I won Blockbusters Donkey Kong tournament for the SNES when I was 6. Got a champions card that gave me one free video game rental every other week for a year. I won at two stores and my brother won in 3 stores in his age bracket. So we constantly had free new games to play. That was the best year ever.
Maybe fun fact: Dr. Disrepect's "Two Time Champion" claim is from these blockbuster tournaments.
Just a handful of my lesser known favorites. All different genres.
RŌHKI - VERMILLION 2024
Arden Jones - parachute 2024
Natalie Walker - Mars 2012
Trevor Something - Enjoy The Silence 2014
Labyrinth Ear - Snow White 2011
