The Title Screen.

Players like in the Nintendo World Championships had to complete 3 tasks. The following tasks on the following games are shown below:

Also, again, just like the Nintendo World Championships, the player's scores are multiplied and then added together to get the total. After completing Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, the score is multiplied by 1. However, in Super Mario Kart, there is an exception. The player can get extra points depending on what place they finish, and coins are worth 1,000 points. After finishing Ken Griffey Jr. Home Run Derby, the score is multiplied by 1,000,000, and all scores are added up together to get the final score. <br=all>
