Mario has finally made his mobile debut. Super Mario Run launched on Thursday… though only on iOS. The Android release will follow in 2017.

Have you downloaded Super Mario Run? If so, have you purchased the full game, or do you intend to? What are your impressions? Perhaps you’re holding off on downloading it all together? Or maybe you’re waiting on the Android version?

That’s a lot of questions, though Super Mario Run is certainly deserving of them. If you do have any final thoughts on the title, be sure to share them with us in the comments!

Highlights from last week’s topic: Which games would you want to see on the GameCube Virtual Console?

9to5Mac is reporting that Niantic is scrapping plans to bring Pokemon GO to Apple Watch. When it was originally shown in September, the app was apparently an “unfinished port.”

Niantic is thus far not officially commenting on whether Pokemon GO has been cancelled for Apple Watch. However, one user claims to have heard from the company in a customer support email response that plans have ceased, though “if demand for an Apple Watch port increases, we will continue development of a port.”

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.
