Update: Nintendo has now confirmed that unlocking all of Super Mario Run’s content will set UK consumers back 7.99.

The release date of Nintendo’s plumber mascot’s first foray into the mobile world has been confirmed.

Nintendo has revealed that the mobile title will be launching on December 15th on iOS. While gamers can try the title for free, a one time payment of $9.99 will unlock the rest of the game’s content.

A release date for the Android SKU is yet to be revealed.

Super Mario Run was unveiled on-stage by Shigeru Minamoto at Apple’s iPhone 7 event in September. The success of Pokmon Go this year has caused Nintendo to raise its expectations for the mobile title.

The wait is almost over for a Super Mario game that can be played on mobile devices,” said Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing, Doug Bowser.

Developed under the direction of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, Super Mario Run brings a new take on the series’ beloved action-platforming gameplay to iPhone and iPad for the first time.”

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
