Honestly a kinda underrated game. Paying once and getting the full experience is such a good way to make mobile game. Although it could have been cheaper 10 dollars is still pretty fair. I'm happy they didn't fill it to the brim with microtransactions like mario kart tour lol
For me the issue is not the price, the real issue is that, for a paid game it is pretty annoying for the game to only work connected to the internet. I understand on free to play titles because there is a need to load ads, but on Super Mario Run case it was only done because Nintendo was afraid of piracy
15:51 Nintendo has stopped supporting Super Mario Run in Vietnam in the late 2021. That means I (and others who are in Vietnam) will not be able to download it from Google Play Store and App Store. Anyone who has the older version is forced to update in order to continue playing, but as I said, it is impossible to do it officially (in Vietnam). So I tried updating the game using the external sources, suck as APK Mirror. It did work, but not for long. The same thing happened to Mario Kart Tour then. Edit: I wrote this because I am ALSO a huge fan of Super Mario series. Some of my friends loved Mario too, and this action really pissed them off, since Nintendo just really doesn't pay much attention to my country. They AT LEAST did it in Southeast Asia, but why not Vietnam? That... is just unfair.
@@Andre217 I did try, but its result is an error. For whatever reason, Nintendo might not have interest in Vietnam's game marketing, plus the customer service and online server are nowhere to be found in my country so yeah. Even the Nintendo Switch consoles and the Game Cards can't be localized in Vietnam, which is more than a pain in the ass.
I honestly really like Mario Run's console game style of pricing with just one single payment and you have the game. I think 10 bucks is honestly completely fair for the game, especially now (idk about at launch), and I love that it's the only payment in the entire game, having ads or microtransactions would have completely ruined the feel of polish honestly and would have just been annoying, I don't like seeing those in games. I'd much rather pay once and have a full ad-less and microtransaction-less game than have it be free-to-play but filled with ads and microtransactions, it's sad no one else apparently thought the same though, and now we have the crap of Mario Kart Tour's pricing.
the main reason $10 was kind of a lot at launch was because the remix 10 mode didn't exist. it was added after, and to me it adds a significant amount of content, in addition to the already decently large story mode.
@DICC SUCCER I agree with that, but I think tour should have a one time payment option to unlock everything (or unlock the ABILITY to unlock things by playing) like a console game
I agree but if the game lacks ads, it should allow me to play disconnected like any app with "no ads" options. Nintendo just did this because they were afraid of piracy
I remember trying the demo and being turned off by the toad tickets. This prompted me to do other research and I saw the always online requirement, which prompted me to delete the demo and never consider the game again.
How are people in this day and age struggling to keep an internet connection? I’m not some huge proponent of “always online” play but on my phone, unless I’m on a plane, it’s almost unnoticeable.

I feel like the game would do better if it was sale more often. I only seen it on sale for $5. That being said, for what it is, it's an okay game and it's definitely better than Mario Kart Tour. Also, I didn't knew the Remix 10 was sung by Daisy lol

Oh my goodness. When I first heard you starting the internet only rant, I thought "well, I have constant internet connection even on the go so that isn't a big deal", but then you mentioned that the game runs on a server, which will eventually be cut for good, and THERE, I got the chills. I was shocked. I never, ever even considered the possibility of Mario Run being shut down, and this makes me incredibly sad, because I'm a big fan of the game and seeing it go would be a genuinely sad moment for me. Even after playing through the game, enjoying it, and assuming I knew everything about it, this video tore down my certainties one by one. From now on I will definitely pick it up again and enjoy it while I can. Thank you, unknown channel I just discovered via the RUclips algorithm.
Most mobile games run on a server which results in internet connection and giving the game updates , Nintendo is a huge company and even tho mario run does not give much updates or anything like Mario kart tour, I’m sure it’s long away from shutting servers, there’s been gatcha games who survived more then 8 years now which is amazing
For me a Nintendo game on phone for just $10... nothing to think about. I played it and quickly loved the different control implementation. I got it at launch, and still playing it. They added a few things, more levels with the remix, separate world and tubes, special tubes with extra levels. The game is not just killing bowser at the end, like you said you can keep playing, get more characters to be able to collect the special coins, the rally section is very fun, and a lot of people still playing the game. Not only that, they are using that game to promote things, recently they mentioned the Mario movie on it. My opinion is... $10, that is a great price for a game that you can enjoy for a long time. Hopefully is they kill the server we would get a modified offline version. They should allow the people to keep playing it even without the rally. They can set an AI for the rally. Great video, very professional and fair review.
The freeplay music feature and Daisy FINALLY being playable in... somewhat of a mainline Mario really were neat highlights of this game. Shows that when Mario is allowed at least a crumb of creativity, he can do some fun things still.
I liked this game. This autorunner kind of 2D Mario felt fresh. And playing as Yoshi and Daisy is interesting. I really, really hope someone can somehow manage to actually download the complete game, because I would hate not to be able to play it anymore when Nintendo shuts it down. I mean, I paid for the full game smh. I want to still be able to play it in the far future.
We probably won't get a paid version anytime soon. I tried finding one and every website always has either a fake app, a virus, or unpaid version of the game. I don't know if people are intentionally scamming us or Nintendo was smart to make their games very secured and difficult to hack.
I actually remember that event when Super Mario Run was announced and was excited for it. What bothers me is that you technically have to buy the game to go through all 8 worlds (yes it's free to download, I meant the levels you have to pay for. I'm glad Dr. Mario World and Mario Kart Tour aren't like this). The gameplay was good and I was surprised by the amount of new content and features that was added at the time. Some people might've seen me be a bit harsh on this lately (I didn't mean to if out seem that way) but it's not that I hate this game. I still find it fun after not playing it for so long. I noticed when looking into the app recently, it didn't update much. There could've been more worlds and characters like in Dr. Mario World. But yeah it's an alright game and it's less than $5 if anyone's wondering how much you need to purchase the last 6 worlds. I was happy to see Daisy and more alternate colored Yoshis in the game. I don't know if Super Mario Run is canon though.
@@ElectroBlastLuigi technically not, free to play is the whole game free with micro transactions as a option, you run out of the free worlds and made to pay the 10 dollars to continue it, truly not free to play
It'd be cool if you did a review of the e-reader stages in Super Mario Advance 4 as its own game. Is the closest thing to an original Mario platformer on the GBA, and similar to New Super Luigi U, the game is harder and each stage features a very memorable concept. I suspect that was done to justify the $3 pricetag each level had originally, a really steep price, but now the whole thing can be purchased in the Wii U's virtual console, so that's good. The game even has rumble support, so if you play it with the EZ-Omega Definitive Edition, you'll get that extra feature.
Boy was the Remix 10 update a good day for Daisy fans, including yours truly~ Someone should make a sequel game. There's definitely a lot of potential for it!
I legitimately think this game is good. One of the few mobile games I enjoyed and the idea of being able to purchase the game and just enjoy the entire thing is great. I’m not a fan of micro transactions at all lol
Exactly. And I think Nintendo made the right move and didn’t put digital controls on the game. The game is simple but it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
@@carlrygwelski586 why?? Mario Maker has (pretty much) infinite levels and if it's your thing you can make your own. It has super worlds and there are many classic levels that are similar to .U ones
@@CasperNotGhost because I like to play games from start to finish, I enjoy completing them. Sandbox games are fun but I'm not looking to immerse myself in custom content. If I bought the game for a good deal I would like to try the campaign levels
Very good Video Demeech! I enjoyed it a lot! I'm actually one if those Players who actually did unlock Red Yoshi! I started playing the game in March of 2017 because that's when it released on Android and I didn't unlock him till 2019 I believe. All I did was grind the 1,000 yellow toads playing desert levels and after that I just played everything else and eventually got 9999 Toads. It took quite a bit. I didn't play constantly and everyday though I spaced it out. The game is great overall. My grioes with it are: No Forest Levels for Toad Rally Having to be online at all times to play I can't really think of anything else to complain about lol. I'm pleased it was a one time purchase and I own it forever!
I enjoy it The two things that bother me though, is that you need to pay to progress in the story And the game àlways crashes just when I'm doing an insane rally run, èvery time. Just poof, black screen all of a sudden and then it restarts, and I lose Toads..
Nice job giving your take on this game, Demeech. One thing you forgot to mention is that Peach is also playable, playing similarly to how she did in 3D World (and much better than Peachette in NSMBUDX, I might add). Failing that, the notion that this game could very well join the ever-increasing list of lost Nintendo games should Nintendo ever 86 the servers is pretty upsetting, as this game has a very unique gameplay style unlike anything else in the main Mario series. Plus, it was Daisy's first appearance in a mainline Mario game since her debut (unless you count her Mystery Mushroom costume from Super Mario Maker), which was pretty awesome all things considered. The only thing that would've made the roster better is if Rosalina was playable, thus reuniting all of the 3D World playable characters sans Captain Toad and allowing for the largest roster of a mainline Mario game.
I recently bought this game for my 6 year old who is on a Mario obsession spree and gave it a go myself and ended up loving it. It is a shame it was a flop for Nintendo because they made a hidden gem imo. An auto runner Mario sounds like it defeats the purpose of Mario but they made it work. It has plenty of challenge to 100% and it is a perfect mobile game in terms of size of levels and the like. I would have loved seeing an improved and a bit bigger sequel in scope but oh well. I'm glad I discovered it! I see a lot of comparison to Mario Kart Tour (I pay the sub for it) and I don't see it. Completely different games from their conception so I dont see much comparison to be had. I'm just gonna say that I've had a lot of fun in both.
I'm glad to see somebody talk about this game. A few phones ago I downloaded this game and thought it was completely worth it to only have to spend $10 for an entire game instead of having to deal with all those damn micro transactions. There are too many smartphone games out there that just quite frankly are not fun to play because you have to wait for hours just to be allowed to play again or make progress at a level or whatever the case may be unless you spend some money to do that. Nobody's going to want to spend money every single time. I played this game on the Android version by the way. Also there's just one thing I would like to suggest next time you upload footage of a smartphone game that does not have landscape mode and it's forced to do portrait mode. I don't know what you use for editing, but when I've used Premiere Pro to try to edit videos to a point where they can be used as a short I have changed the the dimensions so that it would fit the screen size required for a short period if you did that for the screen size of your video, I think it would make it easier to see everything that's on screen. Yes phone viewers would have to watch this video in portrait mode like the have to play the game in that mode, but it's just a suggestion. Obviously you don't have to. This is still a great video and you explained everything really well. As far as I know there is supposed to be a way to keep the save data from one phone to the next but I just never bothered it with it for some reason. I kind of wish I did, but oh well. It's been years since I played this game now.
I unlocked everything in this game except Red Yoshi. At the time that I unlokced everything, I was only 20% of the way to the goal. Ridiculous doesn't even beging to describe it. That was even AFTER playing 300 Remix 10 courses to get Daisy. What killed the game for me was the seeming bug that you could actually lose Toads from Toad Rally. The better you did, the more you lost. If they fixed that one thing, I'd probably go back and get Red Yoshi. But losing 300 Toads by being 2 seconds behind the ghost player is a real buzzkill.
I wholeheartedly agree that remix 10's music is a bop And honestly I find the starman theme is best in any mario game by far, maybe tied with the one from origami king
It's kinda sad that Super Mario Run failed to meet expectations for Nintendo. I heard originally Nintendo wanted to make all their mobile games a one-time payment fee, but with the underperformance of Super Mario Run, and Fire Emblem Heroes making so much money, Nintendo abandon their one-time payment mindest and decided to make all their mobile games free-to-play.
Just found this channel a few days ago, and am surprised how relatively small the channel is! This is great stuff dude! Unsolicited opinion of a new subscriber, but just my take; it's annoying scrolling through your upload catalog with the amount of shorts you post. Maybe this is just me, but I think your strongest content by far are your video essays, and personally I think you're doing yourself a disservice uploading such a large amount of shorts to this channel. Your long form content seems to be what you're best at and what most audiences are watching you for (judging by the numbers on your recent New Super Mario Bros essay series). I'm aware you have playlists, the 'Trash or Treasure' one is really handy, but I think it'd be better if you split most of your shorts off into your second channel 'Mini Meech' and had a clearer focus on your video essays and editorials here. That's not to say don't post any shorts here, but I think it'd be better if they were less often and most of your future shorts are posted on another channel if you want to keep making as many as you do currently. Again, this is just an unsolicted opinion from a stranger who only recently found you. Perhaps your regular audience craves the shorts and the channel would plummet without them, I'm by no means an expert after finding your channel 4 days ago. But maybe my thoughts echo other recent subscribers and potential future ones. Obviously do what is best for your channel! Again, awesome stuff, and looking forward to more!
I don't know how it compares to Mario Kart Tour, but I've watched Animal Crossing Pocket Camp fall more and more into microtransactions since its release. They now are at the level of multistage subscription services for in-game perks... it's just sad
Love this game, love that I paid for it once and I got access to the offered content. No gotchya mechanics, no pay to win crap, nothing like that. It's Mario, on your phone, with a simple control method and it's great!
Welp, I just don’t wanna pay $10. It could be the greatest video game in the world. I just don’t wanna pay $10 to play a game on my phone when there are a bunch of free options.
14:15 technically when u mod the game u can play it offline, i also was very disappointed when i saw that u couldn’t play it offline normally but it’s still a very great game and i definitely was hyped :D!!
I'm sorta surprised that you didn't mention the gacha mechanic in remix 10 (the bonus game and super bonus game) which btw is the only way to obtain certain buildings and decorations (such as the nintendo switch statue).It's interily luck based wether or not you'll get a new building or decorationsmeaning it can take many tries/pulls to get a new building/decoration making it a pain to fully fill out the notebook
It’s good, little pricey for the full version but it’s not as bad as tour ALSO IM STILL SAYING THAT SUPER MARIO RUN IS NOT APART OF THE NEW SUPER SERIES, it’s Just a Mario game on mobile
Honestly if the game added some actual challenge instead of just the different colored coins you’d have to collect, and the fact you’d have to hand over ten dollars, which is an absurd price for a mobile game, and one i’ve only seen happen in one other game, then it’d be a decent game. But my problem is that it got repetitive after the first level. It’s just like “oh it’s just the tutorial level, but without all the dialogue, and they shifted the blocks a little”. The game feels more like a cheap cash grab than an actual game
I never minded that it has s price tag. I never bothered with this game due to the constant need to be online. When this game was released I was on the train pretty much every day. Perfect for playing such a game... or not, because like 80-90% of the route had no service.
Demeech, I'd recommend you play Undertale. It's a hilarious indie game about morality, it's the game with the funny skeleton, there are no paper toads, and most importantly, it's not Pac Man for the atari 3600. Plus, I could give you some tips for the game.
Well the fact that people didn't buy mario run is kinda what made em go "Yeah this doesn't work... microtransaction time!", but to be fair, 10 bucks is a lil too much for a mobile game, at 4,99 or 5,99, it would have been way better.
I spent *so much time* on the Remix 10 mode in SMR, but I still have no idea whether I was playing against real replays of other people or bots. I’d have happily bought expansions for the game if any had been offered and felt better about it than the endless money pit Mario Kart Tour became if you tried to rank up quickly.
I think Super Mario Run was like an experimental first release of Nintendo game in mobiles phones. Later It will be more like the famous japanese mobile game's system: gacha and paid-gems system, like Mario Kart Tour. The paid content from Super Mario Run was similar to the DLC of New Super Mario Bros 2. Maybe it is hard to pay for something that is somehow recycled...?
Nintendo can easily update the game add new levels, characters etc...they simply choose not too they stole everyone’s $10 n resumed focus towards odyssey😂 Now Mario 3D Land NEEDS to be ur next video🙏🏽
@@gamingnubs7628 So you rather have an empty have that rarely updates and barely adds anything? I got back to playing this game last year for a bit after 5+ years and the only stuff I've seen added in SMRun was whatever those statues were for Peach's Kingdom that celebrated Mario's 35th anniversary. The last major update I recall had a music box and when Daisy was available and that was like a year after that game launched.
@@ElectroBlastLuigi or you rather have ads and making monthly payments for the same content you mentioned? Tour had terrible monetisation, which would have been applied to Run if it still got supported.
@@gamingnubs7628 You're not forced to make monthly payments to progress through a mobile game. None of Nintendo's mobile games have ads and still make profit from the company as well as anybody that chose to pay for something within the game (don't say I proved your point), and you're only saying Tour has bad monetization because of OPTIONAL microtransactions, hence gamers having the option to buy in-app purchases. Just stick to buying console DLC microtransactions that you pay hundreds of dollars just for a piranha plant or something. This microtransaction argument is very annoying and it wasn't an issue back in 2009.
what annoys me is the Console Experience should always rhein supreme. Yet, you need to get the mobile game to play different viarity of character instead of a recolor of another Toad. Honestly, I wonder why Nintendo don't release a 2D type version of Mario Oddessey just with power ups and the ability to switch up characters. It could be a game like Kirby and the Amazing Mirrors, a very underrated Kirby game, where you explore and slowly optain more and more of a map. You don't need to find all the items but a certain amount to unlock the access to various boss rooms. It would take so much linearity away from the game and add so much replay value.
I notice you forgot to mention that Peach is playable in Super Mario Run after you finish the main final stage on Level 8. And I wish this game got some more love
I remember playng a bunch of this game in 2016 when it first came out,hoever i stop playng this game in may of 2017 since i discoverd that if you want to play all of the levels you gotta pay 10 actully dollars
The problem of this game was teh lack of support from Nintendo. They could have keep adding new levels, but they did that only once with the Star World.
This game is a lot of fun to play, however i cannot justify the 10$ price tag considering how incredibly short the main game mode is. Even if you collect all the hidden coins and unlock the extra pipes, the game still feels like it's missing something and leaves me wanting for more content. I'm 100% certain the game would have made more profit if the Greetendo dropped the price at 5$
Nintendo recently discontinued service for Dr. Mario World on mobile and that pisses me off. I was barely 25% through the game and it was online only so too bad for all the fans.
I actually managed to unlock Daisy without paying the game and it was tedious as fuck, I did it in like 5+ months because of the F2P cooldown. But it was worth it for Daisy
I’m sorry but I’m not paying 10$ for a runner mobile game that can’t be played offline and doesn’t have an endless mode or something like that Nice vid as always, Demeech
Maybe I should get back into Mario Run. Toad Rally and Remix 10 are still fun, so I didn't have to pay to have fun. I should also buy a Play Store card. It still sucks that you have to use LTE though.
The game is actually good! I paid for it some years back. I have completed the game pretty many times. Only thing i hate about the game is collecting those pink, purple and black coins lmao
Honestly Super Mario Run being always online is the only reason i didn't buy it. This is why I emulate games on my phone can always play those offline.
Daisy is able to be won by f2p players, which is also why tickets are a thing. I suppose it will make you understand why they are more tedious than the rest now!
Honestly a kinda underrated game. Paying once and getting the full experience is such a good way to make mobile game. Although it could have been cheaper 10 dollars is still pretty fair. I'm happy they didn't fill it to the brim with microtransactions like mario kart tour lol
I'm honestly fine with the $10 full game purchase now, although before i thought it was such a ripoff and a bad move by Nintendo.
I miss when several mobile games were good from 2000 to 2014, honestly, companies are at a loss, and the only way to profit is with microtransactions.
Eather that or paying for no ads being the only micro transaction is the best way to make a mobile game
For me the issue is not the price, the real issue is that, for a paid game it is pretty annoying for the game to only work connected to the internet.

Honestly I could see a mario game on mobile working well, if its something like mario party or a minigame collection in the style of sm64ds/ nsmbds.
I liked this game. This autorunner kind of 2D Mario felt fresh. And playing as Yoshi and Daisy is interesting. I really, really hope someone can somehow manage to actually download the complete game, because I would hate not to be able to play it anymore when Nintendo shuts it down. I mean, I paid for the full game smh. I want to still be able to play it in the far future.
We probably won't get a paid version anytime soon. I tried finding one and every website always has either a fake app, a virus, or unpaid version of the game. I don't know if people are intentionally scamming us or Nintendo was smart to make their games very secured and difficult to hack.
It may be forgotten, but I do remember being so excited for it leading up to the launch
Man, I love that you just say your puns. No "cmon guys it wasn't THAT bad" or anything, just the pun. It's weird how rare that seems to be on RUclips.
Calling it that it went under the radar is so ridiculous when it was downloaded 300 million times
I actually remember that event when Super Mario Run was announced and was excited for it. What bothers me is that you technically have to buy the game to go through all 8 worlds (yes it's free to download, I meant the levels you have to pay for. I'm glad Dr. Mario World and Mario Kart Tour aren't like this). The gameplay was good and I was surprised by the amount of new content and features that was added at the time. Some people might've seen me be a bit harsh on this lately (I didn't mean to if out seem that way) but it's not that I hate this game. I still find it fun after not playing it for so long. I noticed when looking into the app recently, it didn't update much. There could've been more worlds and characters like in Dr. Mario World. But yeah it's an alright game and it's less than $5 if anyone's wondering how much you need to purchase the last 6 worlds. I was happy to see Daisy and more alternate colored Yoshis in the game. I don't know if Super Mario Run is canon though.
Nintendo puts more priority in their mobile games for Mario Kart and 2D Mario
So you’re basically arguing for the free to play model…
@@leeartlee915 SMRun is free to play...
@@ElectroBlastLuigi Don’t you need to pay $10 to unlock the levels?
@@ElectroBlastLuigi technically not, free to play is the whole game free with micro transactions as a option, you run out of the free worlds and made to pay the 10 dollars to continue it, truly not free to play
It'd be cool if you did a review of the e-reader stages in Super Mario Advance 4 as its own game.
Is the closest thing to an original Mario platformer on the GBA, and similar to New Super Luigi U, the game is harder and each stage features a very memorable concept.
I suspect that was done to justify the $3 pricetag each level had originally, a really steep price, but now the whole thing can be purchased in the Wii U's virtual console, so that's good.
The game even has rumble support, so if you play it with the EZ-Omega Definitive Edition, you'll get that extra feature.
Boy was the Remix 10 update a good day for Daisy fans, including yours truly~
Someone should make a sequel game. There's definitely a lot of potential for it!
Honestly building your own mushroom kingdom doesn’t sound like a bad idea for a Mario game they could put on the eshop for like $20
I paid for this game 5 years ago, but didn't start to actually appreciate it till recently. Underrated for sure.
fun game that i still play, has plenty of content for a fairly cheap mobile game without microtransactions.
I legitimately think this game is good. One of the few mobile games I enjoyed and the idea of being able to purchase the game and just enjoy the entire thing is great. I’m not a fan of micro transactions at all lol
Exactly. And I think Nintendo made the right move and didn’t put digital controls on the game. The game is simple but it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
„Most forgotten”
Super Mario Bros Special: *am i a joke to you?*
I do wish that Nintendo gave it more levels.
I also feel that Nintendo should put their legacy content on mobile but that’s just me.
0:53 This really saddens me as well. The fact that people go for a mediocre port instead of a game that has HOURS of fun is crazy to me
I'd rather play Deluxe than Mario Maker. I see no point of spending money on maker.
@@carlrygwelski586 why?? Mario Maker has (pretty much) infinite levels and if it's your thing you can make your own. It has super worlds and there are many classic levels that are similar to .U ones
@@CasperNotGhost because I like to play games from start to finish, I enjoy completing them. Sandbox games are fun but I'm not looking to immerse myself in custom content. If I bought the game for a good deal I would like to try the campaign levels

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
Very good Video Demeech! I enjoyed it a lot! I'm actually one if those Players who actually did unlock Red Yoshi! I started playing the game in March of 2017 because that's when it released on Android and I didn't unlock him till 2019 I believe. All I did was grind the 1,000 yellow toads playing desert levels and after that I just played everything else and eventually got 9999 Toads. It took quite a bit. I didn't play constantly and everyday though I spaced it out. The game is great overall. My grioes with it are:
No Forest Levels for Toad Rally
Having to be online at all times to play
I can't really think of anything else to complain about lol. I'm pleased it was a one time purchase and I own it forever!
I forgot how hard it was to get red yoshi when I got it a long time ago
I enjoy it
The two things that bother me though, is that you need to pay to progress in the story
And the game àlways crashes just when I'm doing an insane rally run, èvery time. Just poof, black screen all of a sudden and then it restarts, and I lose Toads..
Same i cant even control
6:03 You gotta appreciate how he puts super Mario Bros 2 USA theme when talking about other characters ability a feature in the super Mario Bros 2 usa
12:42 "Look I love mario games, but I also love life." 😂
that 'crack' joke absolutely suckerpunched me, well done
Nice job giving your take on this game, Demeech. One thing you forgot to mention is that Peach is also playable, playing similarly to how she did in 3D World (and much better than Peachette in NSMBUDX, I might add). Failing that, the notion that this game could very well join the ever-increasing list of lost Nintendo games should Nintendo ever 86 the servers is pretty upsetting, as this game has a very unique gameplay style unlike anything else in the main Mario series. Plus, it was Daisy's first appearance in a mainline Mario game since her debut (unless you count her Mystery Mushroom costume from Super Mario Maker), which was pretty awesome all things considered. The only thing that would've made the roster better is if Rosalina was playable, thus reuniting all of the 3D World playable characters sans Captain Toad and allowing for the largest roster of a mainline Mario game.
This might be my favorite Mario game in terms of mechanics and gameplay
The fact that you just ignored the fact that peach is also playable just because you don't like her is really unesasarry tbh
I did it to avoid spoilers
Yay im in a Mario game and honestly never expected that
I recently bought this game for my 6 year old who is on a Mario obsession spree and gave it a go myself and ended up loving it. It is a shame it was a flop for Nintendo because they made a hidden gem imo. An auto runner Mario sounds like it defeats the purpose of Mario but they made it work. It has plenty of challenge to 100% and it is a perfect mobile game in terms of size of levels and the like. I would have loved seeing an improved and a bit bigger sequel in scope but oh well. I'm glad I discovered it!
I see a lot of comparison to Mario Kart Tour (I pay the sub for it) and I don't see it. Completely different games from their conception so I dont see much comparison to be had. I'm just gonna say that I've had a lot of fun in both.
I'm glad to see somebody talk about this game. A few phones ago I downloaded this game and thought it was completely worth it to only have to spend $10 for an entire game instead of having to deal with all those damn micro transactions. There are too many smartphone games out there that just quite frankly are not fun to play because you have to wait for hours just to be allowed to play again or make progress at a level or whatever the case may be unless you spend some money to do that. Nobody's going to want to spend money every single time.
I played this game on the Android version by the way. Also there's just one thing I would like to suggest next time you upload footage of a smartphone game that does not have landscape mode and it's forced to do portrait mode. I don't know what you use for editing, but when I've used Premiere Pro to try to edit videos to a point where they can be used as a short I have changed the the dimensions so that it would fit the screen size required for a short period if you did that for the screen size of your video, I think it would make it easier to see everything that's on screen. Yes phone viewers would have to watch this video in portrait mode like the have to play the game in that mode, but it's just a suggestion. Obviously you don't have to.
This is still a great video and you explained everything really well. As far as I know there is supposed to be a way to keep the save data from one phone to the next but I just never bothered it with it for some reason. I kind of wish I did, but oh well. It's been years since I played this game now.
I had hours of enjoyment playing this game when it came out. They made perfect use of a touch screen to make an engaging and challenging game.
I unlocked everything in this game except Red Yoshi. At the time that I unlokced everything, I was only 20% of the way to the goal. Ridiculous doesn't even beging to describe it. That was even AFTER playing 300 Remix 10 courses to get Daisy. What killed the game for me was the seeming bug that you could actually lose Toads from Toad Rally. The better you did, the more you lost. If they fixed that one thing, I'd probably go back and get Red Yoshi. But losing 300 Toads by being 2 seconds behind the ghost player is a real buzzkill.
I wholeheartedly agree that remix 10's music is a bop
And honestly I find the starman theme is best in any mario game by far, maybe tied with the one from origami king
It's kinda sad that Super Mario Run failed to meet expectations for Nintendo. I heard originally Nintendo wanted to make all their mobile games a one-time payment fee, but with the underperformance of Super Mario Run, and Fire Emblem Heroes making so much money, Nintendo abandon their one-time payment mindest and decided to make all their mobile games free-to-play.
Just found this channel a few days ago, and am surprised how relatively small the channel is! This is great stuff dude!
Unsolicited opinion of a new subscriber, but just my take; it's annoying scrolling through your upload catalog with the amount of shorts you post. Maybe this is just me, but I think your strongest content by far are your video essays, and personally I think you're doing yourself a disservice uploading such a large amount of shorts to this channel. Your long form content seems to be what you're best at and what most audiences are watching you for (judging by the numbers on your recent New Super Mario Bros essay series). I'm aware you have playlists, the 'Trash or Treasure' one is really handy, but I think it'd be better if you split most of your shorts off into your second channel 'Mini Meech' and had a clearer focus on your video essays and editorials here. That's not to say don't post any shorts here, but I think it'd be better if they were less often and most of your future shorts are posted on another channel if you want to keep making as many as you do currently.
Again, this is just an unsolicted opinion from a stranger who only recently found you. Perhaps your regular audience craves the shorts and the channel would plummet without them, I'm by no means an expert after finding your channel 4 days ago. But maybe my thoughts echo other recent subscribers and potential future ones. Obviously do what is best for your channel!
Again, awesome stuff, and looking forward to more!
i think the most forgotten mario game i know is that game titled mario world that came with the 3rd edition of that famicom keyboard
I don't know how it compares to Mario Kart Tour, but I've watched Animal Crossing Pocket Camp fall more and more into microtransactions since its release. They now are at the level of multistage subscription services for in-game perks... it's just sad
i loved that game, still have a little town with the whole game finished sitting around on my old ipad
6:58 Waluigi looks ridicilously adorable in that Yoshi costume
Love this game, love that I paid for it once and I got access to the offered content. No gotchya mechanics, no pay to win crap, nothing like that. It's Mario, on your phone, with a simple control method and it's great!
Welp, I just don’t wanna pay $10. It could be the greatest video game in the world. I just don’t wanna pay $10 to play a game on my phone when there are a bunch of free options.
You just made me remember that I unlocked all the gold statues on there and stopped playing after that-
Always online makes me think that somebody was watching E3 2012 Microsoft's presentation.
14:15 technically when u mod the game u can play it offline, i also was very disappointed when i saw that u couldn’t play it offline normally but it’s still a very great game and i definitely was hyped :D!!
I'm sorta surprised that you didn't mention the gacha mechanic in remix 10 (the bonus game and super bonus game) which btw is the only way to obtain certain buildings and decorations (such as the nintendo switch statue).It's interily luck based wether or not you'll get a new building or decorationsmeaning it can take many tries/pulls to get a new building/decoration making it a pain to fully fill out the notebook
Mans getting really creative with these titles lol XD
(By that I mean the title on the thumbnail)
If this game didn’t need an internet connection it would be a lot better. MK Tour would be better too if it didn’t need online
Can I just say though that it is nice to see Peach finally go on one of these adventures for once!
It’s good, little pricey for the full version but it’s not as bad as tour
ALSO IM STILL SAYING THAT SUPER MARIO RUN IS NOT APART OF THE NEW SUPER SERIES, it’s Just a Mario game on mobile
*I'm not a fun of runners, in general I barely play mobile games besides FGO, I can't imagine myself moving from PC to any other platform*
Honestly if the game added some actual challenge instead of just the different colored coins you’d have to collect, and the fact you’d have to hand over ten dollars, which is an absurd price for a mobile game, and one i’ve only seen happen in one other game, then it’d be a decent game. But my problem is that it got repetitive after the first level. It’s just like “oh it’s just the tutorial level, but without all the dialogue, and they shifted the blocks a little”. The game feels more like a cheap cash grab than an actual game
Hmm its 4 dollars in my country
I never minded that it has s price tag. I never bothered with this game due to the constant need to be online. When this game was released I was on the train pretty much every day. Perfect for playing such a game... or not, because like 80-90% of the route had no service.
6:56 LMFAO I love this part so much!
It's really fun to play. Plus you can collect My Nintendo platinum coins in order to exchange them for prices.
Demeech, I'd recommend you play Undertale. It's a hilarious indie game about morality, it's the game with the funny skeleton, there are no paper toads, and most importantly, it's not Pac Man for the atari 3600. Plus, I could give you some tips for the game.
I am now playing the game just because of Remix 10
Well the fact that people didn't buy mario run is kinda what made em go "Yeah this doesn't work... microtransaction time!", but to be fair, 10 bucks is a lil too much for a mobile game, at 4,99 or 5,99, it would have been way better.
"Yoshi can flutterjump, and he can walk on spikes! Toadette is kinda useless..." Damn Demeech, did her dirty lol
I spent *so much time* on the Remix 10 mode in SMR, but I still have no idea whether I was playing against real replays of other people or bots. I’d have happily bought expansions for the game if any had been offered and felt better about it than the endless money pit Mario Kart Tour became if you tried to rank up quickly.
I think Super Mario Run was like an experimental first release of Nintendo game in mobiles phones. Later It will be more like the famous japanese mobile game's system: gacha and paid-gems system, like Mario Kart Tour. The paid content from Super Mario Run was similar to the DLC of New Super Mario Bros 2. Maybe it is hard to pay for something that is somehow recycled...?
Nintendo can easily update the game add new levels, characters etc...they simply choose not too they stole everyone’s $10 n resumed focus towards odyssey😂
Now Mario 3D Land NEEDS to be ur next video🙏🏽
This! I just wish Super Mario Run had way more content than it offers. Even Dr Mario World updated to have a ton more content before it shut down.
With how DeNA handled MKTour, im happy SMRun got no additional content, because DeNA would have screwed it up.
@@gamingnubs7628 So you rather have an empty have that rarely updates and barely adds anything? I got back to playing this game last year for a bit after 5+ years and the only stuff I've seen added in SMRun was whatever those statues were for Peach's Kingdom that celebrated Mario's 35th anniversary. The last major update I recall had a music box and when Daisy was available and that was like a year after that game launched.
@@ElectroBlastLuigi or you rather have ads and making monthly payments for the same content you mentioned? Tour had terrible monetisation, which would have been applied to Run if it still got supported.
@@gamingnubs7628 You're not forced to make monthly payments to progress through a mobile game. None of Nintendo's mobile games have ads and still make profit from the company as well as anybody that chose to pay for something within the game (don't say I proved your point), and you're only saying Tour has bad monetization because of OPTIONAL microtransactions, hence gamers having the option to buy in-app purchases. Just stick to buying console DLC microtransactions that you pay hundreds of dollars just for a piranha plant or something. This microtransaction argument is very annoying and it wasn't an issue back in 2009.
3:42 is unhinged
I bet this game would’ve sold more if it were on the switch
Mario run, the game we all played until it asked us to pay and the deleted it instantly.
Mario is missing and the forgotten levels: So I don't exist now huh
what annoys me is the Console Experience should always rhein supreme. Yet, you need to get the mobile game to play different viarity of character instead of a recolor of another Toad.
Honestly, I wonder why Nintendo don't release a 2D type version of Mario Oddessey just with power ups and the ability to switch up characters. It could be a game like Kirby and the Amazing Mirrors, a very underrated Kirby game, where you explore and slowly optain more and more of a map. You don't need to find all the items but a certain amount to unlock the access to various boss rooms.
It would take so much linearity away from the game and add so much replay value.
The Toshiba attract the crowd responding toad colors to the rally by a bit
“And even if something sells well, that’s not an indication of it being good quality”
Cough* Pokémon Sword and Shield Cough*
they could easily try and add a non auto run that supports like some switch controls. there needs to be a bluetooth switch controls
I notice you forgot to mention that Peach is playable in Super Mario Run after you finish the main final stage on Level 8. And I wish this game got some more love
I remember playng a bunch of this game in 2016 when it first came out,hoever i stop playng this game in may of 2017 since i discoverd that if you want to play all of the levels you gotta pay 10 actully dollars
took you five months to realise that...
@@Phelena 💀
@@Phelena LMAO
I'll have u know the U stands for Underappreciated-Banger
Just like this channel :3
I remember having so much hours in to this
The problem of this game was teh lack of support from Nintendo. They could have keep adding new levels, but they did that only once with the Star World.
This game is a lot of fun to play, however i cannot justify the 10$ price tag considering how incredibly short the main game mode is. Even if you collect all the hidden coins and unlock the extra pipes, the game still feels like it's missing something and leaves me wanting for more content.
I'm 100% certain the game would have made more profit if the Greetendo dropped the price at 5$
It's 5 dollars now!
Where can I get the sound when DEMEECH’S FURY activates?
Nintendo recently discontinued service for Dr. Mario World on mobile and that pisses me off. I was barely 25% through the game and it was online only so too bad for all the fans.
I actually managed to unlock Daisy without paying the game and it was tedious as fuck, I did it in like 5+ months because of the F2P cooldown. But it was worth it for Daisy
I’m sorry but I’m not paying 10$ for a runner mobile game that can’t be played offline and doesn’t have an endless mode or something like that
Nice vid as always, Demeech
WE WERE PROMISED MARIO FOREVER
jk, amazing video
6:30 LEAN YOSHI!!! I LOVE LEAN💜💜💜
Shut up
Maybe I should get back into Mario Run. Toad Rally and Remix 10 are still fun, so I didn't have to pay to have fun. I should also buy a Play Store card. It still sucks that you have to use LTE though.
Yes , really true, fricking true
The game is actually good! I paid for it some years back. I have completed the game pretty many times. Only thing i hate about the game is collecting those pink, purple and black coins lmao
I got to the point when they wanted me to pay. I cussed at it a few times and deleted the game. Fucc that crap
Honestly Super Mario Run being always online is the only reason i didn't buy it. This is why I emulate games on my phone can always play those offline.
Daisy is able to be won by f2p players, which is also why tickets are a thing. I suppose it will make you understand why they are more tedious than the rest now!
I'm surprised Mario Run is still playable, since they shut down Dr Mario World after only 2 years
Great content, keep it up!
I mean the game is pretty good and if your a my nintendo member you can earn rewards. I use it for mostly the rewards
Fun fact, there is a very popular German rapper (Symba) who named one of his songs after this game
