Super Mario Run earned roughly $5 million in first day revenue, players spent about 16 minutes in the game
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 12 Comments
Super Mario Run is finally here, and various companies are coming forward with initial launch data for the game. That includes intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
Sensor Tower says that Super Mario Run grossed over $5 million worldwide in its first 24 hours. Some countries aren’t contributing to the total as much, such as Japan. But as Sensor Tower points out, “a variety of factors are undoubtedly at play, including regional income and spending habits.” Super Mario Run also beat out Pokemon GO’s first day gross revenue by roughly 67 percent and Clash Royale by more than 400 percent.
In terms of engagement, players spent about 16 minutes in the game on its first day. That number was 22 minutes for Pokemon GO and 28 minutes for Clash Royale to compare.
It’s also worth noting that Sensor Tower also has its own figure for first day downloads, coming in at five million. We’re not making quite as big a deal out of that figure though, since the actual range could be anywhere from about 2.85 million to 5 million.

Super Mario Run downloaded nearly three million times in its first day
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 17 Comments
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.

How to use something similar to Family Sharing with Super Mario Run
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 1 Comment
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.

Super Mario Run debuts as #7 top-grossing app in America, #2 in the UK
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 8 Comments
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.
