"Super Mario Run" is nearing its release date and many fans have already tried the game and even signed up to be notified for the demo. The numbers for the game are showing promising results at it nearly surpasses that of "Pokemon Go."

Nintendo's "Super Mario Run" has released the trailer for the game and its fans are excited about the game's release.The trailer can be found on the game's official website while a massive amount of fans are awaiting the official notification from Apple for the game's availability.

The Verge reported that "Super Mario Run" is similar to traditional Mario games, however ,there is also a significant difference. Unlike previous Mario games, "Super Mario Run" will be an automatic runner game which means all the player can do is control when the character will jump. This is a tad bit different from the original games whereas players can go backward and forward with ease.

"Super Mario Run" is said to have only one button for control, despite this limited option, the game still proves to be engaging. Moreover, the upcoming Mario game promotes the player to stay on certain game levels. Despite clearing a level, the job is apparently not over yet, as the player has the option to collect special coins that will unlock harder to find coins on the same level.

Another interesting factor of "Super Mario Run" is the asynchronous multiplayer feature called "Toad Rally," whereas the player can play against a "ghost" version of another player. The competitive feature also rewards the winner of the Toad Rally with in-game currency that can be used to purchase goodies from the shop.

According to Bloomberg, "Super Mario Run" is looking at massive statistics that mean promising results for the game once it is released. Moreover, it is stated that "Super Mario Run" is estimated to perform well in its first month of release, with $71 million title gross and 50 million downloads. That estimation is close to what "Pokemon Go" achieved with 180 million downloads in its first two months.

Furthermore, Apple also mentioned that the game has 20 million people waiting for the notification of the game's availability. If you want to know first hand when "Super Mario Run" becomes available, sign up for the Apple notification, or stay tuned to News Everyday for the latest updates.
