Super Mario Run Launches Crossover Event with Mario & Luigi: Brothership on Nintendo Switch

Super Mario Run, Nintendo’s pioneering mobile platformer, continues to receive fresh updates nearly eight years after its original release on iOS and Android.

In a move that honors today’s launch of Mario & Luigi: Brothership on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo has announced a special crossover event within Super Mario Run.

This limited-time event, running from June 27 until December 19, 2024, brings iconic elements from the newly released Mario & Luigi title to fans of the mobile classic.

Upon opening Super Mario Run during the event period, players will find a new objective titled 'Mario and Luigi’s New Adventure! Special Mission.' Completing this challenge gives players the opportunity to earn exclusive in-game statues featuring beloved characters Mario, Luigi, and several new friends from Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

These decorative items can be proudly displayed in the user’s Mushroom Kingdom plaza, offering a fresh way for seasoned players to personalize their hub and celebrate Nintendo’s enduring franchise crossover.

The special missions available during this event are designed to be accessible to both new and returning players.

Tasks include collecting a total of 1,500 coins and clearing World 1-1 without defeating any Goombas.

While the mission text suggests a requirement to 'clear the game without defeating any Goombas,' it specifically applies to World 1-1, allowing for a straightforward completion path and inviting a broad range of fans to participate.

Super Mario Run, developed and published by Nintendo, made its debut in December 2016 and quickly became a staple on both the App Store and Google Play, amassing over 200 million downloads worldwide.

The game stands out as a one-touch platformer that brought many of the hallmarks of traditional Super Mario gameplay—such as precise jumping and coin collection—to the mobile format.

Over the years, Nintendo has periodically refreshed Super Mario Run with time-limited events and content additions, keeping the experience relevant for mobile gamers and Nintendo loyalists alike.

The launch of Mario & Luigi: Brothership for the Nintendo Switch—a title developed in-house by Nintendo and part of the critically acclaimed Mario & Luigi RPG series—marks another milestone for the company.

The crossover event in Super Mario Run not only commemorates this new release but also cements Nintendo’s strategy of interlinking its mobile and console experiences.

Whether you're a Super Mario Run veteran or someone revisiting the game after a hiatus, this special event is a unique way to connect with both the mobile classic and the new Mario & Luigi adventure on Switch.

Don’t miss the chance to complete the mission and collect these limited-edition Mario and Luigi statues before the event concludes on December 19, 2024.
