Contest #2 is currently underway in the Nintendo World Championships, featuring the NES edition
The second competition of the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition has kicked off on Nintendo Switch Online, offering players a chance to test their speedrunning skills against others around the world. This event, which runs until July 29 at 1:59 a.m. PT, features five challenging moments from 13 classic NES games.
Participants can take on Power Grab from Metroid, Loose Change in Super Mario Bros., Death Mountain Duel from The Legend of Zelda, Barrel Roll in Donkey Kong, and Overcome the Underworld in Kid Icarus. These challenges are available in both World Championships and Survival modes, providing ample opportunities to compete.
Watching the replays of the top runs from last week's competition might offer insights to improve participants' own times. Replays for each challenge are available for viewing, offering a glimpse of the skills required to excel.
Internet access is necessary for online features, and a Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account are required. Additional accessories may be needed for multiplayer mode, which can be played locally with friends.
After the competition, participants can check their overall placement and compare with others in their birth year. This added feature provides a personal touch to the competitive experience.
Remember, Nintendo Switch Online memberships auto-renew after the initial term unless cancelled. So, dust off your NES controllers and get ready to compete!
For complete and detailed rules for Competition #2, I recommend checking the official Nintendo website, the in-game instructions, or official Nintendo event materials or videos. These resources often explain each competition’s rules and formats in depth.
Good luck, speedrunners! May the best player win.
