"Hello, Mario!" Are you ready to play? With this free application from the little-kid-friendly My Mario brand, you and your kiddo can play with Mario's face and delight in all his various expressions. ■Make Silly Faces Team up with your kiddo to see how silly Mario can get when you pull and stretch his face or take turns poking and spinning him around. Tap on the ? Block in the top-left corner of the screen and select an icon to make items—like a Super Mushroom, a Super Star, or pipes—and even enemies appear alongside Mario. ■Peekaboo! Invite Mario to play peekaboo by tapping on the leftmost icon in the ? Block menu. Boo may even make a guest appearance! ■Built-In Breaks Good night, Mario! Mario gets tuckered out after playing for a while and will fall fast asleep. At that point no amount of poking can wake him up! This is a great opportunity to take a break and help parents limit their child's screen time. If you want to keep the fun going, you can turn off this feature by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen when the application starts. ■Play Offline There's no need to be connected to the internet to play this application. After you download it, you're good to go! Operation is not guaranteed for all devices that meet the operating conditions. It may not work properly depending on the device's performance and specifications, device-specific application usage conditions, etc. Please be sure to read the Health and Safety information provided in the application settings before you start playing. Settings can be accessed by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen when the application starts to access the menu. ©Nintendo

Meet your new Dash Pals! Pick a fluffy bunny, a sparkly unicorn, a friendly gorilla, or hop behind the wheel of a rocket-fast car — then run, jump, and dash across colorful worlds collecting coins along the way. Dash Pals is a bright, simple, and endlessly fun runner anyone can pick up. Easy one-tap controls mean you jump right in, while more characters, colors, and levels keep the fun going. WHAT MAKES DASH PALS SPECIAL: CHOOSE YOUR PAL Play as a girl or boy character and pick from a growing cast of original characters — bunnies, kittens, unicorns, mermaids, fairies, princesses, gorillas, elephants and giraffes for the girls; cars, jets, rockets, trucks, bikes and helicopters for the boys. CUSTOMIZE YOUR STYLE Girls can mix and match hair colors and outfit colors to make their character truly their own. COLLECT COINS, UNLOCK MORE Every coin collected while running brings you closer to unlocking new characters and vehicles. Coins are always within easy reach — no frustrating precision jumps required. LEVEL UP AS YOU PLAY Backgrounds and scenery change as you level up, and the challenge grows gradually so the game stays fun without ever feeling unfair. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Dash Pals is available in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Hebrew, and Arabic. CHEERFUL SOUND Bright sound effects and a looping music-box style soundtrack — with separate mute switches for music and sound effects, so you're always in control. BUILT WITH FAMILIES IN MIND A parental gate protects every real-money purchase, so coin packs and premium characters can't be bought by accident. Download Dash Pals now and start your dash!
