The game is packed with over 150 speedrun challenges, allowing you to relive memorable moments from games like Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Metroid. You can play solo, compete against global players’ clear times, or invite friends and family for local multiplayer gameplay of up to eight players on a single system. For life on the go, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition offers some great “bite-size” or larger challenges for those shorter moments on a commute or long-haul travel on a plane.
Speedrun and Survival Modes
If you are new to speed running, the game offers a Speedrun Mode where you can start small by, for example, seeing how quickly you can snag the first mushroom in Super Mario Bros. or gobble up an enemy in Kirby’s Adventure. As you hone your skills, you can take on more challenging tasks in Survival Mode and the World Championships or test your limits with the extra-tough Legend Challenges. If you get stuck, the in-game Classified Information provides tips and tricks to help you improve.
