Before I begin this review, I must assure you, dear reader, that I staunchly refuse to purchase any of the levels after the first world. I am not about to start getting into mobile game DLC, especially when I already own and can revisit older Mario games at any time. You will not sucker me into this evil.
So know that my experience of MARIO RUN is mostly just doing the toad rally for my sweet, sweet daily Nintendo points. I must collect them. My digital hoard must grow.
Anyway, I like the rally. I like having an avenue for a simple, competitive Mario level with an online stranger who manifests as a ghostly second Mario, always running alongside me, always threatening to GET MORE COINS. There's a certain thrill to it, a certain bliss to being the Mario who did the best run today, and a certain dark and acute despair to the tragic failure to surpass the other Mario.
Mario becomes not just a happy little guy leaping his way past silly enemies, but an athlete, a man who must focus, a man who must be the fastest and most elite Mario. And making him that is my fervent passion. Do not worry, Mario. I will get you your coins. Together, we will shatter the imposter.
The game is barebones though, so it doesn't really COMPEL much play, sadly. But it does give me the adrenaline of an Olympic champion, probably.

When I first made a Backloggd, I didn't even consider most mobile games to be a part of it. But the whole reason I'm even going out of my way to log this is because there's a Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door event going on right now and it...definitely got me back into the game proper, long after I beat everything. I still have some "post-game stuff" to chip away at, but. Something about the bite-sized nature of Remix10 makes it the right kind of addicting. And the level designs themselves—it ain’t the worst 2D Mario I’ve played! Plus, fully playable Yoshi makes everything better.
Played this in 2016 when it was new. Heard about some Paper Mario event going on it in through and thought maybe I'd missed this game actually receive major updates and decided to check it out again.
No? They've added like a handful of cosmetics for your overworld in the 8 YEARS since launch? Like not even a single new level huh???
Anyway this game is okay. The asking price is too much for how few levels there are.
