=== ''BS Super Mario USA Power Challenge'' === In March–April 1996, Nintendo's partnership with the [[St.GIGA]] satellite radio station released an ''[[wikt:裏|ura]]'' or ''[[gaiden]]'' version of the game for the [[Satellaview]] system, titled {{nihongo foot|''BS Super Mario USA Power Challenge''|BSスーパーマリオUSA パワーチャレンジ|Bī Essu Sūpā Mario USA Pawā Charenji|group=lower-alpha}}. Like all Satellaview games, it was released episodically in a number of weekly volumes,<ref name=kameb>{{cite web|url = http://www.f3.dion.ne.jp/~kameb/satella/st_prg/st_prg.htm|script-title = ja:スーパーファミコンアワー番組表|publisher = The Satellaview History Museum|language = ja|date = February 12, 2008|last = Kameb|access-date = March 29, 2009|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120401183851/http://www.f3.dion.ne.jp/~kameb/satella/st_prg/st_prg.htm|archive-date = April 1, 2012|df = mdy-all}}</ref> only in Japan, and only in this format.<ref name=kameb /> It features 16-bit audiovisual enhancements to the 8-bit original in the fashion of ''Super Mario All-Stars'', plus "[[Satellaview#SoundLink|SoundLink]]" narration ([[radio drama]]-style streaming voice data intended to guide players through the game and give helpful hints and advice) and broadcast CD-quality music. Due to the nature of SoundLink broadcasts, these games were only broadcast to players between 6:00 and 7:00 PM on broadcast dates, at which times players could download the game from the Events Plaza on the [[BS-X|''BS-X'' application cartridge]].<ref name=kameb /> A single rerun of the broadcasts was conducted in the same weekly format from June 3, 1996, to June 29, 1996, at 5:00 to 6:00 PM. The ''BS-X'' download location for the rerun changed to Bagupotamia Temple.<ref name=kameb /> While the underlying gameplay itself is largely similar, new and arranged content has been added. For instance, the BS version newly featured a score counter. Furthermore, at the beginning of the game, Mario is the only playable character. Later in the game, time-dependent events occur triggering, among other things, the possibility of using other characters. Another feature unique to the game is the inclusion of gold Mario statues (ten in total for each chapter) that are hidden in various locations (including Sub-Space). Collection of the statues in-game grants the player an extra life and refills the life meter. After clearing a level, the player could press "Select" to see some statistics such as the number of statues, coins, cherries, and mushrooms collected, as well as displaying which bosses had been defeated. As a 4-volume broadcast, each week bore a different subtitle. These are the names of the volumes: * {{nihongo foot|"I, Super Birdo"|「あたしたち、スーパーキャサリンズ」|"Atashitachi, Sūpā Kyasarinzu"|group=lower-alpha}}<ref name=pasofami>{{cite web|url = http://www.geocities.jp/pasofami77/game/SMC_list.xls|script-title = ja:スーパーファミコン タイトル|publisher = Famicom House|first = N.|language = ja|last = Andou|access-date = March 10, 2008|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120127235105/http://www.geocities.jp/pasofami77/game/SMC_list.xls|archive-date = January 27, 2012|df = mdy-all}}</ref> * {{nihongo foot|"Tryclyde's Secret Quicksand Surprise"|「ガブチョもびっくり流砂の秘密」|"Gabucho Mobikkuri Ryūsa no Himitsu"|group=lower-alpha}}<ref name=pasofami /> * {{nihongo foot|"Fryguy on Pack Ice"|「氷の海でヒーボーボー」|Kōri no Umi de Hībōbō|group=lower-alpha}}<ref name=pasofami /> * {{nihongo foot|"Wart's Trap, Look Out Mario Brothers"|「マムーの罠,危うしマリオブラザーズ」|Mamū no Wana, Abunaushi Mario Burazāzu|group=lower-alpha}}<ref name=pasofami />
