"Super Mario Run" is reportedly Nintendo's first and official smartphone game and it became popular when it released in December last year. CNN reports that the game had more than 40 million downloads during its first four days. The game was considered to be the highest grossing game in the App Store in many countries worldwide.

Players who want to play the full "Super Mario Run" game will need to shell out $10 to get full access to all levels. The game is free to download but if you're not paying for the game, there are only three levels to play. This earned the ire of disappointed gamers who were not informed of the in-game purchases which resulted in "Super Mario Run" coming down from its top position of highest grossing games in the App store.
