Nintendo announced on Tuesday that its upcoming Super Mario Run mobile platformer game will launch on iPhone and iPad on December 15 with a retail price of US$9.99. The company has stated that this is a one-time payment and will grant unlimited access to the game's three modes. The game can also be downloaded at no cost, but players will have limited access to each mode. The game will launch in 151 countries and regions.
Nintendo began streaming a video on Tuesday introducing Super Mario Run's gameplay elements:
Super Mario Run will be similar to other Mario platform games, but playable with one hand. The game will have three modes. "World Tour" is the main gameplay mode featuring six worlds of platforming courses where Mario runs automatically. The "Kingdom Builder" mode will allow players to customize their own kingdom using elements from the Mario series. The game will also have a "Toad Rally" mode for competitive open-ended gameplay (with no flagpole at the end).
Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto revealed the game at Apple's Special Event last September. Nintendo plans to release the game via the App Store for "iOS first."
