Super Mario Power-Up Summer was an event taking place in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka as part of the theme park's "NO LIMIT! Summer" event.[1] It took place in the New York area of the park three times a day between July 5 and August 24, 2023, lasting for about 15 minutes.[1][2] It was a Super Mario-themed version of the park's yearly summer event,[2] which mainly consists in participants getting sprayed with water.
Details[edit]
The event's stage was located in the Gramercy Park square; it was decorated with a backdrop themed after the background in the ground levels of New Super Mario Bros. Wii and a rainbow with ? Blocks, a Super Mushroom, a Fire Flower, and a Super Star.
Before the start of the event, participants were divided into four teams themed after Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad, with instructors teaching every team to dance. The flags on four Goal Poles behind the stage were used to indicate the excitement of each team. The first flag that reached the top of the pole determined the winning team.[3]
Afterwards, the event started with the four characters appearing on stage and every team had to follow the movements of their respective character to get more excited. After they left, the teams were encouraged to dance to get more excited while water started to be sprayed from Warp Pipes on the stage and water shooters. During this, the teams used their water shooters to hit their team's emblem on banners to color them.[3]
However, this was interrupted by Bowser Jr., who appeared on stage with a group of dancers wielding big inflated balls with his emblem; the teams had to unite into one and dance in order to stop Bowser Jr. After an attempt from the dancers to repel him, Mario and the others reappeared on stage to help, with some of the dancers swapping their water shooters for F.L.U.D.D.-like ones, after which Bowser Jr. left. After a final dance, the event ended.[3]
The event featured many new arrangements of themes from the Super Mario franchise, all of which were arranged exclusively for the event. Some of the themes include the Ground Theme which is used multiple times, "Inside the Castle Walls" from Super Mario 64 when Princess Peach introduces herself, and "Overture" from Super Mario Galaxy towards the end of the event when Mario and friends return to the stage to help defeat Bowser Jr.
