The proportion of the game you can play for free (0 more)
The game is great - a clever little variation on standard Mario games whereby Mario automatically runs along and all you have to do is jump (should really have called it Super Mario Jump), cutting down on the complexity of controls.
You can play the first round of levels (I think 6 levels) but to play after that you have to pay £9.99. While I know apps are not developed without profit in mind, this is the first time I have seen a game of this profile have this. I don't mind apps where you can buy extra lives or power-ups but to ask people to pay for the game which was supposed to be free is a bit of a cheek.
There are other game modes - one where you race through 10 very short levels to progress through levels to rescue Peach, and one where you play against other players, looking to collect the most coins, but these both get old quick.
After finding out how little of the game I could play, and getting bored of the free content, I deleted the game. The lure of collecting things to build a little town wasn't enough for me.
But it was fun while it lasted.

The Finest Mario Yet.
What can I say that already hasn’t been said. Mario Nintendo’s well used mascot has turned up in what feels like his hundred game so by now you would assume he has tired himself out what with being a doctor, a golfer, a plumber and a painter.

But no in a gaming world full of call of duty’s and battle royales this game is a joy to play.


It’s a game that for me personally after a long time of search is a game full of what it was to play games when I was younger. It exudes joy and fun that I haven’t experienced in a long time,


The Graphics are beautiful and the best of a Mario game yet and the gameplay is so simple that you, your grandma or your great great grandma can pick it up and play without any issue at all all thanks to the simple mode that has kindly been included in the game.


For me it’s a straight 9/10 if you have a switch (and a soul) it is a must buy for you.
