Let’s-a-Go: The Physics of Jumping in Super Mario Run
from Science, Spoken · host SpokenLayer
Of course I'm not the first to look at the physics in Super Mario Bros-there was this interesting paper looking at the optimal jump to get to the highest point on the flag at the end of the level. There is also a nice page looking at the acceleration of jumping Mario in the different games. Good stuff. But there's a new game out-Super Mario Run on iOS and Android. This is a great chance to take another look at the physics of Mario. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
