Super Mario Bros./Tetris/Nintendo World Cup
Super Mario Bros./Tetris/Nintendo World Cup is a compilation cartridge published by Nintendo for the NES, released in 1990, and it combines three classic and highly popular games into a single cart, offering incredible variety and value for players. The cartridge includes "Super Mario Bros.," the legendary platformer, "Tetris," the iconic puzzle game developed by Alexey Pajitnov, and "Nintendo World Cup," a fast-paced, arcade-style soccer game. In "Super Mario Bros.," you play as Mario, traveling through the Mushroom Kingdom, jumping on enemies, collecting power-ups, and saving the princess. In "Tetris," you must rotate and arrange falling blocks to complete horizontal lines, with the goal of keeping the screen from filling up, featuring a simple but addictive puzzle mechanic. In "Nintendo World Cup," you control a soccer team, playing a fast-paced, exaggerated version of soccer with power kicks and special moves, competing in a tournament to win the World Cup. A unique feature is the "diversity" – this cartridge provides three completely different genres in one package, offering platforming, puzzle-solving, and sports action, making it a versatile and valuable addition to any NES library. The graphics and music are the same as the individual games, with "Super Mario Bros." featuring Koji Kondo's iconic score, "Tetris" with its famous Russian folk theme, and "Nintendo World Cup" with upbeat, energetic sports music. Critics praised the variety and value of the compilation, making it a popular choice for players. It supports one player in Super Mario Bros., one player in Tetris, and up to two players in Nintendo World Cup. Super Mario Bros./Tetris/Nintendo World Cup is a fantastic compilation that showcases the diversity of the NES library.
