Something, something, when 95% of android users aren't simply going to just pirate it.

You can only play up to World 1-3 for free. Rest all are available for purchase in your online store.

It was always advertised as a paid game, right from announcement. I was expecting to pay for it when I downloaded, but yeah - it's effectively a little demo, and then pay to unlock the full game.

My only complaint is the ghost player in Toad Rush blocks vision of your own player a bunch of the time and it sucks.

Two things to keep in mind: It has always-on DRM, and it uses a lot of data. Watch you don't blow your data caps playing it.

Played the trial it is pretty fun. Seems like it would be worth the purchase.

Er...what? Is this including the initial download of the app and background data the first time you run it? What could it possibly need otherwise?

Been super excited for this. Been playing the first world and it can actually be pretty tricky getting all the coins. Purchased the full app and cant wait to play this tonight

Rumor: Super Mario Run needs 75 MB of data per hour with “constant, involved” play

Seems very unlikely that the game will actually use 75MB/h, but it does seem to be a bit of a data hog.
