'''''Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition''''' is a game for [[Nintendo Switch]] based on the [[Nintendo World Championships]] competitions, released on July 18, 2024. Similar to the ''[[NES Remix (series)|NES Remix]]'' series, the game revolves around completing challenges based on various first-party [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] titles, including games from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The game was revealed on May 8, 2024, in a trailer that featured past winners and participants of the Nintendo World Championships.<ref name=Trailer>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=May 8, 2024|language=en-us|url=youtu.be/ELmBYBga5SY|title=Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition — Announcement Trailer — Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 8, 2024}}</ref>

==Gameplay==
''Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition'' features three single-player modes &mdash; Speedrun Mode, World Championships, and Survival Mode &mdash; as well as a multiplayer Party Mode.<ref name=Treehouse>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=July 3, 2024|url=https://youtu.be/KHjJ2FqzvHc|title=Nintendo Treehouse Plays Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition — Nintendo Switch|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 4, 2024}}</ref>

In Speedrun Mode, players compete in over 150 challenges that entail completing a specific action in an NES game in the fastest amount of time possible, such as reaching a goal, collecting an item, or defeating a boss or group of enemies. Each challenge has a difficulty level rated on a scale of one to five stars, and the player is assigned a letter rank based on how fast they completed the challenge. While a challenge is being played, a timer is displayed at the bottom-left corner of the screen; the player's personal best time and button inputs are also displayed on the left, and their profile (which displays their set name, icon, and favorite NES game) on the right. If the player loses, the game automatically rewinds to before they lost, though the timer will continue counting up.<ref name=Overview>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=July 11, 2024|url=https://youtu.be/wW3rNlfRgyM|title=Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition — Overview Trailer — Nintendo Switch|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 11, 2024}}</ref> Before a challenge, the player can view a demo video that shows how the challenge is played or a replay of their personal best run; for five star-difficulty challenges, the player can also view "classified information", which contains a visual guide showing how the player can complete them.<ref name=June2024Direct/>

[[Coin]]s are awarded for completing challenges, which are used to unlock more challenges. The number of coins earned depends on the challenge's difficulty and the player's rank. Extra coins are also awarded for clearing certain objectives, such as achieving a new personal best time or participating in the World Championships.<ref name=Gamepage>{{cite|language=en-us|url=www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-world-championships-nes-edition-switch|title=Nintendo World Championships: NES™ Edition|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=May 9, 2024}}</ref><ref name=Trailer/>

In World Championships, players with a [[Nintendo Switch Online]] membership compete in a weekly set of five challenges and have their scores ranked on a global leaderboard.<ref name=Trailer/>

Survival Mode is another online mode in which the player competes against ghost data of other players around the world in an elimination tournament consisting of three rounds: the first with the starting eight players, the second with the top four players, and the third with the top two players. The tournament has two divisions: a Silver Division and a more challenging Gold Division with higher-ranking players.<ref name=Treehouse/>

In Party Mode, up to eight players race against each other locally in challenges. They can choose to play a series of challenges in themed challenge packs or individual challenges.<ref name=Treehouse/>

The player can also earn pins when completing challenges with an A rank or higher or winning in the Survival Mode divisions for the first time, which can be equipped to their profile and displayed under the game screen during challenges.<ref name=Treehouse/>

===Featured games===
Thirteen NES games are featured, five of which are from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.<ref name=Gamepage/>

==Prohibited glitches==
If the player performs any of the following glitches, the game displays a message that says the strategy is unavailable. The game is then rewound to before the glitch takes effect or restarts the challenge from the beginning. During this, the player's timer is not affected and still increments up.
