Super Mario will be making his mobile debut on ios platforms December 15th with the launch of Super Mario Run.
The game was announced back during the Apple event this Summer and will feature three modes for Mario to play through. The game will start off free with a limited trial of each mode, but then require a full, one time unlock of $9.99 should you wish to play the full game.
“The wait is almost over for a Super Mario game that can be played on mobile devices,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Developed under the direction of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, Super Mario Run brings a new take on the series’ beloved action-platforming gameplay to iPhone and iPad for the first time.”
Super Mario Run is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices running iOS 8.0 or later. Starting on Dec. 15, the game will launch in 151 countries and regions. Super Mario Run supports English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian and traditional Chinese language options.
Super Mario Run is an endless runner of sorts that will let you see how many coins you can collect in a level, challenge the ghost times of your friends as well as make your own levels to try out. It will be available in the App Store beginning December 15th.
