Universal Hollywood has just announced the launch of its brand new park, Super Nintendo World which opens on the 17th of February 2023. It will be an innovative and immersive themed park and will mark the debut of Super Nintendo in the United States.

The first Super Nintendo World opened in Universal Studios Japan in 2021. Another two will be due to open in Universal Studio’s Singapore and the new Universal’s Epic Universe, Orlando.

What will be in Super Nintendo World?

It will contain many thrilling and interactive activities for the entire family to join in on. It will feature a “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” ride. This is an augmented reality game inspired by the namesake racing video game as well as “Bowser’s Castle” along with engaging real-life gameplay.

Some of this gameplay includes punching blocks to collect digital coins. It also includes interactive binoculars that employ augmented reality technology to experience the land. Once the four key challenges are beat and keys are collected, guests are allowed access to the boss battle against Bowser Jr.

The moment we enter and disappear through the green pipe, we emerge in Super Nintendo World, a world of exploration, and begin a journey of discovery and play. The journey will start at Peach’s Castle before they venture into the Mushroom Kingdom. Guests would be able to experience a 360-degree world of Mario, Luigi & Princess Peach. On top of the rides and activities, there will be themed dining at “Toadstool Cafe” and shopping at the “1-Up Factory” retail store.
