During the ascent of the Wii, Nintendo experimented with an idea.

　　就在其第五代游戏Wii升级期间，任天堂将其一构想付诸试验。

　　In 2009, it launched the Wii console game New Super Mario Bros., a modern spin on the classic franchise that featured the ability for four people to break blocks and scoop up mushrooms together.

　　2009年，任天堂发行了第五代Wii电视游戏新超级马里奥兄弟，经典系列上的一个现代版本，特点是四个人拥有打破砖块和捡起蘑菇的能力。

　　As Nintendo developers worked on the game, they tinkered with a simpler concept for Super Mario, using the Wii remote and a single button, only controlling how Mario jumps without worrying about his movement.

　　随着任天堂开发商对此游戏不断的开发，他们使用一个更加简单的概念对超级马里奥进行了改进，即使用Wii控制器以及一个单一键，仅仅控制马里奥上下跳，而不用担心移动问题。

　　That experiment will come to life as Nintendo’s first ever smartphone game. Next week, the video game publisher will launch Super Mario Run for the iPhone.

　　作为任天堂第一款智能手游，此次尝试会使游戏变得更加有趣。下周，该电子游戏发行人将发行苹果版超级马里奥。

　　Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed game designer who helped bring Mario and other Nintendo icons to life, says the original idea was sparked by concerns Super Mario games were becoming too complex for a segment of the audience. He cites the original Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System, noting a big reason for its popularity was how easy it was to play.

　　曾帮助马里奥和任天堂其他游戏图标注入生命活力的著名游戏设计师宫本茂表示该游戏的最初构想源于对超级马里奥游戏的一些顾虑，比如对于一部分玩家来说这款游戏会变得越来越复杂，他引用原始版超级马里奥兄弟为例。而对于任天堂的娱乐系统来说，简单易上手是其广受欢迎的一大主要因素。

　　"We thought if we were to focus in on a game where you don’t have to worry about controlling Mario with the plus (shaped) control pad, and instead you could just focus in on Mario’s jumping, then it would make the game simpler for a wider audience to enjoy," said Miyamoto through a translator, during an interview with USA TODAY.

　　在今日美国的采访中宫本茂通过翻译向媒体表示：我们觉得在游戏中如果玩家能将精力更多的集中在马里奥上下跳跃上而不必担心通过使用加号形状控制板来对其进行控制，那么，整个游戏对于玩家来说就会变得简单多了。

　　Super Mario Run will feature three modes: World Tour, Toad Rally and Kingdom Builder. The game will be free to download, with limited access to all three modes. The game is a free download, but accessing all the levels will cost $9.99.

　　超级马里奥酷跑分为三大模式：World Tour, Toad Rally 以及 Kingdom Builder。该游戏可进行免费下载，但是只能试玩三个模式的部分关卡。虽然下载免费，但还需花费9.99美元购买完整版。
