Nintendo has officially expanded its digital presence by releasing Super Mario Run stickers on iMessage for iPhone and iPad users.
This timely rollout not only gives fans new ways to express themselves but also lays the promotional groundwork for the highly anticipated launch of Super Mario Run, Nintendo’s next major mobile game, set to arrive in December 2016.
Super Mario Run marks a significant milestone for Nintendo, as it represents the company's debut platformer designed specifically for mobile devices.
The game, developed and published by Nintendo, will be available exclusively on Apple's iOS devices—namely the iPhone and iPad—through the App Store at launch, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between Nintendo and Apple.
By introducing Super Mario Run stickers ahead of the game's full release, Nintendo leverages brand awareness and user engagement in the ever-growing mobile market.
Now available to download from the App Store, the Super Mario Run sticker pack features a selection of expressive Mario-themed images and elements inspired by the classic Super Mario World series.
iPhone and iPad users can enhance their conversations by selecting from a variety of Mario's iconic expressions or decorating their messages with key items and characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.
The stickers provide a playful way to personalize texts, allowing anyone to emulate Mario by adding his signature cap or mustache to photos within iMessage.
An excerpt from the official App Store description reads: “Show off your feelings with Mario’s expressions or use items to decorate your conversations to make them look like a scene from Mario’s world.
By adding a cap or moustache to a photo, anyone can be Mario!”
With this release, Nintendo continues its innovative approach to engaging new and longtime fans across multiple platforms.
The Super Mario Run sticker pack serves as both a fun communication tool and a strategic piece of marketing for the upcoming mobile title.
As anticipation builds for Super Mario Run’s December launch, iOS users now have a fresh way to celebrate Nintendo’s beloved mascot directly from their Apple devices—further demonstrating Nintendo’s commitment to reaching audiences beyond traditional gaming consoles.
Super Mario Run will be available for download on the App Store in December 2016.
The iMessage sticker pack can be found in the Apple App Store today.
