In these moments it’s really important to preserve your iPhone’s precious battery life. And you can do that by following the guide below.

Set Graphics to Low

Super Mario Run itself has settings to lower graphics performance. This means your iPhone won’t be using as much energy.

To do this, tap the “Menu” button from the Kingdom screen and select “Settings“.

Then tap on “Options“.

From this screen, select the “Low” option for “Rendering Settings” and “Graphics Settings”

Use iPhone’s Low Power Mode

Alternatively, you can also use iPhone’s own low power mode. You can enable it from “Settings” -> “Battery” -> “Low Power Mode“.

Switch to Wi-Fi

Super Mario Run requires you to maintain a constant internet connection. Whenever possible use Wi-Fi for doing this instead of using 4G. It will really help with the battery life.
