10-Question Nintendo Quiz

Discord mods, Twitch streamers, pub trivia hosts, and anyone building a game night around a Switch: this one's for you. The template ships with ten scored questions on Nintendo characters, consoles, and company history, rated Medium difficulty with a run time of about six minutes. It's free to use, so you can have it live before the party starts.

Trivia hosts and Nintendo lifers

Gaming communities use it as a warm-up round before tournaments and watch parties. Streamers run it live and let chat argue over the answers. Teachers and youth group leaders lean on it as a low-stakes icebreaker for a room full of players who grew up on different console generations. And party hosts slot it between rounds at a birthday or retro game night, where the built-in leaderboard settles who really knows their Mario lore.

Jumpman, Epona, and a playing card company from 1889

The ten questions mix three formats: standard multiple choice, true or false, and select-all-that-apply. Openers like "What was Mario's original name?" catch casual fans off guard (it's Jumpman, from the 1981 Donkey Kong arcade cabinet), while deeper cuts ask what business Nintendo started as in 1889 and whether Kirby was really named after the lawyer who defended Nintendo in court. Zelda fans get a question about Link's horse in Ocarina of Time, and Pokemon players have to remember who sits at #001 in the Pokedex.

Every question is worth 10 points, for a clean 100-point maximum, and each answer comes with a short explanation so takers learn the real story behind the trivia. There's no timer by default, which keeps the pressure off, and the leaderboard is switched on so scores stack up publicly. All of it is editable: swap in questions about your own community's favorite series, change point values, or trim the set for a faster round.
