I had no idea this was rare, but the demo station used at this event back in 1994. Cost over $300,000 simply because only 33 units were made. Yet, 32 were shipped back to Nintendo for parts. Meaning, only ONE still exist!

I, had that chance to play this special demo cart! I was 13 years old at the time, my Dad drove me down to South Massachusetts area.

I remember winning a hat and a poster from this event that was held at a Wal-Mart. The poster was a 3D Poster of Samus Aaron from Super Metroid. The Hat just said "Powerfest 94"

The demo cart, you played 1 level of Super Mario All-Stars, 2 laps of Super Mario Kart, and Home Run Derby in Ken Griffey Jr's Baseball.

The Mario level, was from "The Lost Levels".

I'm amazed that I had the chance to actually play this thing and finally someone remembered! :)
