Marshmallow characters

Marshmallow Run is a free one-thumb endless runner: tap to jump, dodge the spikes, and see how far your marshmallow can go. Six characters are waiting, and each one changes how you play — longer power-ups, double coins, a triple jump, or a shield from the very first step. Three are free just for playing, and the rest can be unlocked with coins you earn in the game.

Classic Mallow

The original. Balanced and squishy.

Free — yours from your very first run.

Toasted

Power-ups last 30% longer.

Free — unlocks when you reach level 3.

Cocoa Dip

Every coin is worth double.

Free — unlocks when you reach level 5.

Mint Puff

Triple jump instead of double.

Unlock with 1,200 coins earned in-game, or buy it for $1.99.

Golden Mallow

Starts every run with a shield.

Unlock with 3,000 coins earned in-game, or buy it for $2.99.

Cosmic Mallow

Speeds up more gently, and coins are worth 1.5x.

Unlock with 6,500 coins earned in-game, or buy it for $4.99.

How to unlock more characters

Coins drop along the desert trail on every run, and you also earn a coin bonus based on how far you get. Levels unlock as your best score climbs — Toasted arrives at level 3, Cocoa Dip at level 5. Mint Puff, Golden Mallow and Cosmic Mallow are bought with coins in the in-game shop, and you can pick them up directly if you would rather not grind. See the pricing page for the exact prices.

Which character is best?

For pure distance, Cosmic Mallow is the friendliest — it speeds up more gently, so late runs stay controllable. If you are saving for a skin, Cocoa Dip doubles every coin you touch. And if you keep dying to the first spike, Golden Mallow starts each run with a shield already on.
