Super Mario Run, Nintendo’s anticipated first-ever mobile game featuring Mario, will go on sale for iPhone and iPad on Dec. 15. The app can be downloaded from the App Store at no cost, and players can try elements of the game’s three modes for free.
Once the game has been downloaded, a one-time payment will grant unlimited access to each of the three modes in this release. Super Mario Run is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch deviced running iOS 8.0 or later. The game will launch in 151 countries and regions and will support multiple languages.
Super Mario Run is the first Super Mario Bros. game developed specifically for mobile devices. In the game, Mario runs forward on his own, but relies on the tap of a single finger to jump over obstacles, avoid enemies, pull of stylish moves, collect coins, and reach the flagpole to complete courses.
