So, we now have an official Mario game on mobile phones. Which of these predictions came true?

- There is indeed a tutorial explaining in surprisingly tedious detail how to jump.

- There are social/sharing features. (And even requires an internet connection to play).

- There are rewards for grinding out kills of specific enemy types.

- There are no micro-transactions for consumable items; just a single payment to unlock the full game.
