorations available to design a personalized environment. The kingdom expands as more Toads arrive from Toad Rally, enabling access to additional structures and decorative options. Players gradually develop a thriving kingdom with the support of friendly Toads, combining strategic placement with creative design to enhance gameplay.
