Contest #34 is currently underway in the Nintendo World Championships, featuring the classic NES edition
The latest competition in the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition series is now open to Nintendo Switch Online members. This special event, available within the Nintendo Switch Online service's NES library, allows players to compete for high scores across a collection of classic NES games or specific challenges modeled after the original 1990 Nintendo World Championships cartridge.
Unlike previous competitions, this event does not provide any prior context or information about past competitions. The competition features challenges in both World Championships and Survival modes. However, the exact rules for Competition #34 are not readily available in the search results.
To participate, players must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and a Nintendo Account for online features. The competition score is a sum or combined ranking based on performance in several NES games. Players can attempt the challenge on the Switch Online’s NES app and submit their scores within a fixed time window. Results and rankings will be posted on official Nintendo platforms once the competition concludes.
Replays of the top runs for each challenge will be available for viewing, providing insights to improve personal times. The challenges include Door to Door (Super Mario Bros. 2), Hammer Bro KO (Super Mario Bros. 3), Axe to Grind (Super Mario Bros.), Walloping Whispy Woods (Kirby's Adventure), and Darknut Dustup (The Legend of Zelda).
It's important to note that the game does not include NES games in their entirety. Additional accessories may be required for multiplayer mode (sold separately). Internet access is required for online features, and membership auto-renews after the initial term unless canceled.
The competition will run from now until 3/10 at 12:59 a.m. PT. Participants can check their overall placement and birth year ranking after the competition.
