This lets you pre-load the game, so you'll be able to play as soon as the game is released.
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!
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!
There are more than 150 challenges to choose from across multiple difficulty levels. 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. You can grow the skills you need to take on tougher challenges as you go!
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.
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!
Complete challenges to earn in-game coins. Use them to unlock even more challenges to take on!
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.
Aim for the top of your living-room podium with modes you can play with friends*** and on your own.
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.
Make your way through challenges at your own pace to set personal bests. Compete with yourself to see how fast you can go!
