'''''Nintendo World Championships 1990''''' is a | The '''''Nintendo World Championships 1990''''' is a special version of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. There are only 116 cartridges in existence, and they were used for the [[Nintendo World Championships]] held from March 8, 1990, to December 9, 1990, in 29 cities across the United States. 90 gray cartridges were given to the 90 finalists, and 26 gold cartridges were given away in a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' contest. Because of this, the ''Nintendo World Championships 1990'' is an extremely rare cartridge that usually sells for high prices. | ||
== | ==Information== | ||
The ''Nintendo World Championships 1990'' features ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''{{wp|Rad Racer}}'', and ''{{wp|Tetris (NES video game)|Tetris}}'' as games. During the contest, all three games could be played for only a total of six minutes and 21 seconds, but this could be changed via {{wp|DIP switch}}es on the cartridge. | |||
The first playable game is ''Super Mario Bros.''. Players are given 99 lives, and are required to collect 50 coins in the shortest time possible. After completing ''Super Mario Bros.'', the cartridge moves on to ''Rad Racer'', where the player must complete the first track of the game in the shortest time possible. Finally, players can play ''Tetris'' in marathon mode, and they have to get the highest score possible with the remaining time they have left. | |||
After the player plays a round of each game, their scores are totaled and some scores are adjusted. The player's score in ''Rad Racer'' and ''Tetris'' are multiplied by ten and twenty five, respectively. | |||
The ''Nintendo World Championships 1990'' is referenced in ''[[NES Remix 2]]''{{'}}s Competition Mode, which is set up like the cartridge. | |||
