Great care was taken to figure out each level curve of each character, in order to keep you from using the same character over and over again, to mix it up and switch people out, and hopefully invoke some different feelings as well. \u0026nbsp;One such instance was having to use a character that you don't like, only to have them die making you feel guilty.

They would play Super Mario Bros until they got 50 coins, then one custom level of Rad Racer, and then they would play Tetris as long as possible within a time limit. \u0026nbsp;The points would then be mulitiplied giving you your score. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis was how it was added up:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n(Super Mario Bros. score) + (Rad Racer score x 10) + (Tetris score x 25) = final score.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe actual strategies employed were actually pretty brilliant. \u0026nbsp;The idea was that moving faster would get you a better score. \u0026nbsp;As I stated before, points were not determined by secrets. Many contestants simply ran around gathering coins but beat up enemies to get more points. \u0026nbsp;The most common tactic was using the warp pipe to gather coins and moving to the next level. \u0026nbsp;However dying proved to be a faster method, as you keep your coins and lose nothing by dying. \u0026nbsp;After all, you had 99 lives in Mario, and a full timer in Rad Racer. \u0026nbsp;You really couldn't die permanently in those two. \u0026nbsp;You could in the last game however, in Tetris, by stacking lines to the very top, ending your session and waiting for the timer to run out. \u0026nbsp;Thor Aackerlund is still one of the high score winners by gathering the coins, then dying, and gathering them again, scoring over 4,000,000 points!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe winners would receive a gold or grey cartridge of the game they just played along with fabulous other prizes like a 10,000 dollar savings bond (most of the contestants were under 18 mind you) new 1990 Geo Metro Convertible(and yet), a 40\" rear-projection TV, and a gold painted Mario trophy(real gold might have posed a problem but would have been really cool to see Indiana Jones style). \u0026nbsp;the Second place got a silver Mario trophy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe don't care about any of that however. \u0026nbsp;We care about the 116 carts made for the competition. \u0026nbsp;90 gray, 26 gold. \u0026nbsp;Each one has a unique number making it easy to track and to authenticate it. \u0026nbsp;It had the games and the format from the competition, only you can adjust the DIP switches to change up how you want to play the game as well.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nA collector owns it and makes reproductions for others to try the game out on their own. \u0026nbsp;The cost for the original game is astronomical. \u0026nbsp;Grey copies are more readily available and still sell from as little as 5000, to more than 8000. \u0026nbsp;A gold has sold for no less than 15,000. \u0026nbsp;Crazy thing is, NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN LOCATED. \u0026nbsp;Take the story of an eBay bidder who's son died in the military. \u0026nbsp;They were just selling the games and took two big pictures.
