Super Mario Run, despite the exclusively iOS release, in terms of the number of downloads in general, became the most downloaded game in December. The game was aggressively promoted by the App Store after its release on December 15. The app store, the first week after the launch of the project, gave all the big banners on the showcase to its advertising.
