Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Would Be Terrific If Not For This One Colossal Flaw
Briefly

In many ways, it feels like it's designed precisely for NES sickos like me, folks who have an enduring fondness not just for well-regarded classics like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. but also for the rougher, more frustrating first-party games on Nintendo's first console.
Nintendo Championships is essentially a slew of challenges that have you playing moments from classic NES games and trying to achieve a given goal as quickly as possible. These range from really short and simple to much more challenging.
It starts out by having you do the simplest things gives you a feel for how important every little movement can be. You learn from experience that valuable milliseconds can be gained or lost in something as basic as the angle of a jump.
In this regard, it feels like a real gateway to the joys of speedrunning.
