NES Remix is a Nintendo crossover series featuring snippets of gameplay from various first-party Nintendo Entertainment System games in the form of brief playable challenges. Among these are several Mario games, including its predecessors Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr..
Because of their short length and quick objective, challenges within the NES Remix series have been comparable to microgames from the WarioWare series, especially 9-Volt's and 18-Volt's, as their microgames often feature scenarios from classic Nintendo games.
The series features two main installments, NES Remix and NES Remix 2, both of which only had a standalone digital release via the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U, in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The NES Remix series also has two compilations, NES Remix Pack and Ultimate NES Remix, both released on a physical medium in 2014 for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS respectively. NES Remix Pack is a proper compilation of both NES Remix and NES Remix 2 whereas Ultimate NES Remix features only some challenges from NES Remix and NES Remix 2.
