If you’ve been waiting to play Super Mario Run no matter where you find yourself, there is going to be a limitation you’re going to have to live with. The new Super Mario game only works online. According to Mario creator and this game’s producer Shigeru Miyamoto, the game will always need an internet connection to play all its modes. Miyamoto cites security for the reason but also acknowledged that the reason is to help avoid piracy of the game. The game is expected to launch on December 15 for US$9.99 on iOS.
