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 Bros.—as well as Rad Racer and Tetris as the other two games. The Super Mario Bros. challenge gave players 99 lives, with the goal to collect 50 coins. All three games are playable for only a fixed amount of time (6 minutes and 21 seconds by default), but this can be adjusted via DIP switches on the cartridge.
