We have to admit, we’ve seen some pretty zany stuff in the Nintendo realm this month, but this one probably takes top honors. For the fanboys and girls, the words “PowerFest ‘94″ and “Nintendo World Championships II” immediately incite fits of giddiness, and for those sulking in the uninformed camp, here’s the skinny: just 32 of these brutally ugly and oversized cartridges were ever manufactured, and after the round of tournaments played with them in 1994, all but one was reportedly “given back to Nintendo and reused for parts.” The cart itself housed Level 1-1 of Super Mario Lost Levels, five laps around the first track on Super Mario Kart, and a home run derby from Ken Griffey Jr. Winning Run, all of which were set to a timer and channeled out to other systems to monitor the scores of everyone involved. Needless to say, owning this prized possession could indeed fetch a pretty penny, and if you’ve ever wondered just how much a one of a kind SNES cart would run you, we’ll give you 25,000 or so guesses. Click on through for a few more snapshots.
