If you are like me, you downloaded Super Mario Run and realized that it doesn't take much time to go through the whole tour. It's fun, but is that all there is to Super Mario Run? The answer:no way.

If you really want to master Super Mario Run, there are plenty of other gameplay you can enjoy. This includes bonus games, toad rallies, and building your mushroom kingdom. Plus, there are easy ways to increase your Tower Mode scores and unlock new rewards. Ultimately, if you want to conquer the game and get the most out of the $10 you've spent, check out these four tips.

Collect pink, purple, and black coins

Those pink pieces you see throughout the tour aren't just there to look pretty. Collecting all five in a level unlocks Toad Rally Tickets which you can use to participate in rallies. But don't stop there. Once you get all five pink coins, purple coins will appear in this level in totally different places. Get them to earn more toad rally tickets, then finally collect all the new black coins that appear in a level.

Besides earning you all those extra Toad Rally Tickets, these multi-colored coins ensure that replaying levels over and over again is fun every time. They present new challenges and also new ways to earn more regular coins that you can spend on Mushroom Kingdom add-ons and rewards.

Build your kingdom

All the coins you earn can be used to build your mushroom kingdom. You can add anything from small decorations to spruce up the place or entire buildings that unlock new gameplay. Some of these buildings contain rewards or bonus games that you can play every eight hours. Playing gives you a chance to win a toad rally ticket or extra coins. Expanding your kingdom is a great way to add even more value to Super Mario Run beyond tower and rally modes.

Add friends to compare scores

Get lots of friends on board by playing Super Mario Run. Once you add friends, you will be able to see their high scores for each level in tour mode. It's a great motivational tool to make you want to beat that score. Plus, while you're trying to beat the score, you can also try out all those pink, purple, and black coins.

Tap Friends while viewing your Mushroom Kingdom, then tap Add to get your Gamer ID and send it to a friend.

While it's not yet possible to compete directly with friends - just take part in "friendly races", another social aspect is the rally mode. This is where you spend your toad rally tickets to play against other players online. In a single level, you race against the clock to collect the most coins and gain the support of the most Toads.

Collect My Nintendo points for rewards

My Nintendo Points are another form of currency beyond coins and Toad Rally Tickets. You earn them mainly by going through the beats. You get it after completing each world, linking your Nintendo Account, completing daily challenges, and more. Those My Nintendo Points can net you regular coins, Toad Rally tickets, or my favorite:a golden Mario statue. (It's just virtual, unfortunately.)
