Super Mario Run is now available in the App Store for the iPhone. It is Nintendo's second mobile game in history (the first being Miitomo) and Mario's first game on a mobile device. Like any good Super Mario Bros. game, it has plenty of skill-based content: You'll have to plan your strategy and learn how to time your moves just right if you want to get all of the goodies on any given level.

Super Mario Run is free to download. You can play the first three levels of World 1 and 20 seconds of the boss level for free; after that, you'll have to unlock the rest of the game for $9.99. Believe me, you'll want to buy this game once you've played 30 seconds of the first level. It'll hook you in!

There are three modes of gameplay; World Tour, Toad Rally, and kingdom building. Each one assists in unlocking other modes. Completing levels in World Tour unlocks new courses in Toad Rally, which unlocks new Toad colors, which unlocks new buildings for your kingdom. As such, you'll want to play everything every day.

There are 24 levels across six worlds in World Tour mode. While you can race through all 24 levels in just a few hours, you'll miss out on the real fun of the game: the strategy! If you want to know how to score big in Super Mario Run, our beginner's guide will show you the way.

GETTING STARTED
First things first: Super Mario Run will teach you the basics by running you (ha ha) through a training level. Don't freak out if you can't make Mario jump at first: The level guides you through each move Mario can do, one step at a time; you'll be able to tap to jump soon enough. The game's training level takes about 30 seconds to complete, at which point you'll be whisked into the game's story.

Like all good Mario games, you'll have encounters with kingdoms, castles, Peach, Bowser, and Toad — but I don't want to spoil the fun for you, so I won't go into further details.

BASIC MOVES
The first thing you need to know: Mario runs automatically. You don't have to — nor do you get to — manually direct him forwards or backwards. He also automatically jumps over small obstacles like blocks or enemies, small gaps in the path, and low-height Warp Pipes.

*How to jump manually*
Sure, you could let Mario do most of the running and jumping for you, but tapping to jump is much of the fun of the game: A well-timed jump provides some sweet rewards. For example, if you jump onto a Goomba's head, you'll earn some coins for crushing him. And if you time your jump just right, you can kick a Koopa Troopa into a spin and send him into your enemy's path. Proper jumps will also lead to areas with secret goodies, like Super Stars or Challenge Coins.

To jump normally, tap the screen
To get a high jump, press and hold your finger on the screen
To spin in mid-air, touch and hold your finger on the screen, and then tap the screen while in mid-air
To reverse jump off a wall, tap when Mario is about to hit a wall
To stall in mid-air, touch the screen and swipe to the left
