A console favorite for more than 30 years, Nintendo’s mustachioed mascot, Mario, finally took the plunge(r) and headed to iPhone and iPad in 2016’s Super Mario Run. And like Mario, the game hasn’t stopped moving. Here are a few reasons to run back to the plumber’s wonderful world:
It’s loaded with modes
‣ The game’s main Tour takes you on a whistle-stop journey through the Mushroom Kingdom—from the famous caves and castles to the clouds above. Once your skills are up to snuff, race online against the clock in the Toad Rally.
Have only a few minutes? Try Remix 10 mode’s randomized assortment of miniature courses, which you’ll speed through in seconds. They offer great, hectic fun—and some awesome rewards.
It’s a builder
‣ Play well to unlock new decorations, statues, and buildings. Transform a simple plot of land into a flourishing realm, block by block. Run out of space? Just purchase a rainbow bridge to expand your domain. Tons of new parts have been added since launch. Let your inner designer shine!
It’s got character
‣ Meet certain milestones to unlock playable versions of Mario pals Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, and Princess Peach. Each has a unique ability: Yoshi is immune to spike damage, while Toad runs a bit quicker. Complete Remix 10 mode to unlock Princess Daisy, who reaches new heights with her invaluable double jump.
