Mario Run Is Good, But...
IoS And Android Mario Run Is Good But...
Yep, i've played this new release on android, Mario Run. As you know, mario and pokemon are both the nintendo mascots, which always save them from f*cked situation, and both of them are good mascots and had a characters. So l, let me say my opinion about this game.
First of all, lemme review about the graphics of this game. And i loved the style of it. Looks so colorful, and could describe the mario world perfectly. I could enjoy the graphics of this game, great.
Now the music, and because ive played mario games since Nes era, so the music of the stage makes me feels nostalgic. And even they remix it with the newest technology, there's so many classical mario themes within. Another great features.
Now the size of the game, with all features above, after i've downloaded this game, and update it, it tooks 232Mb size in my phone, fair enought.
Gameplay
As for gameplay, just like the classic mario, side scrolling platform, but with slightly different. You can't freely control where the mario will run, he will just run straight forward, and all u have to do is tap your phone to make him jump. Simple, and had another challenge because you will find 5 special coins within the stage, after you completed to gather them, there will new place (getting harder and harder) of the coins and maximum of it is 3 times gather. Because mario only run straigh forward, its another challenge for you.
Unlike the classic version, you will not died when you've "kissed" enemy, or ect. But you would spawned again with the bubbles, and this bubbles will flow with the wind, if you are not tapped it, you could fly again into the start of the stage, but remember, each stage had its times.
Kingdom Builder
Yes, you could see your kingdom (peach Queendom i think) and you can build them by collecting the citizens that you'll got from winning in "Rally Mode". Each time your citizens grew up, your castle will became bigger. And also you could buy things like house, folwers, cannon, ect. To decorate your kingdom. Nice feature!
Rally Mode
This is the place for you to compete against your friend, in specific stage and avoid alkll obstacle as you can, while u need go run faster and gain crowd to build your kingdom. Sometimes to build the building, you need specific color of the mushroom man (forgot their names). And i've unlocked Yoshi building which gave me access to play yoshi in tour mode. Which is nice too. And each character u've unlocked had their special power. But i just stopped at yoshi's.
And you can't play Mario Run without internet connection, be aware.
All the good things, would their own bad things, and here it is. The bad news for mostly mobile player is, this game isn't completely free.
As you can see from my pictures above, all i can reach is just 4 stages, and i've almost got all stage with all coins, and some of them almost impossible to get with mario characters. That's why i've used Yoshi.
Overall, this is a good simple games, and the only things that bother me is, i must payed to unlock all stages and heroes. And "demo" stages is only 4 stages, it sure bored you enough to play it.
