    PLEASE DOWNLOAD SUPER MARIO RUN OR WE WON'T GET NICE THINGS ANYMORE

    The campaign has the feel of some classic Mario games (the Koopa Clown Car alone is worth downloading the free first three levels of the game), and is a lot of fun, if incredibly short -- you can play through the entire campaign in about an hour.

      I'm a child of the late 80s and early 90s. My first memories of video gaming are watching my mother play through every single level of the original Super Mario Bros. (meaning she beat the game with no warps). Mario is deep in my subconscious as a gamer; he practically defines platform gaming for me and an entire generation. That's why this game is such a disappointment.Let's be clear though, Super Mario Run isn't bad, it's fine as a kind of puzzle game. I just don't get why it's on a phone ...
