==Tasks==
Like in the [[Nintendo World Championships]], the Nintendo PowerFest '94 cartridge had three games, each having a task that the player had to complete within a certain amount of time. The first two games on the Nintendo PowerFest '94 cartridge are from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]: the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''{{'}}s ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' [[reissue|remake]] and ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the goal was to complete [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-1]] as quickly as possible, while in ''Super Mario Kart'', the players had to get 5 laps on [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|Mario Circuit 1]].

Players like in the [[Nintendo World Championships]] had to complete 3 tasks. The following tasks on the following games are shown below:
The final score of each player for the two games was calculated with the following equation: Score from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' + (Coins collected in ''Super Mario Kart'' x 1,000) + Finishing position score)


*''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' - Players had to complete Level 1-1 as fast as possible.
Nintendo PowerFest '94 had four teams. The top two players on Team Tornadoes, Iarossi Mike and Brandon Veach, played against each other on [[Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge|a specialized version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Iarossi was victorious, ultimately receiving the tile as the 1994 Nintendo PowerFest World Champion.


*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' - Players had to get 5 laps on the track selected.

Also, again, just like the Nintendo World Championships, the player's scores are multiplied and then added together to get the total. After completing ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the score is multiplied by 1. However, in ''Super Mario Kart'', there is an exception. You can get extra points depending on what place you finish, and coins are worth 1,000 points. After finishing ''Ken Griffey Jr. Home Run Derby'', the score is multiplied by 1,000,000.

==Competitions==
 
The Town Competitions were held for three days and the finals were held on a late Sunday afternoon. Eight people had the Top 8 final scores, so they were entered into the Top 8.
 
'''Top 8''':
 
The top 4 people with the highest scores moved on to the next round.
'''Top 4''':
 
The 4 people who had the 4 highest scores who were from the Top 8 were now down to the 2nd round where eventually the two people with the highest scores went to the Top 2 round.
 
'''Top 2''':
 
The 2 people with the highest scores played head-to-head and whoever got the highest score was crowned the "Town Champion"
Eventually after the World Finals the top 2 people played a specialized version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Whoever had the highest score was crowned the World Champion of the Nintendo Powerfest '94, which was Mike Iarossi.
 
==Legacy==
For the competition there were 33 cartridges which were produced by Nintendo, and after the competition were used in stores for over 100 events. However, out of the 33 cartridges that were produced, Nintendo ordered for them to be sent back to them, but however, there is still one in existence, which is valued at $10,000 being one of the most expensive video game cartridges in history.
