Super Mario Run Boosting Tricks

Ethan James 08 Mar 2021

Super Mario Run is one of that rare Mario installments that made it to mobile devices. The more attractive it is to franchise fans. But there are differences between it and those scrollers that made the jolly plumber a cult hero. Playing Super Mario run is simple and tricky at the same time.

So, how does one succeed in SMR? Let’s consider these methods.

Jump! Jump!

Well, Mario runs automatically and does minor jumps when they’re required. But it’s up to you to jump higher when necessary, in order, for example, to get onto a platform, pick a coin up above, or rise between walls. So don’t neglect this feature: jump every time you see something worthy! It only takes a tap and a little hold. From the first levels, you need to jump to collect all the pink coins. In addition, it will up your score in the end. So come on up!

Do Tread On Them!

Since Mario doesn't have any weapons, the sole method to defeat foes like Goombas and Buzzy Beetles is to leap and make contact with them from above. However, it's not mandatory to eliminate every adversary. When you do take them out, increment the counters that track the number of enemies you have vanquished. Accomplish this quickly to earn a larger reward, which can be up to three coins per enemy. Engage in consecutive jumps on foes to earn additional coins. Naturally, eliminating adversaries also contributes to your overall score.

Play More Rally Mode

Rally mode lets you challenge some ghost rivals. If you win, not only will you get rewards in coins and score, but also more toads will join you. If you lose a rally but get close enough to your opponent, try replaying it. Maybe you were just one jump away from the victory, and all the prizes it brings.

Toads are necessary to build more houses and play more extra games, as well as for getting bonuses that assist you in regular modes. They unlock new sections of the Kingdom, and, finally, you’ll be able to unlock more useful items and characters. By the way…

Try Other Characters in Rally Mode

When your Mario gets a company, it means more than just changing the appearance of your playable character. When you select somebody else for your Rally mode, you also change your chances. It requires more skill to play, as other characters only have one hit before being bubbled, but rewards you get for mushrooms also increase: you get 5 coins, but don’t grow larger. It works great when you are already skilled enough.

Play Bonus Games

In fact, Super Mario Run is a set of games, with one main one and some extras. One of them gives you more rally tickets if you build Toad houses. It’s only available once a day, so try not to miss it! These houses will enable you to play more games and win prizes.

Buy Question Blocks

They seem just another sort of trophies that only mark your success, but these blocks are functional. When you have a block, tapping on it provides you with more rally tickets. The more of them you have, the more rallies you can play (and so the more toads you can collect).

Run for Color

No need to tell you about the importance of the colored coins. If you miss one, but have a bubble caught before, you can run into an enemy or fall into a pit to stimulate recovering. Drop back from the bubble before the coin and catch it. Don’t do it too far away, as time is unrecoverable. But neither do it too close, as you may miss it again. Those you have collected remain yours. Sometimes it’s the only way to collect all of them, and other times it’s just easier that way.

New Hits on the Block

Even if two hittable blocks are located next to each other, you can hit both of them if you calculate your jumping time and height right. This trick helps you to get more coins; not only are they precious as themselves, they also affect your score. It takes some practice, but you run past these double blocks anyway, so why not?

Play with Friends

When you add friends, the game becomes a competition. It will encourage you to do better. Don’t underrate the psychological impact of competing: your force grows stronger with others in the game!

Conclusion

So, these are the tricks you can use to improve your results in Super Mario Run. All of them require spending some time in the game and making conclusions out of your trials and errors. But you’re having fun while playing, so it won’t be hard.
