It’s about time. Android users will be able to get their hands on Nintendo’s debut mobile title Super Mario Run from March 23 – but for those who are super eager, there’s also the ability to pre-register right now.
Super Mario Run originally released for iOS devices last December. It quickly went on to break App Store records and earn the title of second most downloaded app of 2016 worldwide. Even though Super Mario Run didn’t strictly adhere to the free to play model, requiring players to dish out $9.99 USD in order to experience the whole shebang, Nintendo still managed to bring home $30 million USD.
Nintendo argued that it was necessary to delay the release of the Android version until now due to stability reasons. This decision arguably gave rise to copycat APK files, and even a fake Super Mario Run game called Super Plumber Run.
Super Mario Run comes with three different game modes:
- World Tour
