Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch)

Bring the Nintendo World Championships to your living room!

Test your speedrunning skills across more than 150 challenging moments from 13 classic NES™ games*! Compete against players around the world online**, challenge your friends on the couch***, or try to see how far you can push your personal bests.

Do you have what it takes to be a champion? The tougher challenges may truly test your limits!

Put your skills to the test

With "byte-sized" challenges, you don't need to master entire games to feel like a Nintendo World Champion. And don’t worry if you’ve never played a millisecond of the original games—newcomers are welcome!

• Select a challenge - Relive memorable moments with challenges across 13 classic NES games*. Start small by seeing how quickly you can blaze through the first level of the Super Mario Bros.™ game or how fast you can gobble up an enemy in the Kirby’s Adventure™ game.
• See how it’s done - Before you get started, you can watch a video clip showing how to complete the challenge. Use this info as a guide for your own run.
• Speedrun like the wind - Complete challenges to earn a letter ranking. If you play a challenge again, your previous best run will play side by side with your current run. See if you can set a new personal best!
• Unlock more stuff - Complete challenges to earn in-game coins. Use them to unlock even more challenges to take on!

Compete against players around the world

Jump into the World Championship Mode with a Nintendo Switch Online membership**! Aim for a spot on the leaderboards in five challenges that rotate each week.

Compare your personal best times with others at the end of each week, or sit back and watch the fastest run for each challenge.

More ways to play

Aim for the top of your living room podium with modes you can play with friends*** and on your own.

• Challenge your friends - Up to 8 players*** can enjoy Party Mode—all on a single system! Take on individual challenges or run through a series of moments in themed Challenge packs. With an automatic rewind feature to undo mistakes, even completely new players can compete.
• Challenge yourself - Make your way through challenges at your own pace to set personal bests. Compete with yourself to see how fast you can go!
