I feel like Mario Run would have a lot more replay value if one of the modes had an endless run where you need to collect as many coins as possible. Structured sort of like the final boss, it’s Subway Surfers/Temple Run but you move vertically opposed to horizontally. Swiping the screen up or down to move to layers.

I feel like WarioWare would make for a great mobile title. Just short little mini-game blasts that you can kill a little time with. And if they need to do gross money stuff they can sell game packs for like $2 that have a bunch of games in it because they'd all be micro-games. Maybe even include the DIY micro-game creator

I remember the biggest criticism given to this game was that it was too expensive compared to other games, mainly the Rayman runner games which as you said were pretty much the same concept and were like 3 times cheaper.

_Super Mario Run_ is probably most important historically for the unprecedented success of shareholders to put pressure on Nintendo's higher-ups. I imagine they had the exact case you describe in mind: they saw Nintendo as leaving money on the table from app impulse buyers.
12:05 Just to clarify, there are actually three more unlockable screens for kingdom building (accessible south of the screens that Scott displayed) that unlock via rainbow bridges that you can get from the store once you have enough Toads in your kingdom (earned via the "Toad Rally" mode).

I'm ashamed to say I never went beyond the free content on Mario Run, yet a few years later I spent a total of around EUR 150 on the Mario Kart Tour gacha bs.
Super Mario Run is my favorite Nintendo mobile game, mostly because you pay for it and you don’t need to deal with all the bs of other mobile games The game itself it’s fine, it’s fun, it’s a decent challenge
The difference in 3DS Pokemon and Switch is that 3DS Pokemon didn't launch completely broken and bad.
God, I remember when I would grind those Toad Rallies when it released and when the Remix mode happened. I think it's just a fine game now but damn!
My 3 year-old son is just now getting into Mario after the watching the movie, so I got this game for him to play around with. He's pretty bad at it (he's a toddler after all), but its simple enough that he doesn't lose too horribly, and he absolutely loves the dumb thing.
Dr Mario World was easily my favorite of the Nintendo mobile games. Solid puzzle game that I miss so much. I was able to super far into the game without spending any money.

I think they did a pretty good job at making mobile friendly versions of nsmb and Mario kart that isn't just a shitty console port
I personally think SMR is a pretty good time for being a mobile game. It’s actually decently repayable, with Toad Rally pitting you up against the shmoves of others and unlocking buildings in the shop for your kingdom, and Remix 10 sending you through a random assortment of 10 small levels in a row. It’s a pretty simple game, and compared to other mobile games it might not be as expansive, but a simple 2D Mario on your phone is still pretty good. And hey, 10 bucks for the whole thing as opposed to ads and micro transactions is pretty alright compared to many other games on the mobile market.
Super Mario Run is surprisingly really fun! I even preordered the game back in 2016… and I had some fun!
I remember when this game came out. I had it on my IPad because my parents refused to get me a phone until a few years later. I bought the full version and it was pretty awesome! I still play it today… working on maxing out all my toads!

Miitomo, Mario Run, and Pokémon GO were legendary for the very reason that they exist. 2016 really was the year of change. Nintendo never made mobile games before, and they did 3 times in 1 year
I would always play this game a couple years ago. I collected all the star coins and ended up to area 117 in Remix 10.
16:08 rare occurrence of something Scott said ageing like milk now that Mario Kart 8 deluxe has dlc characters.
I love super Mario run I love how the different characters are unique I love how they made Daisy really playable in a non spinoff platformer. Especially before Wonder ruined that I love how each level has different ways to play it too it’s a great game that gets sleep on and I really hope they port it to Switch or something
I still have Mario Run and Mario Kart tour in my phone. I played the others but got bored and uninstalled them. I think that Nintendo was experimenting with the pricing seeing if people would play for a game. I think 10 bucks is good enough for a game that is complete. I think is absurd how people whine for spending 10 dollars on a game but they don't care spending 100 times more in microtransactions. I doubt will see a Mario Run 2. I doubt Nintendo will release mobile games anymore. They did these to survive during the Wiiu/3DS to Switch transition and it worked. They haven't announced new ones and even some were discontinued.
Remix 10 was awesome and so was the fact it came with Daisy as a playable character (iirc you need to reach world 10-13 in Remix 10 to even unlock her)
SCOTT, YOU CAN SWIPE DOWN FOR MORE ISLAND SPACE!!!
Can we talk about how many Nintendo Mobile Games died already? -Dr. Mario World -Pokemon Rumble Rush -Dragalia Lost -Mitomo -Pokemon Duel (never released outside Japan)
I play it daily for the platinum points. It's a fun little game. When I downloaded it happened to be on sale for $4.99, and I thought that was a good price. I told myself I would play the free levels and then decide. I hadn't realized $4.99 was a sale price. Of course once I played the free levels, the sale had ended. If/when it goes on sale again I'll be getting it. Yes there are only six worlds but played in bit sized bits just finishing all of world 1 took me a couple of weeks.
And One More thing !!!!! It woulda been cool if they made a Mario mobile game with Pokémon go features . Like instead of catching Pokémon you have to break bricks , collect coins , meet people in public , defeat goombas etc etc like they could implemented the VR …
I still play it to this day, it's kinda fun to get distracted a bit

This was a magical experience I’d love to see them do a part 2 and get all the artists together and share every step of the process so the artists can see the inspiration and celebrate each other
0:05 okay now this is straight up a Scott the Woz lost episode
I got Super Mario Run for my 4-year-old son last year and he loved it. It was easier for him to play at the time than the Switch games. Now he’s more interested in 3D World and the other games on Switch, but as an entry point, Super Mario Run was a good choice.

This game is really fun. I found doing 100% a fun little challenge, Toad Rally and Remix 10 are fun to do as well. It can get repetitive but they are always fun modes to go back go after some time not playing. The game is very expensive though, although the game does go on sale every now and then so if you were to get it do it then.
It is unfortunate that people weren't that receptive to higher priced mobile games. That forces games on mobile devices to do all of the monetization stuff. Ironically, I bet a lot of people are perfectly okay with spending far more than $10 on microtransactions in free games. Also - I see the price of premium games on phones has gone up. Wingspan is $9.99. Super Mario Run was maybe ahead of its time with its price.

It wasn't the price really (although it contributed a lot), but rather the complexity. I learned when it comes to smartphone games, the simplier it is, the wider the playerbase is. Sega had a similar issue with Sonic Runners, the mobile endless runner made by the core Sonic Team at Sega and marketed as the next big thing to Sonic. It was a great endless runner that had a lot of effort out into it. But the always online, menus, loadings screens, gameplay mechanics and leveling system were too much for casual audiences, who gravitated more towards Sonic Dash, the bog standard temple run reskin made by Hardlight. Sega then shut down Sonic Runners and made Sonic Forces Speed Battle, which was a reskin of Dash, and it was a bigger success.

I still open it up from time to time and play. And I have to say, the ad for this game is one of the best Nintendo has made.
I played this back in the day. It was fine. I was actually happy at the payed model it used, since you could demo the game free, then purchase later if you did like it. If you didn’t like it, then you didn’t lose anything from trying it. Probably the biggest thing I absolutely hated though was the simplified one touch controls. Yeah it made the game easy to play, but it absolutely ruined any sort of intentional, precision platforming. I died/ lost way too many times because of the lack of control.
