My Shield TV runs the closest hardware to existing Nintendo hardware, but it's not compatible

I'm installing the game now. I've had cash from Google surveys ready to go for this for awhile.
It's not available in eshop so you can't say it's compatible with the Switch.My Shield TV runs the closest hardware to existing Nintendo hardware, but it's not compatible
Just got confirmation Super Mario Run DOES use SafetyNet, so if you're rooted/non-stock ROM, you're basically screwed (unless you use Magisk).
Really weird, since Pokémon GO and Fire Emblem Heroes also use SafetyNet, and I can run those just fine. Oh well, not really a loss for me.

That doesn't make sense. I don't know about iOS, but at least on Android you can completely reverse root to where it's not detectable.
Can't play this, same as Fire Emblem and Pokemon Go. I previously rooted my phone, but I did a full unroot so I could encrypt my phone. It won't let me play the games since I don't pass the safetynet check, probably have some leftover root files. Normally I'd just flash a ROM to clean it, but since TWRP can't decrypt my goddamn phone, I have to do a factory reset before I can flash anything. So I said screw it, won't be playing these games.

Pretty fun so far. The question is if the full unlock is worth it. Many iOS players seem to not think so.

Yeah, but to be fair, the value of games on phones has been damaged over time. People mostly want this for free.
While you're right that cheaper phone games do indeed offer more value than this game, it's also true on 3DS. There, I buy most of my (Nintendo-Publikum) games 6-12 months after launch for 10-20 and even they have a lot more content. When there are a lot of great games at a similar or cheaper price, this is an easy pass for me.
If I had enjoyed the first world more, i would've considered buying the full game maybe for half the price. But after seeing what's there, I wouldn't even feel confident about that.
Honestly expected a bit more here.
99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the world population would need to buy a WiiU first to get the game
Statistically, no one owns a WiiU

Installed it on my Pixel and played 1-1. Runs great.

Played a tiny bit of this yesterday on Android. It is fun, but the load times could be a bit better. Other than that it runs quite smooth on my phone.

I bought it day one and I still bust it out to do some Rally runs if I'm in a waiting room or whatnot. The price is steep but the game is fun and lends itself to super quick plays.

I think it's worth the 10 I paid for it. Hunting for special coins is fun and Toad rally can be addicting.

Just cleared the black coins in 1-1. Shit was deceptively hard. Gives me hope for the replayability of getting all the coins in all the levels.

I'm honestly a bit underwhelmed by this game. I really, really miss Sonic Runners now. I don't know exactly what it is about this one but the parkour-related moves don't feel right.
You gotta be cool for paying for a polished experience with high replayability. You aren't getting 100 stages and tons of content
IMO it's well worth the $10. There are few stages (24 iirc + some bonus ones) but each stage has 3 different sets of coins. If you're interested in the challenge of collecting the coins (it's pretty fun) then the $10 is more than worth it.
You also have Toad Rally which is very addictive and fun on its own.

Many iOS players are also used to getting their games for free. The thought of "paying money" for a phone game probably seems like a foreign idea to them.

I payed for the unlock and I can say that:
1. 10 Dollars seems about fair
2. The core came is very fun and collecting all three levels of coins per level was fun and challenging.
3. I can't guarantee that it will play as lag and problem free on my iPhone 6S as it does on whatever android hardware you are using.
That is arguably a greater issue with people on the Android side.
I honestly thought all android users would have technically gotten this game for free. I wonder how many android people arent' aware of the best app ever google rewards. I can't remember the last time I've actually used my own money on android to buy something.
The game runs silky smooth on my Note 6 and feels great honestly. I didn't really follow or read up on the game so the whole kingdom building was a nice surprise. 10 bucks doesn't seem like a lot for the quality and polish I've experienced so far.

The reviews on Google play are as bad. "Letting us play 4 of the 24 worlds without paying is robbery." These folks are so sad.

Blew all my google opinions money on fire emblem. Bloody gacha games.
haha no doubt! Luckily FE hasn't gotten me too bad, I only spent 6 google bucks on some orbs one day. Game is damn good so I can't fault anyone dropping their google bucks on FE gacha

There were similar reviews at launch on the App Store (and likely still are) and of course the oh-so hilarious Twitter responses.
I remember read things along the lines of "I was enjoying the game until I got to world 4 and the game asked me to pay. Deleted it immediately."

Meh. I liked Rayman Jungle Run way more than this.
Miitomo and Switch Parental Controls work fine with root. Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run will work initially but give you an error message if you try to open them again after closing them out. Pokemon Go is the strictest out of the bunch.
Magisk is the only way to get any of these apps working (and show up properly as supported devices on Google Play). You need to flash Magisk (because SuperSU does not work right with the root hiding function if you install Magisk's Play Store App on top of an existing SuperSU installation.
I have everything working right using MagiskSU (bundled with the Magisk flashable zip) and hiding root on anything Google Play related or installed apps that check for it. Even Android Pay worked! Magisk is incredibly easy to install if you have TWRP or some other custom recovery on your device. I'm running it on the latest 7.1.2 beta released by Google the other day. It probably won't work on Android O.
It's a damn shame that these restrictions are in place. It's more of a headache to the end user. I don't know how much "cheating" can go on. Since a lot of this stuff requires a server side connection, it doesn't seem like cheaters would last long anyway.
Still not released in my area what is taking them so long? D:
This is an insta buy for me after playing on my iPad, I'm only worried the experience will be subpar in commute when the subway loses all signal, it can go up to a minute without any data in certain sections.
Edit: and look at it, it's now available!
I thought that registering would've give you a nice little message when it became available but no such thing happened.

Google Rewards used to be good. It hasn't given me a single survey in 2017 and if you look at the user reviews, it's not just me.
I instinctively try to play it like a normal Mario game and that fails hard since you need to use the automatic movement to make momentums.
Hard to relearn how to play a Mario after 30 years
Just wait until you start the black coins. lol
It's very fun but I don't feel like paying that much money for a mobile game I'll play occasionnaly. Nothing wrong with the game in itself or the amount of content (you can clearly see how the mechanics are way deeper than in games like Rayman Jungle Run), but I'm just not ready to invest 10 bucks into something I'll play 5 minutes a day at best.
I waited until I cleared all the 4 free stages with all the first two tiers of bonus coins on every stage before buying this. Also played a bunch of Toad Rally. It's fun enough that I don't mine paying at this point. It's not exactly what I like out of Mario, but I don't really mind something different since I'm not a huge Mario fan anyway. In terms of a puzzle/timing tapping distraction, it's pretty well designed and has good production values.

Amy tips for the air ship levels. Cannon balls plus those jumping black guys (Ninji) are annoying. Especially as those are the levels in Toad Run that seem to have all 5 color Toads.
Speaking of which any Toad Run tips?

Just open this link with the latest version of Super Mario Run installed on your device!

Went to add but we're already friendsm
Yeah I actually went full 3 for the first and 2 for the rest before buying.
It is pricey unless you're like me and going for all the extra coins.
It's definitely a weird take on Mario but a very interesting one.
Can really get to you having to get all 5 coins in one run while always moving forward.

It's pretty interesting what the game tries to do with Toad rally, it tries to emulate the pay for play model that permeates mobile gaming but using in-game currency, all the while giving you a pretty decent runner with tight mechanics and level design, and a cute castle to decorate by buying stuff feels like an experiment trying to touch all those staples of mobile gaming to test the players and find out what they like.

Hey thanks Mario Run for telling me Toad Rally has a cap of 99 on tickets. You've been giving them out like candy so I didn't think anything of it.
Luckily they seem easy enough to get back with those daily rewards.

I only do Toad Rally a few times a day, and I am never not at 99. It's weird to have a currency and a cap, when they just let you sit there unless you go absolutely bonkers.
