How long you touch the screen depends on how high you jump, and pressing at the right time (like jumping over enemies) gives you a better score. It’s such a simple and easy mode to play, only requiring you to tap the screen to jump. World Tour takes place over 6 different worlds, featuring 3 levels and a finale that takes place in either a castle or a flying ship, with the aim to collect as many coins as you can. There are three modes in Super Mario Run: World Tour, Toad Rally and Kingdom Builder. You’ll be ploughing hours into this before you’ve even realised you were supposed to be picking up the kids or going to work because it’s so much fun. Super Mario Run is everything I wanted it to be, incorporating the familiar Mario mechanics you’re used to and bringing in mobile game tropes that suck us in and feed the addictive nature of games seen in the likes of Candy Crush or Angry Birds. It’s such a joy to see Mario on iOS devices – to be able to pick up an iPad or iPhone and enjoy this colourful world without thinking too much is a delight.
