Universal Orlando Resort has recently unveiled exciting details about the addition of Super Nintendo World to its theme park lineup. This expansion, set to open next summer at Epic Universe, promises to offer guests a unique and interactive experience like never before. The themed world will consist of two main areas: Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country, each offering its own set of attractions and activities.
One of the key features of Super Nintendo World is its incorporation of a gaming aspect into the physical theme park experience. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase wearable Power-Up Bands that allow them to interact with the environment around them through various interactive activities. From punching Question Blocks to earning digital coins, stamps, and keys, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Super Mario and Donkey Kong in a whole new way.
Upon entering Super Nintendo World, guests will be greeted with a portal leading directly into Super Mario Land. Here, visitors will find two major attractions: Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge and Yoshi’s Adventure. Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge brings the popular video game series to life through augmented reality, projection mapping, and real set pieces, offering riders the chance to join Team Mario in an epic battle against Team Bowser for the Golden Cup. Meanwhile, Yoshi’s Adventure provides a more relaxed experience as guests accompany the lovable dinosaur-like character on a journey through Mushroom Kingdom in search of glowing eggs.
The other main area of Super Nintendo World, Donkey Kong Country, introduces guests to a tropical landscape filled with trees, waterfalls, and iconic landmarks like the Golden Temple. This section features the centerpiece attraction, Mine-Cart Madness, a family coaster that takes riders on an exciting jungle adventure alongside Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The innovative ride system and unique coaster design aim to replicate the thrilling maneuvers seen in the Donkey Kong video games, promising an exhilarating experience for visitors of all ages.
Hungry guests can look forward to indulging in Nintendo-themed food and beverages at various dining locations within Super Nintendo World, such as Toadstool Café, Yoshi’s Snack Island, and Turbo Boost Treats. Additionally, the 1-UP Factory and Mario Motors will offer a range of souvenirs, toys, and apparel for fans to take home as a memento of their visit. Meet-and-greets with beloved characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad will also be held throughout Super Mario Land, adding to the overall immersive experience of the theme park.
The addition of Super Nintendo World to the Epic Universe theme park lineup is an exciting development that promises to transport guests into the vibrant and beloved world of Nintendo. With innovative attractions, interactive gaming elements, and themed dining and shopping options, this expansion is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages.
