Super Mario Let's Run

Super Mario Let's Run is the first main-series(?) Super Mario game on the Nintendo Switch, published by Nintendo on October 27, 2017. Hence the title, the game features integration with the preexisting mobile game Super Mario Run.
Let's Run is a "return" to the levels of Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System. There are quotes around "return" because, by featuring elaborate World 1 nostalgia self-indulgence in every prior Mario game possible, Nintendo never let us leave the levels of Super Mario Bros. to begin with.
The game has a tie-in accessory, the Question Block Plus, which makes weird sounds when shaken.
==Plot==
The game's plot is very similar to that of Super Mario Bros., with the exception of Hammer Bros. being replaced by a new, friendly enemy.
==Gameplay==
On the surface, Super Mario Let's Run plays similarly to prior entries in the series, aside from Mario using a simplified auto-running movement system based on Super Mario Run, in a pathetic effort to get more mobile gamers to purchase the Nintendo Switch.
In tandem with this shift, jumps are now used as a secondary currency, and are performed using motion controls. There is no option to use buttons instead, thereby excluding players with certain types of disabilities.
===Power-ups===
The Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Super Star, and 1-Up Mushroom reappear. Let's Run's power-up selection is, for the most part, inexplicably re-limited to these power-ups, despite almost all later games expanding upon the available options.
The only new power-up is the Metal Flower, which is basically a recolor of an existing one. To find it, a player must link Super Mario Let's Run to a purchased copy of Super Mario Run.
==Reception==
This game was simultaneously aimed at more casual mobile gamers, despite being on a relatively prohibitively expensive console; and at a fictional demographic of fanatics of a single game that has since been outclassed consistently, who wouldn't represent the opinions of most of the series's fanbase anyway. These nested oxymorons give Super Mario Let's Run no clear target audience.
Leading up to the release, certain sites also criticized the game for sketchy, cynical revenue models and many strange gameplay decisions.
Despite this, Let's Run was recieved amicably across the board, since the development of a more traditional game had been hinted at with no further information. Many Mario fans seemed okay with the fact that Let's Run was "not for them", despite it delaying the production of a game that might have been.
Speedrunners and wundashwunners (who don't, like, exist) got what they wanted.
