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.


==NES Game==
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.
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 NES game was a combination of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'', and ''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'', your goal was to collect twenty-five [[coin]]s.
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.


After you played around of each game, your scores were totaled. Each scored was adjusted. Your score from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' was multiplied by ten and your score from ''Dr. Mario'' was multiplied by a hundred.

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'', ''F-Zero'', and ''Pilotwings''. Like the NES game, it too was modified. In ''Super Mario World'', you have to get fifty coins. In ''F-Zero'', you have to complete two laps. In ''Pilotwings'', you have to parachute from two planes and land on a certain target.
