* PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: The cartridge as a whole is somewhat famous for this: despite its status as one of the rarest and most expensive games of all time, there's really very little value to it as an actual game. All three of the involved games are pretty common, and can be picked up for a song in any retro-gaming outlet or one of the many {{Compliation Rerelease}}s they've gotten over the years. Pretty much the only somewhat unique trait to the game is the ScoringPoints and timer aspects; other than that, it's strictly useful for its historical value.

* CrackIsCheaper: Oh, what's that? You want one? Assuming you can find someone willing to part with one of the grey cartridges, expect to pay in excess of $10,000. Oh, you're after one of the rarer and more sought-after ''gold'' carts? Yeah, good luck with that. If one ever appears on the market, be prepared to remortgage your house in order to pay for it. Subverted with [=RetroUSB=]'s reproduction cartridges.

* ScoringPoints
* TimedMission: 6 minutes and 21 seconds in the official competition. [[note]]Technically 6:15, but time doesn't start until the Super Mario Bros title screen appears, which takes about 6 seconds.[[/note]] The cartridge dip switch settings allow you to change the time allotted, from 5 minutes to 9 minutes and 42 seconds.

Added DiffLines:

* GoldenSnitch: The ''Tetris'' section is worth the most of any of the three sections. ''Super Mario Bros.'' imposes a x1 multiplier, ''Rad Racer'' uses x10, but ''Tetris'' provides '''x25''', on top of lasting until the time runs out. Therefore basic strategy is to complete the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Rad Racer'' sections in order to maximize the amount of remaining time for ''Tetris''.
