Super Mario Run 2

Super Mario Run 2 is a nightmarishly hard 2D platform running arcade game, and if you’re a fan of the genre-defining classic you should definitely give it a try. It takes determination and nerves of steel to get good at games like this, and this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

On the other hand, if you’re a firm believer that the tryhard is the only way to truly enjoy video games, you’ve come to the right place. And you’re not the only one who thinks like this!

Even completing the first stage is nigh impossible on the first try, so it’s important to remain focused and accept failure as a natural part of the learning process. The struggle necessary to overcome all the obstacles makes it very rewarding when you’ve finally managed to execute all the jumps perfectly.

How to play Super Mario Run 2

To complete a stage successfully, you must break it down into individual parts and learn the correct method of dealing with every obstacle on your road to victory. Even once you’ve got it all figured out, getting the timings right isn’t to be taken for granted — it’s actually the hardest part.

Practice every step of the way diligently and don’t lose your temper even after dying on the section of the map you’ve completed multiple times. You must always remain focused on the next jump, regardless of how trivial it may seem.
