History YMMV / NESRemix

* ScrappyMechanic: The Golden Stars/Rainbow Stars, which are the games' way of handling FakeLongevity (and are part of its FakeDifficulty due to the arbitrary required times). They are the only way to grade your performance and can be obtained by clearing the stage fast enough. The only thing that matters is just how fast you clear the stage and can be frustrating if one doesn't know what to do, or if one one knows what to do and did everything well...just not fast enough, even if it's just 0,1 milliseconds more than the arbitrary required time.

** It also resembles the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' series, a series of similar microgames, some which are based on NES games.

** The last stage in Golf, where you have to make a Hole-in-One.

* GameBreaker: On many ''NES Remix'' speedrun challenges depending if you have the patience, you can [[PauseScumming repeatedly pause the game over and over]] to keep the challenge clock from decreasing as normal which can lead to unusually fast times. Nintendo is aware of this glitch, but whether if they patch it remains to be seen.

* EightPointEight: [[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/19/nes-remix-review-please-rewind/ Joystiq's]] ''1 and a half star'' review, for ''NES Remix'' which overall had a fairly okay reception among other reviewers.

* HilariousInHindsight: One of the minigames is a variant of Donkey Kong staring Link, made more difficult due to his inability to jump at will...until ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' came out and gave Link the ability to jump for the first time in a long while.
* OlderThanTheyThink: A MinigameGame featuring preset challenges? [[Series/NickArcade Where have we seen that before?]]

** From ''NES Remix'', Bonus Stage 10, which is a version of World 5-2 from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' where Mario is always running and all you have control over is his jump. It's widely regarded to be the hardest challenge in the entire game.

** In the first ''NES Remix'', the stage where you have to get through the first stage of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI Link]]... ''who can't jump'', making the level an especially irritating LuckBasedMission.

** From the same game, Bonus Stage 10, which is a version of World 5-2 from Super Mario Bros. where Mario is always running and all you have control over is his jump. It's widely regarded to be the hardest challenge in the entire game. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) it is not included in Ultimate NES Remix.

** ''NES Remix'':
*** The stage where you have to get through the first stage of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI Link]]... ''who can't jump'', making the level an especially irritating LuckBasedMission.
*** Another turns the already irritating [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 World 4-1]] into a SlippySlideyIceWorld. Good luck avoiding Piranha Plants and the Lakitu's eggs when you're slipping all over the place.[[note]]Unless you just LeeroyJenkins the whole thing as with the World 2-3 remix, in which case the level turns into a cakewalk.[[/note]]

* AmericansHateTingle: Metroid is conspicuous by its absence. It cannot be stressed enough that the love that American players have for the Metroid games is not mirrored in their Japanese counterparts.
