Video Game Super Mario Run Review
Tweet
Super Mario Run (2016) is a running and jumping game you play by tapping the screen to jump. Your character automatically runs and you just tap at the right time to avoid obstacles and jump on enemies. It sounds too simple to be fun but is actually a cleverly designed and challenging game.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Super Mario Run 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 10 weeks ago.
