'''''Nintendo Campus Challenge''''' is a special cart used in the event of the same name. There are two different cartridges produced for it: a [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] cartridge. The cartridge is considered to be even rarer than the [[Nintendo World Championships]] cartridge with only one known in existence. It is currently owned by a private collector.

The '''{{wp|Nintendo Campus Challenge}}''' was a video game competition that was sponsored by [[Nintendo]]. The competition occurred in 1991 and 1992, and they featured a [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version produced for the 1991 competition and a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] cartridge for the 1992 competition, respectively.


The 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge cartridge features two games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]—''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]''—as well as ''{{wp|Pin Bot (video game)|PIN·BOT}}''. ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s objective was to collect 25 [[coin]]s, while ''Dr. Mario''{{'}}s objective was merely to score as high as possible. After the allotted time ends, the player's scores are totaled; their score from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is multiplied by ten, and the score from ''Dr. Mario'' is multiplied by 100.

===NES version===
The NES game was used in the [[1991]] Nintendo Campus Challenge that toured fifty cities. The top prize was an all-expense trip to Florida for the next tournament, which took place in [[1992]].


The 1992 Nintendo Campus Challenge cartridge featured only one game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise—''[[Super Mario World]]''—as well as ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero|F-Zero]]'' and ''[[nwiki:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]''. In ''Super Mario World'', players are required to get 50 coins, similarly to the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' objective of the previous iteration. The ''Super Mario World'' score was unadjusted, simply being the player's overall score at the time of completing the challenge, but the ''F-Zero'' score was multiplied by 100, and the ''Pilotwings'' score by 10,000.
The NES game is a combination of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Pinbot|Pinbot]]''. It's unknown whether ''Pinbot'' or ''Dr. Mario'' were modified, but it's known that ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' was. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the players' goal is to collect twenty-five [[coin]]s.

After playing around each game, the player's scores are totaled. Each score is adjusted. The player's score from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is multiplied by ten and the player's score from ''Dr. Mario'' is multiplied by a hundred.

In 1992, the Nintendo Campus Challenge visited thirty-five different campuses including [[wikipedia:Central Michigan University|Central Michigan University]], [[wikipedia:Arizona State University|Arizona State University]], and [[wikipedia:Texas A & M University|Texas A & M University]]. The prize for winning at a university was a Super Nintendo with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''F-Zero'', and ''Pilotwings''. Second, third, and fourth place winners got $100, $75, and $50, respectively. The overall winner got $10,000.
 
The Super Nintendo game was a combination of ''Super Mario World'', ''[[wikipedia:F-Zero|F-Zero]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]''. Like the NES game, it too was modified. In ''Super Mario World'', players are required to get fifty coins. In ''F-Zero'', players are required to complete two laps. In ''Pilotwings'', players are required to parachute from two planes and land on a certain target.
 
The Super Nintendo version also adjusted the player's scores. The ''F-Zero'' score was multiplied by 100 and the player's ''Pilotwings'' score was multiplied by 10,000.
