History VideoGame / SuperMarioRun

* FragileSpeedster: Toad and Toadette are faster than the others, but they're also {{One Hit Point Wonder}}s.

* AwesomenessMeter: In Toad Rally, players gain Toad fans whenever they pull off quick maneuvers, like jumping while Mario is vaulting over something. The more fans a player gets, the more their score is boosted at the end of Toad Rally, and the more Toads the player gets if they win Toad Rally.

* HelpfulMook: Zigzagged with Lakitu. The first time he appears, all he does is throw coins at Mario. However, in later levels, he'll try to trick you by alternating between throwing Spinies and coins.

* CallBack: Peach once again [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 sends a letter saying she baked a cake]].

The game combines the standard ''Mario'' gameplay you know (specifically the style from the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' games) with that of typical endless runner games. Mario runs continuously through each stage jumping by himself over small enemies and obstacles. By tapping the screen the player can make him jump higher. Along with the typical goal of trying to get through each stage as fast as possible, the player must also collect as many coins as possible. Each stage has a stack of coin challenges the get progressively harder and are the main element that gives the game replay value. Along with the regular mode, there is also Toad Rally, where the player can challenge ghost players through the regular levels, similar to the Ghost Races in ''VideoGame/MarioKart''. Playing both modes and collecting coins within allow the player to build their Mushroom Kingdom in Kingdom Builder, the game's third mode, similar to games like ''VideoGame/{{Farmville}}''. Playing through each mode also eventually unlocks other characters who each play differently.

* AndYourRewardIsInteriorDecorating: ''Exterior'' decorating, rather. All unlockable items are buildings and decorations for the Mushroom Kingdom, though many do provide some extras like bonus games.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Unlike the regular ''Mario'' games, Mario will automatically vault over most enemies he runs into, instead of taking CollisionDamage like he usually does. While veteran ''Mario'' players can still just jump over any enemy Mario encounters, in order to do well in Toad Rally, you have to run into them so you can improve your score.
* ExcusePlot: Peach bakes a cake for Mario, but Bowser flies by, wrecks the kingdom, and kidnaps her, and Mario goes on an adventure to rescue her again. It's ''Mario'', what did you expect?

* MoneyForNothing: Averted for once in a ''Mario'' game. Since there are no extra lives, coins instead are used to buy objects for the Kingdom Builder. You'll need plenty to buy everything there is.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Toad are a given, and Peach isn't too much of a stretch, but Toadette's inclusion in the playable roster is odd, as she's rarely used outside of spinoff games (her only playable appearance in a main series game was in ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker'') and hasn't even appeared in the ''New'' series of games that ''Run'' is based on. To a lesser extent is a standalone Yoshi, who's exclusively been a PowerupMount outside of his own series.

* CollisionDamage: While most enemies won't damage Mario if he runs into them, some enemies like [[TheSpiny Spinies]] and Piranha Plants will still hurt Mario like they always do. Mario will also get damaged by regular enemies if he bumps into them while airborne.

* TheBusCameBack: We haven't seen the Ninjis for a while.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: The game can be downloaded for free but only the regular mode of the first three levels are unlocked. Paying one $10 fee up front unlocks the whole game and there is never another in-game payment with real currency on anything else after that. Anything purchased in-game, particularly for Kingdom Builder, can be bought with Coins collected in game. Another PlotCoupon in the form of the Toad Certificates are also earned through regular gameplay.
