The game will cost a flat price of $9.99. That’s a steep price for a mobile game, but it’s also a one-time thing, meaning Super Mario Run won’t be loaded with in-app purchases like many of the other mobile games out there.
Here’s how Nintendo describes Super Mario Run:
Super Mario Run is the first Super Mario Bros. game developed specifically for mobile devices. In the game, Mario runs forward on his own, but relies on the tap of a single finger to jump over obstacles, avoid enemies, pull off stylish moves, collect coins and reach the flagpole to complete courses.
