The game, the first mobile edition starring one of Nintendo’s most iconic characters, will be free to download initially, and include an optional one-off payment of $9.99 to unlock all of the features. In addition to English and Japanese, Super Mario Run will be available in several other languages, Nintendo said in a statement Tuesday.
