Nintendo's Super Mario Run Sticker Pack Launches Ahead of iOS 10

[MacRumors]

Nintendo today released its promised Super Mario Run sticker pack designed for the Messages App Store, offering Nintendo fans a selection of high-quality Super Mario stickers to share.

The Super Mario Run sticker pack can be downloaded on an iOS device, but it is not listed in the dedicated Messages App Store nor can it be installed on a device running an iOS 10 beta or the iOS 10 golden master.

When iOS 10 becomes available to the public tomorrow morning, the Super Mario Run sticker pack, along with other sticker packs, will be accessible. We expect to see iOS 10 released right around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on September 13.

Unveiled at Apple's September 9 event, Super Mario Run is an upcoming Mario-themed endless runner. In the game, Mario runs forward continuously while players jump to collect coins and avoid enemies, and there's also a "Toad Rally" battle mode for competing against other players.

Apple is promoting Super Mario Run heavily, including offering a new "Notify" system in the App Store that will let players know when it's released. According to the Super Mario Run Stickers app, Super Mario Run will see an official launch in December of 2016.

So... not released?

I just downloaded and installed it on my 6s running the GM.

Uh... I was able to install it on iOS 10 GM too.

I just got an update to an app to support stickers in iMessage and it works already.

 

[okboy]

Can't find it anywhere on the iMessage store.

 

[Sirious]

I installed it

Can't find it anywhere on the iMessage store.

You have to specifically search for Mario. Otherwise it doesn't show up with the rest of sticker packs.

How do you search in the Messages store?

EDIT: Found it in the app store by viewing Nintendo Co Ltd's apps.

Full Messages App Store seems to be live.

I get how to use the stickers like a pic, but how do I use the stickers above/on a text? And how do I use the mustache on a face? I'm not quite following...

 

[DotCom2]

It's telling me I need to have iOS 10 in order to install

 

[stiligFox]

Incidentally - they show Mario sitting on an iMessage text itself. Is that just a bullshot or is that a real thing? Mine didn't work like that...

EDIT: Whoa, just realized you can drag a sticker anywhere on the screen... trippy! Wasn't expecting that.

Works as advertised!

Since the Messages App Store just launched, the sticker pack is available. Wish these were animated though... having used a ton of sticker packs during the beta, animated stickers is where it's at.

 

[SoSickSadNslOw]

What are the prices or they're free?

 

[KALLT]

What a terrible background.

 

[Rob198612]

What are the prices or they're free?

Ranges from 0.99 to 1.99 maybe higher.

The Cookie Monster one is animated!

Well from Free to $2.99 really (so far). The Mario pack is free.

 

[6836838]

People are actually admitting to buying this? That's gotta be an instant ban on MR, surely?

 

[poppy10]

Oh god, this is going to be the next "Apple Watch strap" meme

Every time Apple announce a new sticker pack instead of an actual product update we will get all the complaints about lack of innovation

 

[Kaibelf]

ugh, static stickers are so boring.

Then use some of the animated ones like the PAC Man collection

Free or a buck from what I'm seeing

Drag them up into the text area. Can be anywhere. Think of it as an unlimited virtual whiteboard

Interesting. Shame that everyone I know uses Facebook Messenger though. Automated reminders (e.g. doctor, mail) are the only things I get in the Messages app nowadays.

You're way too late to the party, Apple.

Stickers is one of those rare occasions where Apple made the feature look worse in their demo than it actually is. When you consider the vast number of properties and themes that can be implemented, there's going to be something for everyone.

As for myself, a good ol' Picard facepalm cannot come soon enough.
