There are certain skills that you need to acquire. Here are some tips to help you get as many freebies, specifically coins and other rewards, in the game faster than anyone else.

Master the Art of Tapping

Tapping is the only action that you can do in the game as a player but it does not mean that it is a monotonous gameplay mechanic. There are various ways for your character to make special moves just with a tap on the screen. 

You also need proper timing to tap on the screen to avoid falling over a cliff, bumping over a platform, or getting hit by the enemy. 

A quick tap on the screen means a short jump but if you hold your finger on the screen longer, your character will jump higher.

Go Back in Time

When it comes to playing Super Mario Run Mobile, it is all about collecting as many coins as possible. While there will be instances where you might miss a few coins in a level, you can always go back a few seconds by tapping on the bubble at the top portion of your screen. 

This will set you back a few seconds if you think you might have missed some coins. 

Be sure that you know when to activate this option so you can make the most out of your time going back a few seconds into the game. If not, try to save it for later when it is more crucial.

Stomp Your Enemies

Super Mario Run Mobile features classic enemies and new ones that can only be defeated by stomping on them or using your power-up to remove them your way. 

Make sure that you stomp every enemy you encounter without taking damage. Stomping lets you earn extra coins along the way so be sure to stomp all of the enemies that you see to maximize your profit. 

The more coins you get, the more rewards you receive by the end of each level.

Unlock Mario's Friends

Once you have enough coins, you can then unlock Mario's other friends including Luigi, Peach, and many more. Each of these characters has their own abilities. For example, Luigi can jump higher while Peach can float in the air. 

You can also unlock Toad for free by linking your My Nintendo account to the game. You can unlock more characters by playing Toad Rally. 

Once you unlock the characters, you can then choose a specific character to play right before the start of each level.

Don't Forget to Pause

Playing Super Mario Run Mobile is very fun but it can also be physically taxing, especially on your fingers from tapping the screen. 

Make sure to take a quick break after a few minutes of playing the game by pausing. You can pause the game by tapping the Pause button at the top left corner of the screen at any time. 

Just make sure that you don't pause right in the middle of a fight against an enemy. Pause the game where your character is in a safe spot.
