Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch based on the competitions of the same name, set to be released on July 18, 2024. Similar to the NES Remix series, the game revolves around completing challenges based on various first-party Nintendo Entertainment System titles, including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. 3, and more games from the Super Mario franchise. The game was revealed on May 8, 2024, in a trailer that featured past winners and participants of the Nintendo World Championships.[1]

Gameplay

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition features three modes: Speedrun Mode, World Championships, and Party Mode.

In Speedrun Mode, players compete in over 150 challenges that entail completing a specific action in an NES game in the fastest amount of time possible, such as reaching a goal, collecting an item, or defeating a boss or group of enemies. Each challenge has a difficulty level rated on a scale of one to five stars, and the player is assigned a letter rank based on how fast they completed the challenge. While a challenge is being played, a timer is displayed at the bottom-left corner of the screen; the player's personal best time and button inputs are also displayed on the left, and their profile (which displays their set name, icon, and favorite NES game) on the right. Before a challenge, the player can view a demo video that shows how the challenge is played or a replay of their personal best run. Coins are awarded for completing challenges, which are used to unlock more challenges. The number of coins earned depends on the challenge's difficulty and the player's rank; extra coins are also awarded for clearing certain objectives such as achieving a new personal best time or participating in the World Championships.[2][1]

In World Championships, players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership compete in a weekly set of five challenges and have their scores ranked on a global leaderboard.[1]

In Party Mode, up to eight players race against each other locally in challenges.[1]
