'Super Mario Run' cheats, tips, tricks: How to master all three game modes and collect coins

Nintendo's new mobile game, "Super Mario Run," is now available for iOS devices. While the side-scrolling, auto-runner platform game is pretty easy to master, it is still important for players to develop a strategy that will allow them to succeed. A list of tips and tricks has been compiled to help beginners and for players who are looking for ways to rise above the rest of the competition.

First things first; players should create their own Nintendo account before playing "Super Mario Run." It is important to sign in because this will give players a list of missions to complete in order to gain points. These points will hasten the process of unlocking characters like Toad, Yoshi and Luigi. Players can also earn additional coins, which is an important aspect of the mobile game.

Next, players should familiarize themselves with the three game modes — World Tour, Kingdom Builder and Toad Rally — as finding a balance among the three will be crucial to one's gameplay.

In World Tour, players experience the traditional "Mario" gameplay where they will have to complete levels to save Princess Peach. Playing World Tour will give the player rally tickets that will allow them to enter Toad Rally, the competitive multiplayer mode. In turn, Toad Rally provides players with Toad followers that will help build the Mushroom Kingdom in Kingdom Builder. The larger the house they build, the more coins players will get.

In all these modes, the objective is to obtain the most number of coins. Aside from gold coins, players should also pay attention to pink, purple and black ones. Collecting all the variants will unlock different versions of the World Tour level. This makes the game exciting even after one has accomplished the level already. It is also beneficial for players to master the Midair Stall which is secret move that is achieved by swiping backwards while mid-air.

"Super Mario Run" is now available to play on iOS devices. Nintendo has confirmed that an Android version will be released, but an official date has yet to be announced.
