Update: Bumped to the top. There are some discrepancies in these reports. Business intelligence and analyst firm App Annie says Super Mario Run was downloaded an estimated 3.5 million times in the U.S. alone in its first 14 hours.

Original: Super Mario Run was downloaded on 2.85 million devices in its first day, data from Apptopia reveals. It managed to surpass Pokemon GO, which only had 900,000 downloads during its first 24 hours.

It is important to point out that Pokemon GO had more of a staggered launch whereas Super Mario Run was issued worldwide. Hitting three million downloads is still an impressive feat, however.

Super Mario Run has quickly risen to the top of the App Store charts. A few hours after it launched, the game shot up to the seventh top-grossing iPhone app in America, and second in the UK. It was also the top-downloaded app in 62 countries, including the United States.

The latest positioning for Super Mario Run now has it as the top-grossing app in both the United States and the UK. It’s also at the sixth spot in Japan.

Super Mario Run is doing very well for itself thus far. Hopefully it will be able to maintain momentum over the next few weeks.

Super Mario Run doesn’t take advantage of Apple’s Family Sharing. This is due to the nature of the download, which is an in-app purchase. However, by going through a few steps, it is actually possible to use something similar to Family Sharing so that those who you are close to won’t need to purchase Super Mario Run on their own.

Here’s what you’ll need to do, as pointed out by Gabe3208:

1. First, purchase the game on your device.
2. Then on the iPhone/iPad you want to share the in-app purchase with, go to settings and log out of the app store.
3. Log back into the App Store with the same account that made the in-app purchase. SUPER IMPORTANT: If you don’t don this, you will be charged $9.99 again.
4. Open the Super Mario Run app, and try to purchase the game again. You will get a pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to buy, hit yes, and then another pop-up will appear saying you can download again for free since you’ve already purchased it.

The third step is pretty important here. Since you’re logging in to your account on another device, you’ll probably only want to complete this with people you really know well and trust.

Unlike Pokemon GO, Super Mario Run isn’t entirely free-to-play. You’re able to play a bit of the game before you pay $10 to unlock everything it has to offer. Having said that, a big question people have wondered about is how Super Mario Run will be received, and how well it will sell.

In America, it’s currently the seventh top-grossing iPhone app (Pokemon GO is at the fifth spot in case you’re curious). And in the UK, the title is #2, just behind Pokemon GO. Super Mario Run is off to a strong start – at least so far.
