| '''''Nintendo World Championships 1990''''' is a specialized [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] cartridge only ever used for the [[Nintendo World Championships]] held from March 8, 1990, to December 9, 1990, in 29 cities across the [[United States of America]]. It features one game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]—''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''—as well as ''{{wp|Rad Racer}}'' and ''[[nwiki:Tetris (NES)|Tetris]]'' as the other two games. The ''Super Mario Bros.'' challenge gave players 99 lives, although they had to collect 50 [[coin]]s in the shortest time possible. All three games were playable for only six minutes and 21 seconds each, but this was adjustable via {{wp|DIP switch}}es on the cartridge.
