''' | '''Nintendo Powerfest '94''' (which is also called the '''Nintendo World Championships II''', or just simply '''Nintendo Powerfest'''), is a cartridge of a video game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], and was a video-game competition in 1994 promoted by [[Nintendo]].

Players like in the [[Nintendo World Championships]] had to complete 3 tasks. The following tasks on the following games are shown below: | |||
*''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' - Players had to complete Level 1-1 as fast as possible. | |||
*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' - Players had to get 5 laps on the track selected. | |||
== | *''[[wikipedia:Ken Griffey Jr. Home Run Derby|Ken Griffey Jr. Home Run Derby]]'' - Players had to select the mode "home run derby" and hit as many home runs as they could. | ||
Also, again, just like the Nintendo World Championships, the player's scores are multiplied and then added together to get the total. After completing ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the score is multiplied by 1. However, in ''Super Mario Kart'', there is an exception. You can get extra points depending on what place you finish, and coins are worth 1,000 points. After finishing ''Ken Griffey Jr. Home Run Derby'', the score is multiplied by 1,000,000. | |||

==Competitions== | |||
The Town Competitions were held for three days and the finals were held on a late Sunday afternoon. Eight people had the Top 8 final scores, so they were entered into the Top 8. | |||
'''Top 8''': | |||
The top 4 people with the highest scores moved on to the next round. | |||
'''Top 4''': | |||
The 4 people who had the 4 highest scores who were from the Top 8 were now down to the 2nd round where eventually the two people with the highest scores went to the Top 2 round. | |||
'''Top 2''': | |||
The 2 people with the highest scores played head-to-head and whoever got the highest score was crowned the "Town Champion" | |||
Eventually after the World Finals the top 2 people played a special version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Whoever had the highest score was crowned the World Champion of the Nintendo Powerfest '94, which was Mike Iarossi. | |||
==Legacy== | |||
For the competition there were 33 cartridges which were produced by Nintendo, and after the competition were used in stores for over 100 events. However, out of the 33 cartridges that were produced, Nintendo ordered for them to be sent back to them, but however, there is still one in existence, which is valued at $10,000 being one of the most expensive video game cartridges in history. | |||
