The Nintendo Super System is an arcade machine made by Nintendo that can play Super Nintendo Entertainment System games, similar to how the VS. System and PlayChoice-10 arcade machines could play Nintendo Entertainment System games. This includes games of the Super Mario franchise, with one example being Super Mario World. The games on the Nintendo Super System are nearly identical to the original releases but with an added fixed time limit. Twelve Nintendo Super System ports were made. Most of these machines had only one game per system, but some versions included multiple games in one.
