While the big N has stated that their first mobile game release Super Mario Run [Free] wouldn't be getting major content updates during the course of its life, they've still been pretty active about updating the game in general and running new events and sometimes even adding new features, like the "Friendly Run" mode back in December and the "Loads of Coins" event a couple of weeks ago. Today they've gone and done it again by updating Super Mario Run not with actual new content but with a major tweaking to how the game works in an effort to appeal to those who find it too challenging. It's called "Easy Mode" and you'll get the option to replay a level in this new way once you've failed it at least once. Easy Mode removes the time limit and also gives you unlimited bubble redos, meaning you can die as often as you want and can take as much time doing so as you wish!
Here's the catch: You won't be able to keep any of the coins you've collected during Easy Mode. That goes for the colored coins as well as the regular golden coins, so don't go thinking you can quickly 100% the game now that Easy Mode has arrived. It's simply a way to allow people extra ways to familiarize themselves with the levels and practice before going back and doing them "for real."
