It is the second mobile application developed and published by Nintendo (following ''{{iw|miiwiki|Miitomo}}'') and the first mobile game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

The game was initially released exclusively on {{wp|iOS}} in 150 territories<!-- The game was available in exactly 150 countries at launch, as the three additional countries supported by Nintendo Account in December 2016 – Aruba, Rwanda, and Zambia – were originally listed for Miitomo support, and do not have official access to the iOS App Store.

However, circa 2020, the game was delisted in Vietnam for undisclosed reasons. ''Super Mario Run'' was the most widely available Nintendo-related mobile game—available in every territory where Google Play and/or the iOS App Store was/were also officially available in March 2017, except for Algeria, China (iOS only), Georgia (Android only), Iceland, Kenya, and Myanmar (Android only)—until November 2, 2021, when ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin Bloom|Pikmin Bloom]]'' became officially available in 180 markets. ''Super Mario Run'' is also the first ''Super Mario'' game to be officially localized to Portuguese for Brazil.

''Super Mario Run'' is free-to-start, with the first four courses of World Tour and Toad Rally available to play, as well as the time-restricted play of Remix 10. The full game costs USD$9.99 (the price slightly varies in some countries), with a limited-time 50% discount of USD$4.99 from September 29, 2017 to October 12, 2017 (to coincide with the version 3.0.4 release), from March 10, 2018 to March 26, 2018 (celebrating [[Mario Day]]), and from March 10, 2023 to May 31, 2023 (to promote the release for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''). A demo of ''Super Mario Run'' was made available at Apple Store outlets worldwide starting December 8, 2016.<ref>Cipriani, Jason (December 8, 2016).

Retrieved December 8, 2016.</ref> Only World Tour is playable in the demo, with the same courses available as the trial version, although [[Bowser's Castle Hangout]] has only a 20-second timer.

''Super Mario Run'' is one of a few Nintendo apps with heavy [[My Nintendo]] integration. Missions in the game can reward ''Super Mario Run'' Platinum Points, which can be spent on various My Nintendo rewards. A set of rewards is specific to ''Super Mario Run''.

==Gameplay==
''This section concerns the gameplay found in ''Super Mario Run''{{'}}s three side-scrolling platforming modes. For information on Kingdom Builder, see [[Super Mario Run#Kingdom Builder|Kingdom Builder]].''
[[File:SMR Shot - World 1 Gameplay.png|thumb|Mario in the first stage of the game, [[Up and Over]].]]
In ''Super Mario Run'', Mario (or one of the other 10 playable characters) runs to the right across courses full of items to collect and enemies to dodge or fight against. There are three different modes with this premise, each with a different goal. However, the goal of all of them can generally be summarized as "go as far to the right as possible while collecting [[coin]]s". The player moves forward automatically, with the main decision point being when and how to jump.

If the player taps on the screen, they jump into the air. This can be used to get over hazards like [[pit]]s and [[lava]], reach coins, and avoid enemies. As a ''Super Mario'' game, the jump is a very flexible move. By quickly tapping the screen, the player can do a very low jump. By holding the screen, the player will jump higher. As a general rule, coins are placed such that following them forms an optimal path through a course. Using both high and low jumps as needed makes following the coins easier. If the player lands on a normal enemy, the enemy is defeated, and grants the player coins. If the player can defeat multiple enemies in a row, each enemy will grant more coins than the last one.

Courses can have one of seven environments. They can take place on the ground, below the ground, in the sky, through a desert, up a [[Tower]], through a scary [[Ghost House]], on an [[Airship]], inside a [[Castle]], or in a forest. Environments sometimes have additional rules attached, like the lava present in a Castle. For the most part though, an environment indicates the theme of the course and implies which enemies and obstacles are likely to appear in it.

[[Block]]s frequently appear in ''Super Mario Run''. These portions of the terrain can have special properties. [[Pause Block]]s are common blocks that keep the player from moving after they stand on them. A tap releases this hold, so a Pause Block can be used to pick the correct time to continue into the course. If the player jumps into some blocks from below, such as [[Brick Block]]s or [[Time Block]]s, the block will react. [[? Block]]s are the most important kind of block, because when they are hit in this way, they provide helpful items. Some items are granted directly to the player, while others are thrown out in front of them so that the player has to pick them up.

Getting through each course is made easier through several new moves that are used automatically in certain situations. The player [[vaulting|vault]]s over short obstacles and small enemies, such as [[Pipe]]s and [[Goomba]]s, without having to stop at the obstacle or take damage from enemies. If the player jumps to a solid platform but hits the edge instead of landing on top, they use [[Edge Climbing]] to pull themselves up and continue to move forward.

The player can jump in other ways. By jumping while standing on a [[Long Jump Block]], the player performs a [[Long Jump]], a low jump that sends the player far forward before landing. By jumping while standing on a [[Backflip Block]], the player performs a [[Backward Somersault]], which makes them flip while jumping backward. ''Super Mario Run'' is the first 2D ''Super Mario'' game with these moves, which otherwise only appear in 3D ''Super Mario'' games.

The player can jump backward in certain cases. If the player collides with a wall while in the air, they begin to slide down it. By tapping the screen while in contact with the wall, or while sliding down, the player performs a [[Wall Jump]]. This boosts them upward and away from the wall, usually going backward. The aforementioned Backward Somersault can also be used to jump backward. By using repeated wall-jumps, the player can climb to high areas. However, most courses force the player to move forward after landing. Sometimes these two moves are combined, by having the player Backward Somersault into a left facing wall and then do a wall-jump off it to go back forward and reach a high place.

The player's speed varies based on the terrain. The player walks slower when going upward, and faster when going downward. By landing on a downward slope from a jump, the player can use a [[Slide|Slope Slide]] to careen down and knock out all enemies in their path. 

If the player takes damage from enemies or obstacles, or makes a critical mistake like falling into a pit, they are sent into a [[Bubble|bubble]] while dropping five [[coin]]s. Bubbles drift backward through the course. The player can pop the bubble and return to normal by tapping the screen. Instead of a traditional lives system, the player can continue playing a course as long as they have a bubble remaining. If there are no bubbles left, then the player is defeated, which usually has a penalty of some kind. The Remix 10 mode is harsher, because the player does not have bubbles in that mode.

If the player obtains a [[Super Mushroom]], a kind of power-up that is often found from ? Blocks, their character grows to twice their size. In this state, taking damage only shrinks the player back to normal, temporarily reduces their movement speed, and causes them to drop five coins, instead of having to use a bubble. Before the 3.0.4 update, only [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] could gain the ability to take damage without using a bubble, with all other characters instead obtaining five coins upon touching a Super Mushroom. Mario and Luigi get five coins as well if they are already tall. Players can also find a [[Super Star]], a different kind of power-up. While the effect of a Super Mushroom is permanent, the effect of a Super Star is temporary. While a Super Star is in effect, the player is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. That is, they automatically defeat enemies simply by touching them and are immune to most obstacles. Critical mistakes like falling into pits are still dangerous. Invincible characters also attract [[coin]]s around them, though certain types are excluded. In this game, the player does not get to keep their collected power-ups after finishing a run in any particular mode.

Certain courses change the game's mechanics. Courses that take place inside a [[ghost House|ghost house]] slow the player down, as those courses are puzzle influenced. In them, each room is horizontally wrapped, so anything that goes off the right edge of the screen appears on the left. The same is true for moving off the left edge. To move forward in the course, the player has to enter [[Warp Door]]s by walking into them, which takes them to the next room. Courses that take place inside a [[Tower]] have the game progress by going upward instead of to the right. There are solid walls to both the left and right of the screen. In these courses, the player can switch the direction they move in by using any wall. This is done either by wall-jumping or by jumping up and sliding back down while next to a wall.

The player has advanced moves that which allows the player to move the character in more complex ways. These are rarely necessary, but can prove extremely helpful. The [[Midair Spin]], performed by tapping the screen in the air, allows the player to stay in the air for longer. The [[Spin Strike]], performed by tapping the screen while near and above an enemy, makes it easier to [[stomp]] on the enemy and jump off to reach high areas. The [[Midair Stall]], the most complex and least broadly applicable of these moves, is performed by swiping left on the screen and keeping the finger pressed down. The player will slow down in the air, which can enable them to fall straight down as necessary. Releasing the screen or swiping left returns to normal, as does landing.

While playing the game, players are also able to listen to their own music on their device through {{wp|iTunes}} or {{wp|Google Play}}. While doing so, the playable character wear oversized headphones, becoming [[Headphone Mario]]. Music beats emanate from the headphones. This feature can be activated at any time through a [[Jammin' Toad|Toad wearing headphones]] in Kingdom Builder or on the map and pause screens of the Remix 10 mode.<ref>{{cite|quote=Try tapping the Toad wearing headphones in your Kingdom!|title=Listen to your favorite music! Headphone Mario is here!|date=September 29, 2017|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref> The character and this function only appear after playing Remix 10 for the first time.<ref>{{cite|quote=Note: A Toad wearing headphones will appear in your kingdom after you clear the first 10 courses in Remix 10.|title=Listen to your favorite music! Headphone Mario is here!|date=September 29, 2017|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref> 

The game has missions, in which the player completes a specified task in one of the modes. Missions can have varying rewards. Most missions are part of events, which include an infographic tracking the player's progression.

Previous installments in the ''Super Mario'' series, did not have the player move automatically. This means that, for returning players, a number of mechanics have been modified to better fit the gameplay. For example, when the player stomps a [[Koopa Troopa]] in this game, the [[Koopa Shell]] of the Koopa Troopa is kicked at the same time. Prior games would require that the player lands on the Koopa Shell to kick the shell. Similar changes occur all over the game, for enemies such as [[Boo]] and [[Lakitu]]. This applies to objects as well. For instance, Blocks toss items forward in this game, whereas in the past the item would grow out of the block and start moving from the block's position. [[Score]] as a mechanic is entirely replaced by collecting coins, with the effect increasing points earned for defeating consecutive enemies applied to the coins they grant when defeated.

===Game modes===
====World Tour====
'''World Tour''' is the main gameplay mode of ''Super Mario Run'', where players are tasked with completing 24 different courses across 6 worlds in order to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]] after he kidnapped her and destroyed the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. (There is also a [[How to Play|tutorial]], preempting the events of the game.) Each course has the player run through a series of challenges, usually centered around a certain enemy or mechanic, in order to reach the [[Goal Pole]] at the end of the course. Doing so completes the course, and the player is rewarded with more coins the higher they touch the Goal Pole. Reaching the top often requires completing a final jumping challenge, and the Goal Pole serves as a boundary so it cannot be jumped over.

When the game is started, the player only has access to the game's first course, [[Up & Over]]. By completing a course for the first time, the player unlocks the next course. Courses are divided into Worlds of four courses each. When the player completes a World for the first time, as in completes the fourth and final course in that World, they receive [[Rally Ticket]]s and [[Hammer]]s, which are usable in other modes. This also adds segments from the courses of that World to the Toad Rally mode as possible layouts. If the player completes a World that they did before, then they receive 100 coins for Kingdom Builder mode as a bonus. (These coins do not count as being obtained in World Tour.) Starting in version 2.0.0, the player can replay the tutorial at any point from this menu.

Every world's final course is either an [[Castle]] course or an [[Airship]] course. In these courses, the Goal Pole is not present. Instead, the player will have to fight a boss to complete the course. Bowser is the boss in castle courses, and [[Boom Boom]] is the boss in airship courses. These courses alternate: [[World 1 (Super Mario Run)|World 1]]'s final course is a Castle, [[World 2 (Super Mario Run)|World 2]]'s final course is an Airship, [[World 3 (Super Mario Run)|World 3]]'s final course is a Castle, and so on. An exception is [[World 6 (Super Mario Run)|World 6]], which has an Airship as the third course and a Castle as the fourth course.

Upon completing the first 24 courses, [[World Star (Super Mario Run)|World Star]] is unlocked. World Star is different from the other Worlds. It has 9 courses instead of 4, and these courses are not unlocked by completing the course that comes before it. Instead, these courses are unlocked by completing missions across the modes of ''Super Mario Run''.<ref>{{cite|quote=The courses in World ★ are locked at first, but you can unlock them by completing certain missions.|title=Even more fun with World ★|date=September 29, 2017|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref> Its last course is an Airship. It also has a different Airship course as the second course, but that one has a Goal Pole instead of ending with fighting Boom Boom.

The player starts with two bubbles at the start of each course, though more can be obtained by hitting certain ? Blocks. In addition, the player can prematurely use a bubble by tapping the icon on the top-left of the screen. This can be used to attempt to collect any items they missed earlier in the course or go through both choices for a split path without having to reset. If the player is defeated with no bubbles remaining, they lose and leave the course with no rewards. The player is taken to a black screen, where they may choose to start again or return to the course selection screen.

Each course has a timer, usually starting with 60 to 90 seconds. If the timer counts down to 0, the player loses immediately. Courses may have [[Time Block]]s that will grant the player more time when hit, up to a maximum of 99. The player's bubble count and time do not carry over between stages or runs of the same stage.

In every course, the player can collect a set of five [[color coin]]s, which can be found among regular coins or within Brick Blocks and ? Blocks. At the end of the course, these add ten coins to the coin counter. At first, the color coins are [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]]s. If all five Pink Coins are collected in a single run for the first time, the player receives Rally Tickets and unlocks the ability to collect [[Purple Coin]]s. These coins are put in more challenging locations than the Pink Coins. If all five Purple Coins are collected in one run for the first time, the player receives Rally Tickets and unlocks the ability to collect [[Black Coin]]s, which are put in even more challenging locations. Black Coins also cannot be collected with the magnetizing effect of a Super Star. Collecting all the Black Coins in a single run for the first time only rewards Rally Tickets. The player can choose which color coins to collect on the course-selection screen, with the game defaulting to the most difficult set. Courses might have slight modifications made to them depending on which color of coins are available to collect. Ghost houses are more dramatic, with entire rooms swapping out for other rooms based on the color coin that is present. World Star has ★Pink Coins, ★Purple Coins, and ★Black Coins instead of regular color coins. These are identical, but in menus are noted in separate counters from their non-★ counterparts.

Once a course is complete, the game shows a summary screen to the player. The value of the color coins they collected in that run are added to the number of coins collected in the course, creating a final total for the run. This total is added to the coin total used to buy items in the Shop in Kingdom Builder. If the player collected a full set of color coins in a course, this is marked as well. Additionally, each course lists the highest number of coins obtained in a single run. The player also gets to see every enemy in the course, and the number of each they defeated in that run.

Worlds 2 through 6, as well as World Star, can only be accessed by paying to unlock the full game. Only the first three courses of the game, as well as the first 30 seconds of the [[Bowser's Castle Hangout|fourth course]] can be accessed for free. However, starting with version 2.0.0, by completing Bowser's Challenges, players are given an additional 60 seconds on the timer for Bowser's Castle Hangout, allowing them to complete the entire course.

In the version 1.1.0 update, an Easy Mode was added. If the player accesses a course in Easy Mode, they have an infinite amount of bubbles and time to complete the course with. The gauge from the tutorial appears too, measuring out the how the player's taps are affecting their jump height. Easy Mode can be toggled on before starting a course (only from version 2.0.0 onward) or activated on the black screen after losing in a course. However, after finishing a course, the player does not keep any [[Coin]]s collected and the personal high coin count is not recorded. The [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run|24th course]] and World Star courses cannot be played on Easy Mode.

Gold Goomba events are held in this mode. In these events, [[Gold Goomba]]s appears in certain courses, indicated by a Gold Goomba icon in the course-selection screen. Defeating a Gold Goomba earns a stamp in the stamp card at the end of a course. During the events, courses with Gold Goombas do not affect the high coin count. There are two types of Gold Goomba events: "Mega event" has four stamp cards with 20 stamps spots each, and "Gold Goomba Lite" has four stamp cards with 5 stamp spots each (with the fourth card having 10 stamp spots instead of 5). Event dates and details are shown [[Gold Goomba#Super Mario Run|here]].

====Toad Rally====
[[File:SMR Shot - Toad Rally.png|thumb|Running against an opponent in Toad Rally]]
'''Toad Rally''' has players compete against "ghosts" of other players in one-minute runs through randomized courses, with the goal being to collect the most [[Coin|coins]] and impress the most [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s. This helps replenish the kingdom after Bowser drove all the Toads away. [[Toadette]] is the judge for the mode. Playing Toad Rally costs one [[Rally Ticket]].

A Toad comes to cheer for the player when they perform one of the following actions:
*Rolling Jump (jump when doing a Landing Roll)
*Vaulting Jump (jump when Vaulting)
*Climbing Jump (jump when Edge Climbing)
*Consecutive Stomps (jumping on more than one enemy without touching the ground in between)
*Consecutive Wall Jumps (wall jumping at least twice on two walls one opposite to the other)
*collecting a Pink Coin
*collecting all the [[Blue Coins]] that appear after hitting a [[P Switch]]
*Threading the Ring (jump through a [[Fire Chain]] without taking damage)
*being the first to touch the [[Checkpoint Flag]]
While there’s no limit in the amount of Toads that can cheer, only the first 30 Toads who cheered for each the two players are shown in the Rally summary.
By performing these actions, the player also fills up a meter presented near the top of the screen. Once the meter is filled up, or a Super Star is obtained, the player will temporarily enter a Coin Rush. In a Coin Rush, objects dispense considerably more coins than normal, more coins appear overall, and enemies supply more coins upon being defeated. The Super Star's coin attracting effect is still used if applicable. Coin Rushes, excluding those caused by Super Stars, can be prolonged by performing certain actions (the same as those that fill the Coin Rush meter) or collecting coins. 

If the player dies, the meter for a Coin Rush is reset and any ongoing Coin Rush ends. The player has an infinite supply of bubbles in Toad Rally, but they cannot manually enter a bubble. 

The timer cannot be extended or stopped in this mode.

During Toad Rally, an image of the opponent's character is seen in a layer behind the player's character. It has a static appearance, but it does flips when it performs one of the above actions, has sparkles when they are in a Coin Rush, and has rainbow colors when they are invincible. Any bubbles they use are also visible. If the opponent is off screen, an indicator shows which side of the screen they are on, which moves to reflect their height. A pin with an "X" mark is shown at every location in the course where the opponent dies, which is visible before and after the opponent reaches it. The opponent cannot interact with the player except to reach the Checkpoint Flag first; an indicator is shown when the opponent reaches the Checkpoint Flag.

At the end of the round, both competitors' total number of coins collected are compared, with the cheering Toads serving as multiplier to the coins. The player is shown a Toad Tally: an abstracted version of the run of both themselves and their opponent which shows how the coins collected changed overtime. The player can tap the screen to have it play faster or skip it with a button. The Toads' effect on the coin total is shown last, with the opponent's coins multiplied before the player's. The player with the higher Coin total wins, resulting in them taking the Toads of the other player. If the player wins the match, they gain the Toads that were cheering on both themselves and their opponent during the match. However, if the player loses, they lose a few of their Toads they had before the match started. If the player lost, then from the results screen they may choose to have a rematch against the same opponent. In either case, the player's final total of coins is added to the total used to buy items in Kingdom Builder.

While the player can quit out to the menu during a Toad Rally, this is penalized by having some of the Toads that were cheering leave the kingdom.

If either player plays as one of the [[Yoshi]]s, Toads of the corresponding color are more likely to cheer for them. If either player plays as [[Toadette]], it becomes easier to get Toads to cheer for them. During the result screen, as that player's Toads are being factored for the coin calculation, some of the Toads cheering for the opponent switch to Toadette's side. This raises her coin multiplier and lowers the opponent’s. [[Toad]] takes her place as the judge, even if Toad is also being played as.

Players are able to choose between 5 different opponents from the menu screen, each being found in one of 7 different environments. Each match takes place on a somewhat randomly-generated course with that enviroment. Courses are made up of small segments from World Tour courses using the selected environment, as well as certain segments original to Toad Rally layouts, strung together into one infinite course. While matches can initially only be played in the ground environment, they are able to unlock more by completing each world in the World Tour mode. The environment chosen also impacts which colors of Toads which can come to cheer during the match.

The "Loads of Coins" event is periodically held in this mode. During the event, if the player wins a match, their final total of coins is multiplied by 1.5 before being added to Kingdom Builder.<ref>{{cite|quote=The Loads of Coins event is now on!

=====Friendly Run=====
In '''Friendly Run''', accessed through the Friends List, the player can compete against the ghosts of friends in a round of Toad Rally. However, no progress can be made through this mode. Unlike a normal Toad Rally, the number of coins and Toads that a player has does not change. Neither do enemies being defeated count toward leveling them up.<ref>{{cite|quote=Your coins, Toads, and the number of enemies defeated will not increase from Friendly Run.|author=|title=Help and Inquiries|url=https://support.supermariorun.com/en-US/faq|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}})</ref> Initially, Friendly Run can only be played once a day. However, the limited number of plays increases to three when World 1 is cleared, and to five when World 2 is cleared.

In a Friendly Run Event, they can earn Rally Tickets, which can be used to play regular Toad Rally or Remix 10. Here are the following dates that the event was held:

====Kingdom Builder====
[[File:SMRkingdombuilder.png|thumb|left|Kingdom Builder.]]
{{see also|List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run}}
In '''Kingdom Builder''', players can place down various different buildings and decorations into the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], rebuilding the area however they like. While most items are only aesthetic, some items can be used to obtain coins, Rally Tickets, new characters, or access bonus courses. Objects can be obtained by buying them with coins in the in-game shop, the Bonus Game in Remix 10, and from giveaways during special events. The player can also watch the Toads of the kingdom move around and interact with the various buildings. 

Items have two types: Decorations and Buildings. Decorations are small portions of an environment, that can be placed on grassy patches of land. Examples of decorations include [[tree]]s, [[flower]]s, topiaries, and Slanted Rocks. They can only take up one space per item. Buildings are larger and more specialized than decorations, generally being artificial. They can only be placed on specifc plots of dirt. Examples of buildings include [[Toad House]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], statues, and [[Brick Block|block]]s. Some buildings are larger than others, requiring a 1x2 space or a 2x2 space of dirt in order to be placed. Note that these general statements are not hardline: [[Banana]] Statues are decorations, and Cherry Blossom Trees are buildings.

After tapping the Build button on the lower right corner of the screen, the player has the ability to place down items, move existing items around, or put away items. Each of these modes is entered through a specific button, and spots that mode is applicable to with are temporarily  marked with yellow squares. Placing items first requires picking one from the menu, putting items away only requires picking an existing item, and moving items has the player pick an existing item then a destination. If one or more Toads are interacting with a building, they move with the building. Similarly, if a building is put away while one or more Toads are interacting with it, the Toads disappear. (This does not remove the Toadss from the kingdom.) If a item is moved to the same spot as another item, both items swap places. Additionally, the player can use the "Clear Area" button from the Put Away menu to put away every item in an Area at the same time.

[[Thwomp]]s block certain plots of dirt, preventing buildings from being placed where they stand until the Thwomps are destroyed using [[Hammer]]s. These are one use items obtained by completing each world in World Tour. Later in the game, Thwomp Statues become available as normal buildings. These are mechanically identical to Thwomps, except they are buildings and therefore can be moved or put away.

The player can interact with the Toads and items they have placed by tapping them. If a Toad is tapped, it bounces into the air. Items respond by slighting shrinking then rebounding to slightly grow, then settle back at the base size. Tapping on a building in most cases also bounces any Toads next to or on top of that building. A rare few decorations and buildings have special effects when interacted with, such as blowing away the seeds of Dandelions or causing a Boo Statue to briefly hide its face. Toads may also carry coins while standing next to a building. These coins can be collected by tapping on the Toad or the building.

There is also a subgroup of buildings called Special buildings. Special buildings are generally interactive or produce some special effect that normal buildings do not have. [[? Block]]s reward the player with coins or Rally Tickets, [[Toad House|Bonus Game House]]s allow the player to play minigames to gain coins or Rally Tickets. Both of these go on a cooldown timer after being used, during which tapping them has no useful effect. Bonus Game Houses show a timer until they can be used. This cannot be circumvented by putting away the building and placing it again. Certain pipes allow access to Special Courses. The house of a character unlocks them as a playable character when placed, but have no further effect. While the player can have a large number of most items, they can ususally have only one of special building. Only ? Blocks and Rainbow Bridges can be obtained in multiples. Some special buildings are placed in locations exclusive to them: these occur automatically when they are purchased and cannot be put away. Special buildings can only be obtained from the Shop, and not through any other source. In menus, special buildings have a tab separate from non-special buildings.

At the start, only one Area of the kingdom is available to place objects on, consisting of just a single screen in front of [[Peach's Castle]]. However, when the player purchases a Rainbow Bridge, it is automatically placed to add another Area to the kingdom. Each new Area contains more space for items and Thwomps occupying some of that space. The player can scroll to different Areas by swiping across the screen in direction to move in. The game has to fully load before the screen can scroll all the way to the breakpoint that swaps areas; if loading has not finished, if the player swipe does not go far enough, or if that Area has not been added to the kingdom, then the camera snaps back to the current Area. There five Rainbow Bridges to buy, and six Areas in total.

The Mushroom Kingdom serves as the game's main menu, with button and [[Warp Pipe]] user interface elements to move to the game's other menus. These can be hidden by tapping on a empty space. The player can also zoom in and out by stretching or pinching the screen, respectively. The player cannot scroll between screens while zoomed in, and the Build button causes the game to zoom out fully when pressed.

=====Shop=====
Toad runs a Shop where the player can spend the accumulated coins from World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder to purchase items. Decorations, Buildings, and Special are separate tabs. Most items found within the Shop require the player to have a certain number of Toads, sometimes of specific colors, in order to unlock the ability to buy them. This unlock only cares about if the player has ever met or exceeded the listed total; dropping below that number of that color or in total does not prevent the player from making a purchase. Pop-ups appear after each Toad Rally run, which indicate progression toward the next special building. Additionally, Toad sometimes announces if there are new items available to buy.

=====Special courses=====
If the player collects all of the Pink, Purple, or Black Coins within each of the first 24 courses of World Tour, they unlock the ability to purchase a corresponding colored pipe from the Shop in Kingdom Builder mode. These are special buildings that cost 0 coins. When these pipes are interacted with, the player can access a Special course. Pink Coins unlock the Pink Coin Pipe, which leads to [[Chase the Snaking Coins]]. Purple Coins unlock the Purple Coin Pipe, which leads to [[Piranha Plant Field]]. and Black Coins unlock the Black Coin Pipe, which leads to [[Make the Cut!]]. Only one of each pipe can be purchased.

These courses are played in World Tour rules, with four caveats. One is that the pop up for entering a Special course does not have the option to change characters. The player must select their character before tapping on the pipe. The next is that each course only has one kind of color coin available, the same color coins that were collected to unlock the Pipe. The third is that the game does not permanently track the color coins collected in a Special Course. These color coins are still worth 10 coins, but it means the coins are not added to the menu showing all of the color coins collected across every course. The fourth is that none of these courses can be played in Easy Mode.

Enemies and coins are tracked as though the player were playing World Tour. However, technically the coins are collected outside of World Tour, and therefore do not count toward World Tour missions.

In addition, if all of the ★Black Coins are collected in each of the 9 courses in World Star, the Gold Star Pipe will be unlocked. It leads to a fourth special course, [[Red Block Run]].

====Remix 10====
[[File:SMR Shot - Remix 10.png|thumb|[[Mario]] within a Remix 10 course, with a [[Bonus Medal]] nearby.]]
'''Remix 10''', introduced in version 3.0.4, has the player go through Areas, each containing a series of 10 bite-sized courses all played in a row, in order to rescue Princess Daisy who is lost in Area 30. Each course has 3 [[Bonus Medal]]s hidden in it. The goal is to the complete all 10 stages while grabbing as many Bonus Medals as possible. Completing all ten courses without failing rewards 2 extra Bonus Medals, and collecting every Bonus Medal in the courses rewards 3 more medals. Playing Remix 10 requires one Rally Ticket. 

The courses are randomly chosen snippets from the game's other courses, including segments from courses that are part of Toad Rally but excluding World Star courses, [[Red Block Run]], and [[How to Play]]. [[Goal Pole]]s, Warp Pipes, and [[Warp Door]]s serve as the ending of courses. If the segment did not have one of these items, a Goal Pole is added. (Sections from [[Cutting-Edge Spire]] instead add a Warp Door.) The tenth course always ends in a Goal Pole. Each area's last course may instead be a boss battle against [[Bowser]] or [[Boom Boom]], both of whom drop the course's three Bonus Medals when defeated.

Between courses, the player is shown a black screen with a counter for which of the 10 courses is up next. If the course has something special about it, an icon indicates what is upcoming. For instance, the [[VS Boom Boom]] course uses an Airship icon, and the [[VS Bowser]] course uses a Castle icon. The final course of each round has to have an icon: if it is not an Airship or a Castle, then it is instead a Goal Pole. Mario keeps his power-ups between each course.

When the player collects 100 coins, the counter resets and the player is provided  with a power-up: a Super Mushroom if they are small and a Super Star if they are large. The power-up is contained within a bubble that floats over the player, and persists between courses if uncollected. These coins are not added to Kingdom Builder.

No [[Game Over]] screen is included; if the player fails to complete a course, they will proceed to the next one with an "Oops!" message. All Bonus Medals from the failed course are lost. However, if the player fails a boss battle, they will lose all Bonus Medals earned during the 10 courses and have to restart the run. The Rally Ticket is returned to the player. Upon fighting the boss again, the player will be given a Super Mushroom.

Unlike the game's other modes, players cannot choose their character. All courses are played as Mario, except for the fifth course of each run, where Mario is replaced by a different character, randomly selected upon entering the Area. This course is represented by the icon for that character. The player's power-ups are kept which switching characters.

In addition, starting in Area 6, if the player performs well in the last run of Remix 10, some modifications will occur to their next run. The 3rd or the 3rd and 7th course of the run will oftentimes become a "Special Remix Course," or a "Secret Course". A Special Remix Course is a course from the game with modifications. Some may contain a new enemy or element, while others may fill the course with coins. They are indicated by an orange "!" icon. A Secret Course is a brand new course not based off of a course from another mode. These courses often use elements from [[World Star (Super Mario Run)|World Star]], such as [[Fishing Boo]]s or [[crate]]s. These courses have five Bonus Medals in them instead of three. They are indicated by a red "?" icon. If the player's last run ended while the the coin counter ends in double digits (i.e. 11, 22, etc), the first course of a run is replaced by a [[Bonus Medal in Cloud|"cloud" course]]" that contains two Super Stars and coins arranged in the shape of a character or object. Among the coins are five Bonus Medals. These special courses will only last for 15 minutes before disappearing. This course is represented by an icon of a Bonus Medal inside a cloud. Rarely, the icon will sparkle, which means that every coin in the course is instead a Bonus Medal. In this case, missing Bonus Medals in the course does not count against the extra Bonus Medals after the round.

After every round, the player enters the Bonus Game. The player gets to hit a single [[? Block]], which contains an item for Kingdom Builder. This block may not release an item upon being hit, instead growing larger and allowing the player to hit it again. The stars of the item is equal to the number of times the block is hit before releasing it, the number of hits and the resulting item's rarity are randomized between 1★-5★. After the Bonus Game is complete, the Bonus Medals obtained in that round fill a meter. Completing Areas also fills this meter. When it is full, the player can access the Super Bonus Game. This is similar to the bonus game, except that the player hits a [[Bonus ? Block]] that at minimum needs to be hit three times and at maximum can be hit six times. This means the items can be 3★, 4★, 5★, or 6★ items. The meter can be filled multiple times, "storing" multiple chances to play the Super Bonus Game. These can be spent multiple times in a row, skipping the animations and loading for entering the Super Bonus Game one at a time. Completing a boss fight rewards the player with a 5★ or 6★ item from a Gift Box. 6★ items are exclusive to Remix 10. Items can be rewarded to the player even if the player does not have enough Toads to buy them from the Shop. The player can toggle a "Place in Kingdom" setting to automatically add an item received to the kingdom. It is placed in a random empty spot. If there are no empty spots, an existing item will be put away to place the new item.<ref>{{cite|quote=In Remix 10, if you set Place in Kingdom to On, the buildings and decorations you earn in this mode will be automatically placed in your kingdom when you receive them. Items will be placed randomly in any empty spots. However, if there are no empty spots, the new items will take the place of previously placed items.|author=|title=Help and Inquiries|url=https://support.supermariorun.com/en-US/faq|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref>

In addition to the Rally Ticket cost, Players who have not purchased the full game are required to wait for a period of time between two runs starting from Area 3, or use extra Rally Tickets to skip the timer. As the player advances through the mode, the amount of time between attempts and the number of Rally Tickets required to skip the wait increases.<ref>{{cite|quote=The number of Rally Tickets required to skip the Remix 10 wait time will vary depending on your progress in the main game.|title=Some of the shortest Super Mario Run course you'' ever play! Remix 10 is a brand-new game mode!|date=September 29, 2017|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=October 30, 2024}}</ref>  

The player can choose to quit a Remix 10 run at any point. This will return their Rally Ticket. When the player starts a run again the regular courses will be randomly selected again, but Special Remix Courses and Secret Courses will remain the same.

Between rounds of Remix 10, the player can look at the map of the Area they are in. The map has spaces representing each of the courses played in a round. Some spaces have icons over them, which which indicate a property of the course. When completing a round of Remix 10, Mario advances 10 spaces on the map, with spaces turning blue on a successful clear, turning rainbow if every Bonus Medal was collected, and turning red with an white X if the player character was defeated. Most icons disappear when Mario passes through them. Character icons play a sound clip and turn to face right instead of left, Goal Poles swap to Mario's emblem, and Airships and Castles do not vanish. An Area has three to six rounds of Remix 10 in it, after which Mario jumps into a pipe and moves on to the next Area,

Various limited-time events are held in this mode, such as:
*Bonus Medals that are collected are multiplied by 1.2 (event dates are shown [[Bonus Medal|here]]),
*The appearance rate of 5★/6★ items in Super Bonus Game are increased (event dates and details are shown [[Bonus ? Block#Super Bonus Game events|here]]), and
*"Weekend Spotlight", which are themed events where the appearance rate for themed buildings are increased (event dates and details are shown [[Bonus ? Block#Super Bonus Game events|here]]).

By collecting 30 or more medals in a single round of Remix 10, the player unlocks the World Star course [[Desert Fuzz]].

==Characters==
===Playable===
There are a total of 11 playable characters in ''Super Mario Run''; six were originally featured in the base game while additional Yoshi colors and Daisy were added to the game through version updates. At the start of the game, only Mario is available, with the rest being unlockable through playing each of the different modes.

Each character plays differently from each other; Luigi can jump higher than Mario and can [[scuttle]], Peach can [[Floating Jump|float in midair]], Daisy can [[Double Jump (airborne)|double jump]], Toad runs faster than Mario, and Toadette converts some Toads from the opponent's side to the player's side just before scoring is complete in Toad Rally. 

The playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can [[Flutter Jump]], and Toads of the same color are more likely to cheer for them. They can also land on sharp hazards and enemies such as [[Spiny|Spinies]] and [[Grinder]]s without taking damage. They stand on [[Spike Trap]]s and [[Munchers]] but bounces off all other applicable entities. Bouncing off things is not the same as stomping them. [[Impostor Bowser|Fake Bowser]] and [[Bowser]]'s spikes still damage Yoshis and they do not bounce off. In Remix 10, only course per Area has to be played as any Yoshi. In other words, they are mutually exclusive on an Area basis.

Mario and Luigi start courses in [[Small Mario|Small form]], while everyone else starts at the taller size. Prior to the 3.0.4 version of the game, only Mario and Luigi would grow big and be able to take two hits when touching a [[Super Mushroom]]. However, as of version 3.0.4, the rest of the playable characters receive a Small form and thus can take two hits before being defeated as well.

The following descriptions are taken from the "Characters" section of the Notebook.

==Enemies and obstacles==
===Enemies===
The characters in this category aim to prevent the player from achieving their goal, by inflicting damage upon the player character. Enemies can do this by touching the player, and some enemies additionally attack by throwing objects such as [[Spike Ball]]s and [[wrench]]es. While in past ''Super Mario'' games, many enemies can walk into the player to damage them, [[Vaulting]] prevents a number of them from dealing damage in this way because the player will jump over them automatically. Some enemies react to the player, moving in various ways depending on how the player approaches. The player can choose to go around enemies, or defeat them by jumping then landing on their head: the latter is called [[stomp]]ing. Stomping on enemies is encouraged, since defeating enemies grants beneficial coins. By default, the player character does a short jump when they stomp an enemy. By stomping on an enemy while holding a press on the screen, the player can leap higher than normal and potentially reach beneficial items they cannot otherwise.

Certain enemies sparkle, and a subset of them have a golden glow. Defeating such an enemy causes it to drop a number of coins onto the ground in addition to the coins defeating that enemy normally grants. Some enemies can be found carrying color coins or Bonus Medals, which means the item moves to match the enemy. This makes collecting the coin more difficult.

Defeating enemies grants a single coin by default. More coins are rewarded when multiple enemies are defeated by the same move, with the second enemy granting two coins and every further enemy granting four coins. In Toad Rally, this is further modified by enemy leveling and being in a Coin Rush.

Many enemies have special traits about them that make them more difficult to evade or attack. Some enemies are covered in spikes, so jumping on them or using one of the jumping attacks hurts the player. Additionally, landing on this kind of enemy does not let the player jump off. Yoshi, as stated prior, can bounce from these kinds of enemies but not jump off them. Some enemies cannot be defeated without special maneuvers, like [[Boo]], and still other enemies cannot be defeated by the player alone, like [[Lava Bubble]]s. If the player collects a [[Super Star]], they become invincible and can temporarily defeat any enemy they touch while being immune to damage. This also allows the player to defeat many enemies that cannot be defeated otherwise, such as a Lava Bubble.

If an enemy leaves the screen, if the player uses a [[bubble]] to retreat far away from from that enemy's initial position and then returns, the enemy will appear again. This continues to occur until the enemy is defeated, which makes it stop reappearing. This means that the player cannot repeatedly defeat the same enemy to earn coins.

Two of the listed enemies, [[Bowser]] and [[Boom Boom]], are bosses. Bosses are a more complex kind of enemy. They have more than one attack or way to move, and are defeated using methods specific to them. More pertinently, while defeating enemies is optional, defeating bosses is required. This is because a course with a boss in it can only be completed by defeating that boss. Boom Boom is further special because while fighting him the game allows the player to switch directions as though they are in a Tower.

When the player defeats an enemy for the first time, it is added to the Notebook. Enemies can be [[Level up|leveled up]] by defeating certain amounts of that kind of enemy in World Tour and Toad Rally. When this happens, the enemy grants extra coins when it is defeated in Toad Rally. Each additional level requires defeating more enemies than the prior level, and enemies can only be leveled up three times. The first level makes the enemy grant one more coin, the second level makes the enemy grant two more coins, and the third level makes the enemy grant three more coins. This increase in coins is a flat bonus, as Coin Rush does not affect these coins. The Notebook tracks the total number of each kind of enemy that is defeated, even when they are at the maximum level. Certain enemies cannot be leveled up. The Notebook does not track the total number of times such enemies have been defeated.

===Obstacles===
Obstacles are various characters and objects that also try to inflict damage on the player. Some of these will inflict damage just by touching them, while others can be touched but have an attack that does inflict damage. For the most part, obstacles cannot be defeated. (Spike Balls and Wrenches can be defeated using a Super Star, and grant the player coins for doing so like enemies do.) Note that enemies do not interact with obstacles in the same way the player does. While Mario gets hurt when he touches the fire of a [[Burner]] or a [[Spike Trap]] in general, enemies do not. Not all of these characters and objects are able to be stood on, the ones that can be stood on are noted in short hand as being "solid". Obstacles do not have a listing in the Notebook.

===Notes===
<references group=nb/>

==Nintendo Account==
''Super Mario Run'' supports linking a [[Nintendo Account]]. With a Nintendo Account linked, the game's save data is kept with Nintendo even when the app is deleted, and can be transferred across devices. However, this transfer only allows for save data to be played on one device at a time, and does not include if the game has or has not been purchased. As with many app, the full game purchase can be restored via the menu, as long as the operating system is the same on both devices. Also, save data cannot be unlinked or switched to a different Nintendo Account. Deactivating and deleting the Nintendo Account also deletes ''Super Mario Run''{{'}}s save data, though if the account is reactivated before deletion the save data becomes available again.

With an account linked, the game uses the account's [[Mii]] as a player icon. It also includes customization performed in ''{{wp|Miitomo}}''.

If a player has a linked Nintendo Account, a random course is accessible each day even if the game has not been purchased. This excludes courses in World 1, World 6, World Star, and all Castle and Airship courses.

==Menu==
===Friend List===
The Friend List allows the player to view their Player Record, the Player Records of all their friends, visits their friends' kingdoms, and challenge friends to Friendly Runs. For each person, the Friend List itself displays their name, player icon, the character they have selected, the number of Toads in their kingdom, and if that player has every Pink Coin, Purple Coin, or Black Coin.

The Player Record goes much more in-depth. The name and player icon are displayed at the top, then a number of statistics in a number of categories can be accessed. The first is a general group, while the others are for each of the side scrolling platforming modes. Some qualifiers have been added to this listing of the statisitcs to clarify what is being tracked.

*General
**Coins (Total obtained)
**Toads (current population, applies to all further Toad listings)
**Red Toads
**Blue Toads
**Green Toads
**Purple Toads
**Yellow Toads
*World Tour
**Top Course Cleared

**Toad Rallies Raced
**Wins
**Consecutive Wins (greatest streak)
*Remix 10
**Current Area
**Courses Played (only updates when a run is completed)
**Bonus Medals (only updates when a run is completed)

A player with their Nintendo Account linked to ''Super Mario Run'' can further see any of their Friends in the Nintendo Account system that have linked their accounts to the game in the Friend List. This allows them to quickly send and receive invites.

===My Nintendo===
[[File:SMR My Nintendo Rewards.png|thumb|The My Nintendo rewards page]]
With a Nintendo Account linked, players can access ''Super Mario Run'' missions and rewards on [[My Nintendo]]. The missions for ''Super Mario Run'' are tied to tasks in the game, and reward ''Super Mario Run'' Platinum Points instead of regular Platinum Points. Certain missions can only be completed once, while others can be completed repeatedly.  Completing one makes a notification appear in the game. The rewards are items that are sent to the Gift Box in the game, where they can be claimed at any point. They can be earned by redeeming Platinum Points for them. However, only regular Platinum Points and ''Super Mario Run'' Platinum Points can be used for these rewards. A number of rewards are items that cannot be obtained through normal gameplay. ''Super Mario Run'' has a limited web browser that can access My Nintendo for the Nintendo Account linked to its user data.

==Development==
''Super Mario Run'' was created to reach a wider audience, as iPhones have a larger install base than Nintendo's own devices such as the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name= "StarSessions">{{cite|title=Shigeru Miyamoto English Interview on Designing Super Mario Run {{!}} Nintendo|Author=Katie Linendoll|Publisher=Star Sessions, Youtube|Date=December 10, 2016|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL47n61uihs|Accessdate=September 5, 2024}}</ref> Additionally, prior experimenting was done to create a control scheme with only one button, which worked well with an iPhone.<ref name= "StarSessions"/> The game only uses tapping and holding based controls instead of also including swipes and 3D Touch functionality to make it easy and intuitive to play.<ref name= "StarSessions"/> It additionally made it easier to play with only one hand.<ref name= "StarSessions"/>

The decision to have Mario always run forward was made before development started.<ref name= "StarSessions"/> This was influenced by how the best ''Super Mario'' players never stop running, but inexperienced players often have trouble moving Mario around and holding the button to [[dash]].<ref name= "StarSessions"/> The blocks that allow Mario to jump in special ways were added to give players more options than only running and jumping.<ref name= "StarSessions"/> The [[Vaulting]] and [[Vaulting Jump]] moves were added to help players deal with enemies and focus more on jumping.<ref name= "StarSessions"/>

The brief moments where the player stops, be that on a [[Pause Block]] or when [[Edge Climbing]], gave the game a unique rhythm unlike other ''Mario'' releases.<ref name= "StarSessions"/>

==Cross-promotional events==
Nintendo held cross-promotional events to celebrate releases for ''Super Mario'' and other Nintendo mobile games. Certain rewards like coins and Kingdom Builder items were given to players.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Super Mario Run'' has received generally positive reviews, with the iOS version earning a score of 76 on Metacritic based on 59 reviews<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/super-mario-run Metacritic score for ''Super Mario Run''.] ''Metacritic''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref> and a score of 76.23% on GameRankings based on 30 reviews.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/iphone/195777-super-mario-run/index.html GameRankings score for ''Super Mario Run''.] ''GameRankings''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref> The game is generally praised for its simple, yet intuitive controls and that the game retains the quality level design from previous ''Super Mario'' platformers. Critics also praise the social competitiveness of the Toad Rally mode and building objects as motivation from Kingdom Builder. On the other hand, the game has been criticized for its relatively short World Tour length and low replayability of the levels, as well as the requirement for the game to be online.

Michael McWhertor of Polygon gave ''Super Mario Run'' a 7 out of 10 in his review.<ref>McWhertor, Michael. (December 15, 2016). [http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/15/13976400/super-mario-run-review-ios-iphone-ipad-android-nintendo-mobile Super Mario Run review]. ''Polygon''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref> He has praised the game for its mechanics being translated well into taps for a touchscreen, but laments how it has been compromised by the lack of power-ups and precise control the series is known for. The review has described Kingdom Builder as a "lengthy grind in service of unlocking mostly cosmetic items." In his final verdict, he has described the game as "an enjoyable but imperfect adaptation of the Mario games for touchscreen devices." Jose Otero of IGN has given ''Super Mario Run'' an 8 out of 10,<ref>Otero, Jose. (December 15, 2016). [http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/12/15/super-mario-run-review Super Mario Run Review.] ''IGN''. Retrieved December 16, 2016.</ref>, praising the game for its strong level designs and new mechanics though also citing three-hit boss fights with Boom Boom and Bowser as "relics from Nintendo's past" and states that "they're not as smart or clever as the rest of the campaign stages." He has also cited that the visuals are not impressive, especially compared to another mobile auto-runner platformer, ''{{wp|Rayman Jungle Run}}'', but has praised Mario's animations within the game. His final statement stated that ''Super Mario Run'' is an elegantly designed platformer with strong hooks despite not being the best-looking ''Super Mario'' game by a longshot.

In these moments, I forgot I was playing a mobile translation of Mario. That fades fast, unfortunately, as Princess Peach was kissing me on the cheek thanking me for my service just as I felt I was getting started. Rewards exist for replaying those levels repeatedly, but they simply aren't enough for me.''"

Nintendo's unmatched craft in creating platformers is evident during the best moments of Super Mario Run, but the experience is sometimes hamstrung by the game's limited control. The all-too-brief World Tour is its strongest pillar, but I wish there were more to the game beyond playing the same levels again and again.''"

Super Mario Run impresses in ways I wasn't convinced this approach to the character could. This, let's not forget, is Nintendo on someone else's hardware making good.

Once I wrapped up the main campaign, the addictive, replayable stages urged me to perfect my coin runs. Kingdom Builder and Toad Rally provided further motivation to keep dashing for the finish line, so I could invest the spoils in my own Mushroom Kingdom. While this isn't the best-looking Super Mario game by a longshot, it successfully distills the core fun and charm of the Mario franchise into a smart, one-handed experience.''"

It's a shame to find that it's on the easy side and bereft of a long-lasting platforming adventure, but it's the sort of game that you'll be happy to have in your pocket. Even if you don't play it to unlock every character and special course, finishing the game once will inspire you to dust off New Super Mario Bros. and revisit Run's quality roots on other platforms--a testament to the series' refined DNA than lives on in Run.''"

|8/10
|align="left"|"''Super Mario Run is thankfully miles away from being the simplified disaster that many nay-sayers had feared; in fact, what's striking about this mobile release is how similar it is to traditional Mario titles in terms of gameplay and challenge. Despite having limited control over Mario there's still a strong focus on skill, especially if you want to grab all of those pink, purple and black coins. The brevity of the experience is an issue however – an average player should be able to finish an initial no-frills World Tour run in around an hour – and as a result Super Mario Run's social element becomes its long-term focus. Challenging pals via the elegant in-game friends system is addictive, and the Toad Rally mode – which underpins the kingdom-building meta game – is sure to soak up plenty of play time.''"

;Control Mario with just a tap!

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<br>
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<br>
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<br>
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<br>
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.

==References to other games==
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Various sprites are featured as decorations for Kingdom Builder. The background music for Remix 10 features a remixed version of the overworld theme. The Toad Rally and World Tour theme is a remix of the selection theme for ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': The background music for Remix 10 features a remixed version of the underground theme. This is also Peach's first playable appearance in a 2D Super Mario platformer since ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', although the player has to rescue her in order to play as her as she is also the usual damsel in distress in this game. Her floating jump ability makes a return, along with the addition of slowly descending in mid-air.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The background music for Remix 10 features a remixed version of the overworld theme. The minigame in the yellow Toad House is inspired by one of the Battle Mode stages in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Land]]'': Mario once again rescues Princess Daisy. Remix 10's background music features the remixed version of the underground theme, and Daisy's character description mentions [[Sarasaland]], a location from this game.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': When the blue star triggering Coin Rush is released, the "item dropped" sound effect from this game plays. Remix 10's background music features the remixed version of the overworld theme. The Blue Bonus Game House has a minigame that is played the same way as the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] from this game.
*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': When the player grabs a [[Super Star]] in Remix 10, a remix of the [[:File:SMW2YI Powerful Infant.oga|Powerful Infant]] theme from this game can be heard.
*''[[Mario Party 8]]'': Princess Peach and Bowser's artworks are taken from this game. Some of Princess Daisy's voice clips originate from this game. 
*''[[Mario Party DS]]'': Yoshi's artwork is taken from this game. 
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': The music for the Coin Rush results screen is reused in this game, which is heard after clearing a course. The sound effect that plays when a ? Block releases a Gold Flower is heard when a Roulette Block releases three Super Mushrooms/Super Stars.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'': Graphics are taken from this game. Some music tracks outside the Remix 10 mode are rearrangements. Some of the crowd cheers are also taken from this game.
*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': Toad's artwork is an edited version of his artwork from this game.
*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': The timer countdown jingle from [[Battle Mode]] is reused for the countdown jingle in this game. Some of Luigi's, Princess Peach's, and Toadette's voice clips are reused from this game.
*''[[Mario Party 10]]'': Toadette's artwork is taken from this game.
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': The Airship tileset is taken from this game. The axes at the end of a castle courses function the same as the axe from this game, rather than a button in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. The [[Key]] design is also taken from this game. Many objects use their appearance from the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'': An event based on this game was held from November 20, 2023 to March 15, 2024, where the [[Coin Rush Star]] in Toad Rally was replaced by a Wonder Flower, which transformed all coins into [[Gold Goomba]]s and [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coins]] into flower coins. The Stamp Cards for the event used stamps based on the Elephant Fruit, Drill Mushroom, Wonder Flower, Wonder Seed, and flower coin.
*''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'': An event themed after this game included nine missions to complete, with every three missions completed awarding the player with statues based on [[Patissiere Peach]], [[Swordfighter Peach]], and Peach with Stella. Sparkle Theater is also referenced in the Peach with Stella statue flavor text.
*''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]]): An event themed after this game was held from May 23, 2024 to June 27, 2024, which included nine missions to complete, with every three missions completed awarding the player with statues based on [[Mario]], [[Goombella]], and [[Koops]].
*''[[Luigi's Mansion 2 HD]]'': An event themed after this game was held from June 28, 2024 to August 1, 2024, which includes nine missions to complete, with every three missions completed awarding the player with statues based on Luigi (with the [[Poltergust 5000]]), [[King Boo]], and Luigi chasing [[Polterpup]].
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'': An event themed after this game was held from November 7, 2024 to December 19, 2024, which includes nine missions to complete, with every three missions completed awarding the player with statues based on Mario (with [[Connie]]), Luigi (with [[Snoutlet]]), and the titular brothers. Aside from this, the flavor texts for the first and third statues directly and indirectly reference [[Shipshape Island]] and [[Concordia]], respectively (the latter as "islands adrift in the currents").
*''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'': An event themed after this game was held on December 19, 2024 to January 30, 2025, which includes 3 mission cards with 9 missions to complete each. The mission cards are based on the boards [[Rainbow Galleria]], [[Goomba Lagoon]], and [[King Bowser's Keep]]. Every three missions completed awards the player with 20x Rally Tickets (10x each for the Galleria mission card and Lagoon mission card), Mario at the Party (Rainbow Galleria), Peach at the Party (Rainbow Galleria), a Gold Goomba statue (Goomba Lagoon), Bowser at the Party (Goomba Lagoon), and gold versions of each of the "at the Party" statues (King Bowser's Keep). Mario at the Party's flavor text indirectly alludes to Goomba Lagoon as "an island resort." Likewise, the flavor text for the Gold Bowser at the Party Statue alludes to the minigame Short Stack Chef.

==References in later games==
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'': Some of Toadette's animations, such as her "Course Cleared" animation, are reused in this game.
*''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'': Event tokens resemble [[Bonus Medal]]s in this game, emitting the same sound effect when collected.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'': The game has a very similar playable roster. Other than the inclusion of Nabbit, the differences are the presence of [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad]] instead of the [[Toad|red-capped one]], the inclusion of Light-Blue Yoshi, and the absence of the Purple and Blue Yoshis. The Jet Run badge makes the characters continuously dash like the core gameplay of this game, but faster paced. [[Invincible Mario]] can attract nearby coins like in this game.
