Super Mario Run(s) to Android Today

Mario’s iOS honeymoon is over. Nintendo’s iconic videogame character makes his debut on Android devices today in Super Mario Run, more than three months after he first skipped his way onto iOS.

The game finds the lovable hero running forward while you use finger taps to get him to jump over obstacles, avoid enemies, pull off stylish moves, collect coins, and ultimately reach a flagpole to complete a course.

Nintendo lets you sample gameplay before making a one-time payment of $9.99 to gain full, unlimited access to the game.

Super Mario Run was downloaded more than 50 million times during its first week of release and, as of late January, press reports put the number of downloads at around 78 million with less than 10 percent of users paying to unlock the game’s full version.

Android users can download the game here.
