Players can compete against others online, locally, or against their personal bests. The game does not provide information about any prior competitions or their results, but you can watch replays of the top runs for each challenge to learn from the pros.
Moreover, the competition is available in both the World Championships and Survival modes. More than 150 challenging moments from 13 NESTM games are up for grabs. However, please note that NES games are not included in their entirety.
