Super Mario Run became available to iPhone users on 15 December 2016, but it is an App Store exclusive for an undetermined period of time.
If you are using Android, Super Mario Run will be coming to Android in March 2017, Nintendo has confirmed.
You can now pre-register for the game in Google Play, and will be notified as soon as it is released.
Super Mario Run is now available in the App Store , although unfortunately it is playable only with an active internet connection.
Firstly, we apologise for the slightly misleading headline here, but it’s important that those who are searching online for a way to play Super Mario Run on Android find this page and are told that this is not something they should attempt to achieve under any circumstances.
The usual workaround for installing Android apps not officially available to you – sideloading the APK file – does not apply here. Super Mario Run is coming to Android, but it is not available yet, which means there are no genuine Super Mario Run APK files available anywhere online.
