Correct me if im wrong but i think they still get paid with just downloads. Obviously not as much but still. Thats said an advantage this game gets for DLs is brand exposure like pokemon go that it boost software sales for said franchise (super mario run already boosted sales for nsmb for wii on amazon for ex) like super mario maker 3ds.

No, they don't. Super Mario GOTY is ads-free. So unless players buy the full game, Nintendo/Apple don't get any money. 

It's down to 4 (from 3) in the Japanese trop grossing chart. That's a good rank giving how massive the Japanese smartphone gaming industry is. It's also down to 2 in Austrilia and Spain. Holding on to no.1 in many big markets, including the USA/UK/Germany. I am hoping it remains in the top 5 or top 10 in Japan, because that would be good news, always.

Again, I feel like I should remind people, the numbers we are getting from these analytic firms are not accurate. App annie releases a report on SMGOTY every day or so, and all gaming/tech-centered websites report these numbers with a link to app annie website. It's basically free publicity for those firms. 

Hmmm ok then! Gotcha
