Super Mario Run Game Review

Super Mario Run is side-scrolling platform game. The game is developed by Nintendo and released for iOS in December 2016 and for Android in March 2017.

The game has all the elements of the old-school Mario games. Princess Peach is kidnapped again by Bowser and it’s up to you, Mario, to rescue her. You run through the levels from left to right, avoiding obstacles and collecting coins, doing this all before the timer runs out.

As the player of the game you only need to be tapping the screen as Mario runs automatically from left to right. Short taps makes Mario jump and longer taps will make him jump a bit higher. Playing the game is as easy as it gets. And if you mess up and hit an obstacles there is no need to worry as the game has unlimited retries.

Super Mario Run has four game modes: World Tour, Toad Rally, Remix 10, and Kingdom Builder. While you can download the game for free, you need to pay to unlock all four modes.

Super Mario Run is a simple yet addictive game. It has nice graphics and smooth gameplay. The visuals and sounds will definitely remind you of the old Mario games.
