"Super Mario" game for iPhone and iPad, has finally come along on Android after a 99-day exclusivity period with Apple, and it's really good.
The "Super Mario Run," game is the first smartphone game of a universal plumber with moustache. It appears like classic 2D Mario and it plays similarly.
But there's just one caution, this is not a game with pixel-perfect jumps and deep challenge. Mario moves from left to right and as foes and obstacles come in his way while making progress. But you don't in fact control the speed or direction of movement of Mario in the game.
Rather, tiny Mario instantly runs from left to right and your job is to tap the screen to take a jump. If you hold after tapping, Mario jumps slightly higher. No swiping, no virtual d-pad on-screen, no Bluetooth game pads connected to your iPhone, iPad or Android phone.
You are more concerned with stamping on enemies and delicately timing your taps to jump at the right moment rather than being anxious about moving Mario forward.
But this doesn't give a fact that "Super Mario Run" is quite easy. It's much easier than the average Mario game, yet, there's still lot of challenge to unfold. If you have played "Super Mario" games, you would find it easy to complete a level in "Super Mario Run" due to the level design of enemy placement.
