Nintendo World Championships 1990 is the cartridge used in the 1990 edition of the Nintendo World Championships. The game requires players to play Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer, and Tetris.

Competition rules

The aim of the competition is to achieve the highest competition score within the time limit (6 minutes 21 seconds on default settings). The players have the following goals for each game:

  • Super Mario Bros.: Gain 50 coins as fast as possible.
  • Rad Racer: Complete the track as fast as possible.
  • Tetris: Score as high as possible before time expires.

The competition score is computed by adding the score from Super Mario Bros., the score from Rad Racer multiplied by 10, and the score from Tetris multiplied by 25. Due to the high score multiplier for Tetris, the highest scores are achieved by clearing the first two objectives as fast as possible then scoring high in Tetris.

  • The piece sequence is fixed based on the score in the Super Mario Bros. section.
