This isn't an endless runner. Each level has a defined start, end, and progression. The exception might be the final Bowser fight that, as far as I can tell, goes on until you successfully jump attack three bombs and hit Bowser. That by no means justifies the price of this Super Mario Maker level pack, but it's worth considering, at least.

Please don't spread fud with sweeping generalizations. This is just plain false.

Knowing people that play these games, they put up with ads, waiting, all sorts of stuff to avoid spending a penny. Asking them to spend $10 is like asking console gamers to spend $100+ on a game. Once you race to free, hard to get people back to paying for things.

They're just jealous they don't have a kickstand and upgradeable storage.

Typical fanboys.

Sony/MS fanboys are probably downvoting it out of spite like I do to their games on metacritic.

never mind the "they spent $700 on a phone but cant bother to spend $10 on a game argument"

the fact that they are complaining about the price is just ridiculous and petty. it shows that they actually enjoyed the demo enough to want to play it more, but got upset that it costed money.

a price does not dictate quality. just look as No Man's Sky for example. it was a terrible game and nowhere near worth the $60 price tag, but lowing the price to say $20 will not magically make it a better game. it will still be a terrible game, it will just not cost as much money, and either way you decided to put money down for a game you knew was terrible.

in terms of Super Mario Run, you cant say that a $10 price tag makes the game worse. the game is getting great reviews and obviously it is perfect for a mobile game. dont be butthurt because you refuse to put down money for something you want

The people that are reviewing it or complaining are probably a different audience that are used to free games or 99p games. Considering Pokemon Go was free, Temple Run, Candy Crush, Angry Birds etc All considered to be amongst AAA in the mobile world, having to pay £9 for a game that is similar to other free ones is a bit crazy for them. 

I suppose the equivalent would be someone charging $600 for a $60 game. 

You right about a crap game being crap and the price shouldn't make a difference, but the problem is price usually dictates quality for many people. 

The difference between buying a £100 watch and a £1000 watch. Buying £10 boots and buying £100 boots. Buying a processed £1 burger and buying a gourmet £5 burger. 

These people are used to playing what they consider quality games for free and here is a game that isn't that much better in quality yet they are expected to pay £9.

As console gamers, we get it, but as mobile gamers, I'm not sure they do.

Well I thought it was a reasonably good game.

Being fair to some of the negative reviews, some of the reviews crit the need for always on internet and don't like the way the game is marked as free but then costs money after completing a few levels rather than simply stating the price up front.

This wasn't an issue for me but I was aware of the cost in advance. Internet requirements and server connection issues do bug me.

i'll bet you that they'll add content soon. Probably inbetween from now and the android release.

Next year they'll do some sort of deal to get more sales(say $5 like you mentioned), and apple could include free app store giftcards with purchases simultaneously to have both sides profit.

That's a bad news, but not surprising. Nintendo is always think their IP have a high value so they priced it high, even if it is absolutely not worth it. Just look at Ultra Smash :p

Well it IS too much for a mobile game after all.
