Mario and Sonic are two of the oldest games that continue to have a continuation more than 30 years after they hit the market. Mario and Sonic became the characters associated with Nintendo and Sega respectively and since their birth they have had a large number of titles and even film adaptations.
Despite the fact that Sega left the console market, Sonic has remained in time, like Mario, the mythical Nintendo plumber who has gone through each and every one of the consoles that the Japanese giant has launched on the market, even reaching mobile devices.
However, the adaptations that have reached the devices have not had the success that Nintendo might hope, partly because of the company since it has wanted offer a completely different experience to which it traditionally offered, and offers, through its consoles, which has finally forced the company to rethink this type of titles on mobile devices, to the point of temporarily paralyzing the launch.
The only possibility to play any of the dozens of versions of Mario was through a Nintendo console. But, with the arrival of mobile versions and using emulators and other tricks, we can play Mario Bross on mobile in a very simple way and, sometimes, completely free of charge.
Nintendo is one of the companies more suspicious of their intellectual property, with permission from Disney, so he always does everything possible to eliminate any option available to play Mario titles from the internet, as far as possible.
The company went so far as to ask YouTube to will remove gameplays from your titles, a move that even the company itself considered absurd some time later, since it was the only studio that did it and did not allow those interested in the game to watch videos about the gameplay, graphic quality ... of the title they intended to buy.
Leaving aside the stupid measures that the Japanese company has taken in recent years, and continues to take, here we show you how to play Mario Bross on an Android mobile.
Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run was the first title that Nintendo released for mobile devices and it was a complete failure. The reason was not related to the gameplay it offers, which also, but to the price of the in-app purchase that gives you access to all the content available in the game: 10,99 euros.
An excessive price, no matter how you look at it, for a title where you only have to click on the screen for Mario to jump dodging obstacles and collecting the classic coins. This title, puts at our disposal four game modes: worlds, races, Remix 10 and My Kingdom.
Super Mario Run puts at our disposal 6 worlds and 24 levels in order to get to Browser's castle and free Princess Peach. To be able to enjoy this title, the smartphone must be managed by Android 4.4 or later. It requires an internet connection.
Mario Kart Tour
The second title launched by the Nintendo company of its most emblematic character was Mario Kart Tour, another game that we can download for free but that includes in-app purchases of all kinds, including subscriptions, as if it were a slot machine.
Includes multiplayer mode to play with other friends. As we win races, we go unlocking new vehicles and characters, being of great help to get all the stars that we meet along the way to get all the badges of the game.
Mario Kart Tour, like Mario Run, requires a permanent internet connection, can include advertising (varies by country) and requires Android 4.4 or later. In-app purchases go from 2,29 euros to 74,99 euros.
With these prices, it is normal that Nintendo has stated that it will take a while and do not re-release new adaptations of your games for mobile devices. The only title of all the adaptations that this console manufacturer has launched on the market for mobile devices is been Fire Emblem Heroes y Animal Crossing.
Dr. Mario World
Dr. Mario World is the latest title starring Mario, although, unlike the previous ones, it is not an arcade in itself, but we have to squeeze our heads to be able to solve the problems. 600 phases that they put at our disposal to eliminate bacteria with pills.
We can count on the help of Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, Estela, Donkey Kong, Caco Gazapo, Koopa, Lakitu among others in a game that requires an internet connection, is available for free download and includes in-app purchases ranging from 2,29 euros to 74,99 euros and requires Android 4.4.
Super Adventure Jungle World
The first thing we should know about this title is that it is not a Nintendo original. Super Adventure shows us a character very similar to Mario (it is identical) in which we have to jump to collect coins, dodge the enemies and complete all the levels. The reason Nintendo hasn't removed it is because does not include Mario's name in the description, or in the title nor in the game itself.
Super Adventure Jungle World 2021 is available for your download completely free and includes ads, but no in-app purchases. To be able to enjoy this title, our Android smartphone must be managed by Android 4.1 or later.
Lep's World
Over 100 million downloads and an average rating of 4.4 stars Out of 5 possible based on more than 1 million comments, we find Lep's World, a game that copies the aesthetics and operation of Mario Bross but with completely different characters, with gnomes.
Lep's World is the game that really should have done Nintendo when it released Mario Run for mobile devices, a game in which we can control the character beyond just jumping. Our character's mission (we have 8 different ones to choose from) is to help Lep find his gold.
This title puts at our disposal more 160 levels, 6 worlds with different themes, 9 enemies And it is available for download for free, that is, it includes in-app purchases that range from 0,75 euros to 99,99 euros. In order to install this title on an Android device, it must be managed by Android 4.4 or later.
Super Jabber Jump 3
Another game with an aesthetic traced to Mario is Super Jabber Jump 3, a title that replaces the well-known plumber with a mustache by a kind of pirate who has to collect coins from another throughout all the levels that it makes available to us.
Jabber our protagonist can jump, run and pounce on his enemies through 5 worlds each with its own final enemy. Jabber's mission is to recover the jewel that has been stolen from him and to do so he has to overcome the 100 levels that this title makes available to us.
Super Jabber Jump 3 is available for your download completely free, includes ads and in-app purchases which has a price ranging from 1,09 euros to 10,99 euros. The minimum Android version to install this title on an Android device is Android 4.1
Bob's world
Bob's World is a title based on the previous three that is inspired by the gameplay and design of Mario, but with a completely different character and where the object of our protagonist, in this case Bob, is rescue the princess, while jumping, running, shooting and dodging enemies.
One of the advantages offered by this title is that it does not require an internet connection. It is available for your download completely free, includes ads and in-app purchases ranging from 1,99 euros to 10,99 euros, being necessary Android 5 or later to install it on an Android device.
Use an emulator
If the titles that Nintendo has released they don't convince you, like the interesting alternatives that I have shown you, you can make use of an emulator on your Nintendo device. If we talk about emulators, we have to talk about RetroArch, the best cross-platform emulator for any console.
In addition, it is open source and completely free, so you only have to worry about searching the internet for the ROMs of the versions of Mario that you like the most. Does not include ads or in-app purchases, allows us to configure the controls to our liking, is available in Spanish ...
RetroArch us allows you to play any game on any console Through the screen, although it is compatible with control knobs, so if you have one at home, the gaming experience will be much more pleasant and above all, comfortable, if you also connect your mobile to your television.
In addition, it has a channel on Discord where you can ask questions, look for ROMs, receive technical support, although through its channel of YouTube You will be able to solve most of the doubts related to what the application offers you and how you can do it.
Minigames
Another interesting option without having to install absolutely any application on our device is through the Minigames web, where in this section, we have at our disposal a large number of versions, unofficial of course, of Mario and all his friends.
