In Google's accounting of the top downloaded music, movies, games, and general things of 2017, with Nintendo's Super Mario Run topping the list for most downloaded game on the Google Play store.
The game, which is free to download but costs money to upgrade beyond the first world, was released on Android on March 22 after a four month exclusivity window for iOS. The game launched to generally mixed reception on both stores due to its price structure, which was seemingly out sync with the audience.

Our Take
Nintendo once stated their goal for mobile games was to serve as an advertisement for their console games, so maybe this is a good result for them even without the acceptable profit.
