Hands on with Super Mario Run for iPhone

Nintendo's legendary platformer runs and jumps on to smartphones on 15 December, but will it spring to new heights or plumb the depths?

Quirky social app Miitomo wasn't the "proper" game fans were looking for when Nintendo announced its long-anticipated move into smartphone games. Super Mario Run almost certainly is that game though.

Unveiled at Apple's WWDC event in June, it will be an iOS exclusive when it launches on 15 December, although an Android port is expected to follow in 2017.
