Mario Run has long been available on iPhone / iOS. The game has been positively received by the media – and praised for its easy controls, and challenging gameplay. Nintendo has now announced that the game will finally be made available for Android users next week on March 23rd.

Nintendo has also said that Version 2.0 would be released at the same time. Not many details have been leaked yet, but Nintendo claims there would be more characters added in the upcoming update. Currently players can only play the game as Mario. Furthermore the free version of the game will be extended to add the ability to unlock World 1-4 without having to pay the $9.99 price tag. The new update will include even more features, but we will have to wait until March 23rd when all the details will be announced by Nintendo.
