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 A-Type ''Tetris'', and they have to get the highest score possible with the remaining time they have.
 
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.
