In 1991, Nintendo toured US colleges with the Nintendo Campus Challenge, featuring mini-games of Super Mario Bros. 3, Dr. Mario and the unrelated Pin Bot. After the tournament, all cartridges were destroyed save one. This was kept by a Nintendo employee and sold to US collector Rob Walters at a 2006 garage sale. In 2009, the game was resold on eBay for $20,100 (£12,350). It set the record for rarest Super Mario game.
