Universal Orlando Resort has been making waves with its forthcoming Universal Epic Universe theme park, promising an array of fantastical worlds and thrilling attractions. Among the previously announced highlights like Celestial Park and How to Train A Dragon, the excitement reaches new heights with the addition of Super Nintendo World. Developed in collaboration with Nintendo, this vibrant land offers an immersive experience that merges iconic Nintendo characters with Universal’s renowned craft of creating innovative theme park adventures, promising families a fun-filled journey through iconic gaming realms.
Super Nintendo World stands out as one of the five imaginative worlds within Universal Epic Universe, and Universal Orlando has just unveiled official details that promise an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. As parkgoers step into Super Nintendo World, they’ll be transported through the iconic green pipe, immersing them into a realm brimming with vibrant scenery and kinetic energy straight from their Nintendo game consoles.
Inside Super Nintendo World, visitors can delve into two distinct realms: Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country. In Super Mario Land, the colorful landscapes of the Mushroom Kingdom come to life, offering thrilling attractions such as Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge. This groundbreaking ride combines augmented reality and elaborate environments to deliver a compelling Mario Kart experience where guests join Team Mario in a race against Team Bowser for the Golden Cup.
Other highlights in Super Mario Land include Yoshi’s Adventure, a family-friendly ride offering breathtaking views of Mushroom Kingdom landscapes, and Toadstool Cafe, where guests can savor delicious dishes inspired by the Super Mario universe.
Visitors can also explore retail locations like 1-UP Factory and Mario Motors for souvenirs and merchandise while enjoying meet and greets with beloved characters like Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.
Adjacent to Super Mario Land lies Donkey Kong Country, where guests can embark on thrilling adventures through the lush, tropical landscape from the video game series. Mine-Cart Madness stands as a standout attraction, offering a first-of-its-kind family coaster experience where riders help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong protect the coveted golden banana.
To level up the fun, guests can purchase Power-Up Bands, wearable wristbands that unlock interactive experiences throughout Super Nintendo World. From collecting digital coins to unlocking exclusive showdowns against Bowser Jr., these bands offer endless opportunities for fun and exploration. Guests can also access Leaderboard screens to see how they rank among fellow adventurers.
Universal Orlando is going all in on this new theme park and we’re excited about all of the new rides we can experience when it opens. Super Nintendo World is a must-visit destination if your family are fans. With its blend of iconic Nintendo characters and innovative theme park technology, Universal Epic Universe is set to redefine the theme park experience.
