We all knew that Nintendo was looking to get their presence in the mobile market. They’ve several attempts to do so up until this point. With Miitomo, they introduced a social media experience with their own twist to it. When Pokemon Go came along, it was a sure-fire sign that people wanted the Nintendo experience on mobile phones. With Super Mario Run, Mario moves through a level automatically left to right, and he jumps to navigate past obstacles. In addition to that, there’s a Battle Mode that involves jumping and acquiring as many coins as possible before time expires.
