Nintendo World Championships

Nintendo World Championships is a special cart used in the Nintendo Campus Challenge. There were two different cartridges produced for it: a NES and a SNES cartridge.

NES Game
The NES game was used in the 1991 Nintendo Campus Challenge. The Challenge took place in 1991 and visited 50 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, 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 25 coins.

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 10 and your score from Dr. Mario was multiplied by 100.

Super Nintendo Game
In 1992, the Nintendo Campus Challenge visited 35 different campuses including Central Michigan University, Arizona State University, and Texas A & M University. The prize for winning at a university was a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World, F-Zero, and Pilotwings. 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 50 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.

The Super Nintendo version also adjusted your scores. The F-Zero score was multiplied by 100 and your Pilotwings score was multiplied by 10,000.

This game is very rare.
