Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition

Play it like it’s 1990

Take on over 150 retro speed-running challenges in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition for Nintendo Switch. Hone your skills and see if you have what it takes to be a champion!

Byte-sized challenges against the clock

Set, beat and perfect your times in the single player Speedrun Mode. See how quickly you can grab the first Super Mushroom in Super Mario Bros. or how fast you can gobble up an enemy in Kirby’s Adventure.

Each challenge is taken from one of 13 classic NES titles…

Two’s company, eight’s a championship

Gather up to eight players in the local multiplayer Party Mode to take on challenges individually or in themed packs. No need to master entire games – anyone can become a Nintendo World Champion if they can conquer these challenges!

Take on the world

With Nintendo Switch Online, you can compete against players from across the globe in the World Championships. Record your best time in the five weekly challenges and see if you can emerge as the fastest player of the week.

Pit yourself against other players’ ghost data across three rounds in Survival Mode. You’ll need to place in the top half to qualify for the next round, so aim to be the fastest player and claim victory!
