Super Mario Run – Action Game Review
Super Mario Run is a Action/Casual game from Nintendo Co., Ltd., first launched in 7th September 2016.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 76,065+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Super Mario Run Stand Out
A new kind of Mario game that you can play with one hand.
You control Mario by tapping as he constantly runs forward. You time your taps to pull off stylish jumps, midair spins, and wall jumps to gather coins and reach the goal!
Super Mario Run can be downloaded for free and after you purchase the game, you will be able to play all the modes with no additional payment required. You can try out all four modes before purchase: World Tour, Toad Rally, Remix 10, and Kingdom Builder.
■World Tour
Run and jump with style to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches!
Travel through plains, caverns, ghost houses, airships, castles, and more.
Clear the 24 exciting courses to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, waiting in his castle at the end. There are many ways to enjoy the courses, such as collecting the 3 different types of colored coins or by competing for the highest score against your friends. You can try courses 1-1 to 1-4 for free.
After rescuing Princess Peach, a nine-course special world, World Star, will appear.
■Remix 10
Some of the shortest Super Mario Run courses you'll ever play!
This mode is Super Mario Run in bite-sized bursts! You'll play through 10 short courses one after the other, with the courses changing each time you play. Daisy is lost somewhere in Remix 10, so try to clear as many courses as you can to find her!
■Toad Rally
Show off Mario’s stylish moves, compete against your friends, and challenge people from all over the world.
In this challenge mode, the competition differs each time you play.
Compete against the stylish moves of other players for the highest score as you gather coins and get cheered on by a crowd of Toads. Fill the gauge with stylish moves to enter Coin Rush Mode to get more coins. If you win the rally, the cheering Toads will come live in your kingdom, and your kingdom will grow.
■Kingdom Builder
Gather coins and Toads to build your very own kingdom.
Combine different buildings and decorations to create your own unique kingdom. There are over 100 kinds of items in Kingdom Builder mode. If you get more Toads in Toad Rally, the number of buildings and decorations available will increase. With the help of the friendly Toads you can gradually build up your kingdom.
■What You Can Do After Purchasing All Worlds
・ All courses in World Tour are playable
Why not try out the bigger challenges and thrills available in all courses?
・ Easier to get Rally Tickets
It's easier to get Rally Tickets that are needed to play Remix 10 and Toad Rally. You can collect them in Kingdom Builder through Bonus Game Houses and ? Blocks, by collecting colored coins in World Tour, and more.
・ More playable characters
If you rescue Princess Peach by completing course 6-4 and build homes for Luigi, Yoshi, and Toadette in Kingdom Builder mode, you can get them to join your adventures as playable characters. They play differently than Mario, so why not put their special characteristics to good use in World Tour and Toad Rally?
・ More courses in Toad Rally
The types of courses available in Toad Rally will increase to seven different types of courses, expanding the fun! Along with the new additions, Purple and Yellow Toads may also come to cheer for you.
・ More buildings and decorations in Kingdom Builder
The types of buildings available will increase, so you'll be able to make your kingdom even more lively. You can also place Rainbow Bridges to expand your kingdom.
・ Play Remix 10 without having to wait
You can play Remix 10 continuously, without having to wait between each game.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game but we think there should be a way to get the purchase screen for the free to play players.
We love this game so much without subscribing you can do a lot but we subscribed and paid so we can do pretty much everything in the game but we liveee it merry Christmas to all of you too.
That just means your bad at the game.
Its a good game but please fix it says find an area with better connection but we are at 4 bars so please fix that errror we think the last update ruined the game so please fix that.
Love playing this game. No ads, runs smooth and is so addicting.
Hi we are 10 years old we love Mario and we probably love super Mario run and we love when browsers castle hangout gets free and our other favorite games are super Mario games on Nintendo switch for example Mario kart 8 deluxe so enjoy.
Its so good! Our player ID is 2618-2293-8623 send us a friend request.
If you could add the fire flower that would be awesome! And please add a power stater option thats in super mario bros Wii.
This game is really, really good. Nintendo really put their all into this. No micro transactions, no ads, just 10 dollars for everything. Too bad that its 10 dollars, as it killed the game. We think 5 wouldve been good. Ive seen this game go on sale, so thats probably when most would get it. Also too bad we arent getting more content outside of statues tied to events.
We have been playing this game for 5 years and we loveeeeee it sooooo much but we wish that you didnt have to play to get more courses but we would recommend this 100% haha.
Why do you have toboay JUST TO CONTINUE THE GAME like not EVERYNONE has money and only to be able to olay just 1 WORLD we CRAZY.
No question just play and its addictive we really just want more content though.
This app is spectacular even if you dont pay theres so much you can we paid for it but we wish you didnt have to pay for the full game so if you say oh its 37 stars should yes its worth it.
Like the rendering for some of the buildings and you need to fix the toads faces in the kingdom view and not make them smile all the time but make them do different face expressions.
This game is soooooooo fun and we hope you all enjoy it.
The game is super fun but u need to pay for EVERYTHING! We think there should be more controls and more things to do. We would love to play money free and with more things to do.The game is great butthey need to add and delete some things.
Okay Im not saying much but 4-1 is very hard, we got every coin but it automatically opened the door at the end, yall hurt us.
It wont let us update the game.
We Love This Mobile Nintendo Game For The IOS & Android 10/10 & 5 Stars.
Good bass game on the roof seen in our entire life.
We had this game since we got our new iPad 4 years ago we play every 2 days and we never got bored good job Nintendo.
This game has pretty garbage controls and in toad rallys the opponent is a bot and always has the advantage with daisy they get 3 jumps (to get of the ground, the normal double jump and then an extra jump midair that gives them 100 extra toads and they broken and trying to win 3 times in a row took our entire playtime since restoring our data so about 3 years as the bots just keep taking toads away because losing takes away like 10 toads, only the red ones and then the purple and yellow!!!!!! We dont wanna lose toads so if you want a Nintendo game get ANY console as the GameCube is better lol anyways you should get it it pretty fun (pretend toad rally doesnt exist) so try it and those of you with Nintendo accounts get Mario kart tour as well but without one you are locked out of Mario kart tour and toad being playable in this game.
Absolutely Amazing Game! We love how smooth it feels to play every mode and how charming Mario and Friends manage to be even outside of their usual consoles. Nintendo really has outdone themselves with this game.
Great for passing time anywhere you need, as long as you have a connection.
Its so fun! We love it super good.
This game is great! But more than half of the entire game costs money. We had to pay to play the full game. But Toad Rally is very fun, and we hope the developers create a new mode soon. Like maybe a coin bonus game you can play every 30 min or something like that or a rally ticket collecting mode. That would be amazing. Once again, the game is great.
Soooo mario is a good game but the only issue we have is that you need internet to play. Heres why its an issue: you literally dont play with anyone. Yeah, you might be able to challenge friends you sit next to but when you play the toad rallys youre not battling real people, its all AI or fake players. How we know this is simple, when you lose you can rematch the player and its ALWAYS immediate but if you win, you cant rematch them .. Secondly, when you go to challenge a player once again, the game immediately starts, there is no awaiting player approval so thats our only issue other than that its a great game ig.
We love this game! Ive been playing since it came out and Ive consistently come back to play throughout updates, Basically have maxed out everything, great game! All we ask is that you guys add Rosalina as a playable character! Theres an empty spot in the list and she would be the perfect candidate! Shes probably one of the most popular Nintendo characters and we think she would do numbers for your game! Especially with the new movie coming out. Love the statues, give US smidge more.
So, we played it a lot like last year, and some of this year, pretty good for a mobile game. But lots of payments took it down from 5 stars to 4.5 stars. It was fun while we played it though. Review made in 2025, December 8 at 2:52 PM.
Umm guys when we said we want Rosalina in this game we did not mean adding an event with Rosalina stuff in it! We NEED THE ACCUAL PLAYABLE CHARACTER! We need her sooooooo bad add her.
This game is really fun, however, its just been really easy, so can you make it a little harder for an update?Maybe you could make a new mode like knockout, where you play with the world or something to make it harder?Please and thank you.
We beat the first level and now its tells us if we want to continue we have to buy the thing or connect our nitendo account but we forgot.
We loved this game absolutely could not get away from it buutt also we spent months trying to get toadette AND NOW we FIGURE OUT THAT YOU NEED MORE TOADS UGH TURN THE PRICES OF TOADS DOWN we SPENT FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER TRYING TO GET TOADETTE UGH AND we ONLY HAVE ONE MORE TICKET.
The game is super fun but when we did a toad rally a error occurred. The game wouldnt load and we lost our tickets and a lot of our toads. The game is very fun but the toad rally is really glitched and hard to use.
This game is great but the thing is you have to pay 10 DOLLARS! Im like you think our next door neighbors dad will let buy that like just get Minecraft but the game is awesome and we linked our Nintendo Account and now we can get daily our Nintendo rewards! If you havent already played this this game we recommend you try it and it you like it purchase the full version.
Honestly, this is a really great game but it has some issues. First of all, we looked at the game and decided to get it, but that was until we found out that we had to purchase everything but the worlds 1-1 to 1-4, most of the items for kingdom builder, remix ten and 3 characters including Mario, blue yoshi and daisy who we still dont have. And we cant get any of the special items from the shop especially the star pipe witch we really want.we just dont like how we have to purchase almost everything In the game.
Some parts are good and really fun,(the free stuff),but the rest you need to pay for.Im sure that some people feel the same way.
This game is ok we mean we like Mario but in this game we can only play 1 world and when youve done everything it gets boring but you can listen to music so it went from a 2-3 because of that but other wise we wouldnt recommend.
We love the game, but we have a request. In the music mode, instead we watch tv with the Picture in Picture. We know it turns the game music off, but on remix ten, toad rally, and world tour you can still hear everything. The footsteps, the collecting pink coins and rainbow coins. Please mute it when it turns on multicolored mode, and by mute we mean MUTE. Love the game, and it is fantastic.
To be honest, we dont like that you have to pay for unlocking everything else and you can only get 4 characters and 3 colors of toads, otherwise really fun with the expansion.
This game is really fun, but the wait time to play a Remix 10 is one hour! And they put princess Daisy is at level thirty. Making us wait 5 hours to get to the next level. Other than that we think its a really great game.
Game is cool but we wish it had the choice to actually move freely like in the Super Mario Bros game. We dont really like how it continues to move forward and constantly run when sometimes we want to go back and maybe collect more coins or open more mystery boxes.
We like it but some stuff costs money. Still it's quite fun. Is anyone with us on the money part? Anyone.
Hot boxes on some enemies (like bullet bills) are broken and trigger before the sprites actually overlap. Everything else is alright.
Theres things that you need to pay for.
The game is OK, but we really feel like they should bring back the Dr. Mario game. We never got the chance to play it since it closed down so quickly. We just wish we can have some more good Mario mobile games.
It's not like the Mario we use to play. Player does not have control over Mario. He just moves forward. Not being able to move back and forward has reduced the interest in the game. That option gives the player some form of control. It enhanced engagement. This latest control restriction reduces the intensity and joy.
We cannot play this game for some reason and we never got the chance to play this game,it takes so long for the game to load we never played it so expect a 3.5 rating if it doesnt work for you guys.
This game gets a meh review. While we do like making our kingdom (we call it the Toad Kingdom), but Toad Rally is so rigged. It's super frustrating, takes your tickets, and is often unfair. Either get rid of it or make it more fair, or else you lose one more star. For example, do much better than a random player, but they somehow get more than us. Also, Toad's should leave just because you quit. That's stupid. We can't believe Nintendo made this slop.
We love this game but you should get more free stuff and you.
