Super Nintendo World
- Not to be confused with Nintendo Land.
Super Nintendo World (officially capitalized as SUPER NINTENDO WORLD) is a themed area available in spaces operated by Universal Destinations & Experiences, featuring attractions, products, and themes mainly based on the Super Mario franchise. The area opened in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka on March 18, 2021,[1] and in Universal Studios Hollywood on February 17, 2023,[2] with further openings announced for Universal's Epic Universe at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Singapore.[3] The slogan of Super Nintendo World Japan is "#We Are Mario!! アソビの本能、解き放て！ (Asobi no honnō, tokihanate!, Release your play instinct!)"
While visiting the area, attendees can wear a magnetic wristband known as a "Power-Up Band" (originally unhyphenated),[4] which allows them to interact with various features in the area, compete with other attendees, and keep track of scores and items (such as coins and stamps) earned from such activities.[5][4] The Power-Up Band also connects to the Super Nintendo World section of the official Universal Studios smartphone applications found on the App Store and Google Play Store, which contain a map of the area and its key locations, and allows the user to view their rankings and add, remove, and edit bands. There are six different designs of the Power-Up Band, all based on emblems of Super Mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi. A golden Power-Up Band has also been created in limited quantities for the second anniversary of Universal Studios Japan's version of the park.[6] Power-Up Bands can also be used as amiibo.
Of the Super Mario-themed elements present in Super Nintendo World, it features a Mario Kart-themed attraction titled Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge[7] and, in Japan, a Yoshi-themed attraction titled Yoshi's Adventure.[8] Peach's Castle, Bowser's Castle, and a red Toad House are also present. In regards to decorative features, many Super Mario objects can be seen throughout the area (some of which move, such as coins and Cloud Lifts),[9] though much of the environmental aesthetic is based on that of Super Mario 3D World, including the colored diamond-patterned platforms, Piranha Creeper vine, pyramids from World 2, and most prominently the grassy platforms, which make up a tall mountain-like structure replicating Mount Beanpole,[10] with a Goal Pole on the summit. Animatronics of various Super Mario characters and enemies are also present, including Yoshi and a Thwomp.[9] The area's background music also consists of arrangements of various songs from the Super Mario franchise.
The song "We Are Born to Play," performed by Galantis and Charli XCX, was released as a music video to promote the initial launch of Super Nintendo World, which depicts numerous attendees exploring a CGI-animated version of the area with many Super Mario characters and enemies present.
Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan temporarily closed on April 25, 2021, due to a surge in Japanese COVID-19 cases, only one month after the initial opening.[11] It was later reopened on June 1, 2021.[12]
Locations
Entrance
The entrance to Super Nintendo World is a large Warp Pipe leading to the foyer of Peach's Castle, which features the sun design on the floor and the cloud pattern on the ceiling, as well as paintings of Bob-omb Battlefield and Tiny-Huge Island from Super Mario 64. An open doorway leads to the main theme park area. In Universal Studios Japan, if attendees view the paintings from the doorway, the Bob-omb and the Big Goomba morph into Bowser Jr. holding his Magic Paintbrush and Peach's Golden Mushroom in his Junior Clown Car. In Universal Studios Hollywood, the paintings change into a scene showing Peach, the Golden Mushroom on a pedestal, and Bowser Jr. in the background, and a scene showing Bowser Jr. stealing the mushroom in his Junior Clown Car.[13] "Inside the Castle Walls" can be heard in the background while inside the castle.[10]
Mount Beanpole
In the main area of Super Nintendo World, a large land formation referencing Mount Beanpole from Super Mario 3D World can be seen. On Mount Beanpole, a variety of enemies and characters are found, including Yoshi, Thwomps, Koopa Troopas, Goombas, a Goomba Tower, and a Bill Blaster. Also on Mount Beanpole, trees, fruit, Cloud Lifts, Coins, a Warp Pipe, and a variety of blocks are found. In Universal Studios Japan, the entrance and queue area for Yoshi's Adventure is located below Mount Beanpole. On top of Mount Beanpole stands a Goal Pole, bearing a red flag with Mario's emblem.
Attractions
Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge
Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge,[2] known as Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge in Japan and simply referred to as Mario Kart in the Universal Studios Japan app,[14] is an on-rails ride based on the Mario Kart series where attendees race through a course designed by Bowser. It is located inside Bowser's Castle, with attendees joining Team Mario (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi) against Team Bowser (Bowser and the Koopalings). Attendees are seated in vehicles designed after the Standard Karts from Mario Kart 8, with a steering wheel included with each seat. The ride makes use of augmented reality, as attendees are equipped with AR headsets with Mario Caps for the duration of the ride.[10] Attendees travel through different environments modelled after several courses from Mario Kart 8; starting with an area that combines Bowser's Castle and Mario Circuit, followed by 3DS Piranha Plant Slide, Dolphin Shoals, Twisted Mansion, Cloudtop Cruise, Grumble Volcano with the Bowser Monument, and N64 Rainbow Road.[15] The ride lasts for approximately five minutes, and each kart can hold up to four people (two rows of two seats).[16] Riders primarily score by firing shells, color coded to each of the four riders, at other racers and other interactable objects as displayed through their headsets, with the final scores tallied and displayed at the conclusion of the ride.[17]
The foyer of Bowser's Castle features stairs leading up to a large Bowser Statue, while the hall leading to the ride itself features displays of the original eight cups from Mario Kart 8. There is also a large display of the Golden Cup,[18] which is designed after the Universal logo, as well as Bowser's challenge letter that reads:[10][19]
- English
Hey MARIO! I challenge you to a RACE! Come to my castle! and DON'T CHICKEN OUT! GWAHAHA
- Japanese
よく聞け、マリオ！わがはいの城に来い！カートでしょうぶだ！待っているぞ、逃げるなよ！ガーッハッハッハ
Yoku kike, Mario! Wagahai no shiro ni koi! Kāto de shōbu da! Matteiru zo, nigeru na yo! Gāhhahhahha
Listen up, Mario! Come to my castle! It's a kart contest! I'll be waiting; don't run away! Gahahaha
The queue winds through two storage rooms adorned with various Mario Kart-themed banners and signs, a Mario Kart TV broadcasting room, Bowser's library, a boiler room that serves as a Bob-omb and Mechakoopa factory where attendees are given their AR headsets, and two Mario Kart TV briefing rooms where Lakitu provides a tutorial for the attraction's interactive elements.[20] The Universal Studios Hollywood version of the ride's queue begins with an underground and a ground section based on the Yoshi franchise before entering Bowser's Castle.[19]
Music that plays in the rooms prior to the actual attraction includes the castle theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii at the stairs, the castle theme from Super Mario World[20] and "A Boss Approaches" from Super Mario 3D World in the trophy hall, Neo Bowser City's theme from Mario Kart 7 in the storage rooms, "Waltz of the Boos" from Super Mario Galaxy in Bowser's library, Mario Kart TV's theme from Mario Kart 8 in the first briefing room, an arrangement of Electrodrome's theme from Mario Kart 8 in the second briefing room, an arrangement of Bowser's Castle's theme from Mario Kart Wii in the area after the briefing rooms,[21] and an arrangement of the main menu theme from Mario Kart Wii in the loading area. In the attraction itself, the raceway theme from Mario Kart 64, arrangements of Piranha Plant Slide's theme from Mario Kart 7, Bowser's Castle's, Dolphin Shoals', Twisted Mansion's and Cloudtop Cruise's themes from Mario Kart 8, and Rainbow Road's theme from Mario Kart 64 play in their respective areas, while Mario Kart Stadium's theme from Mario Kart 8 plays at the finish line. The Super Star theme from Mario Kart Wii also briefly plays during the transition to the Rainbow Road segment.[15]
The Universal Studios Hollywood version occupies the space formerly occupied by Stages 22, 23, and 28.[22]

Yoshi's Adventure
Yoshi's Adventure (only featured at Universal Studios Japan and Epic Universe[19]) is a ride where attendees travel in Yoshi-like vehicles to search for Captain Toad and three "mysterious eggs" using a map.[8] The entrance is a large, yellow Warp Pipe located at the center of Super Nintendo World.[14] The ride lasts for approximately five minutes, and each vehicle can hold up to two people.[23]
The ride first transports attendees over a bridge, then into a Warp Pipe tunnel through a scene with two Yoshis carrying Baby Mario and Baby Peach being pursued by Kamek and some Fly Guys, with Poochy nodding his head at passing vehicles at the exit. Additionally, another branching path within the pipe tunnel has a view out into space looking at Starship Mario. Exiting the pipe, the Yoshis arrive in a desert and jungle area, and finally to Captain Toad's location at the end of the jungle. The ride's queuing area features designs and murals from Yoshi's New Island,[24] which would be incorporated into the first section of the Universal Studios Hollywood queue for Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge.[19]
Music that plays in the attraction includes the main level theme from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in the queuing area, the main theme from Yoshi's Story at the bridge, the opening theme from Yoshi's Island in the tunnel, the desert theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the desert area, and "Captain Toad Goes Forth" from Super Mario 3D World in the jungle area.[24]

Power-Up Band Key Challenges
The Power-Up Band Key Challenges are activities found throughout Super Nintendo World that attendees play using the Power-Up Bands to collect keys to help Princess Peach retrieve the Golden Mushroom from Bowser Jr.[8] After collecting three of the five keys, attendees can participate in a boss battle with Bowser Jr. in Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown.[10][8] The attraction's queue passes through a corridor with a Bowser Jr. statue and several paintings of him. Attendees then reach a room containing Bowser Jr.'s Toy Chest and a block resembling a Baddie Box with Bowser Jr.'s emblem, known as a Bowser Jr. Block,[25] near his Junior Clown Car, the Magic Paintbrush, a Poison Mushroom, and many more objects. During the attraction, attendees' shadows are projected on a screen and they must swat Parabombs at shadow clones of Bowser Jr. in Junior Clown Cars. Bill Blasters which shoot Bullet Bills also appear during the attraction. Attendees can obtain power-ups such as Super Mushrooms and Super Stars from Flying ? Blocks. During a part of the attraction, attendees need to use Fire Flowers to defeat Koopa Paratroopas and Fire Piranha Plants. After defeating Bowser Jr., attendees jump to reach a Goal Pole and their score is shown. A letter written by Peach is displayed when exiting the attraction that reads:[26]
My Brave Friends
You were spectacular! Thank you for helping us find the Golden Mushroom. We could not have done it without you.
Peach
Each key is guarded by one of Bowser Jr.'s minions. Attendees hold their Power-Up Band in front of a key reader to start a challenge, and again after they have successfully completed the challenge to claim the key. The challenges include:
- Goomba Crazy Crank:[8] The key for this challenge is guarded by a Goomba who sits on top of a rolling hill. Guests need to turn the crank fast enough to knock the Goomba off the hill and retrieve the key.[27]
- Koopa Troopa POWer Punch:[8] The key for this challenge is guarded by a Koopa Troopa. The challenge involves timing the chain-reaction impact of a series of Red POW Blocks to launch a moving Green Shell at a POW Block with the key on top to collect it. The shell moves left to right while passing through an upside-down T-shaped pipe, and the attendee must physically hit a Red POW Block at the right time so the shell passes over the last Red POW Block when it is activated and launches towards the key.[10]
- Piranha Plant Nap Mishap:[8] The key for this challenge is guarded by a red Piranha Creeper.[10] Guests have to turn off all the ringing alarm clocks to prevent the Piranha Creeper from waking up.[27]
- Bob-omb Kaboom Room:[8] The key for this challenge is guarded by a Bob-omb. It is located only at Universal Studios Japan at the end of the underground maze, after attendees walk through a passageway that gives them the illusion of being shrunk down. As a result of this, the Bob-omb appears giant. The Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. plays inside the maze.[10] The challenge involves guests assembling pieces of a key and putting them together on a touch screen before the Bob-omb explodes.[27]
- Thwomp Panel Panic:[8] The key for this challenge is guarded by a Thwomp. Guests have to turn every Flipswitch Panel on the touch screens from blue to yellow before the Thwomp slams down. Touching one switch can affect others close-by.[27]
One key can also be obtained by spotting an airship using the binoculars in the park.[27]

Characters
Characters from the Super Mario franchise are abundant throughout Super Nintendo World. Most of them are animatronics, while others can be found in meet-and-greet areas. The latter kind of characters are mascots of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad; the latter is present at Universal Studios Hollywood since July 15, 2023.[8][41] Attendees can choose to have photo opportunities with the Mario Bros. and Peach in Mario & Luigi Photo Opportunity (Japanese: マリオ＆ルイージ・フォト・オポチュニティ, Mario ando Ruīji Foto Opochuniti) and Princess Peach Photo Opportunity (Japanese: プリンセスピーチ・フォト・オポチュニティ, Purinsesu Pīchi Foto Opochuniti) respectively.[42][43] Unlike the mascots commonly used for the Mario Bros., Super Nintendo World's Mario and Luigi's costumes have articulated faces, allowing them to move their eyes and mouths.[10] With the exception of Toad, the mascots have nearby voice samples playing, and the costumes animate and lip-sync with them.[44][8]
Mascots of Yoshi and Bowser Jr. also appear, but are currently unmeetable. Yoshi debuted in the NO-LIMIT!!! Parade in February 2023, while Bowser Jr. debuted in the Super Mario Power Up stage show in July 2023.

Japan
On March 1, 2023, the NO LIMIT! Parade was introduced, which includes an unit based on the Mario Kart series. During the park's 2023 "NO LIMIT! Summer" event, a special stage show titled Super Mario Power-Up Summer was showcased within the park's "New York" area.
Development
A partnership between Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts to open a Nintendo theme park area in Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Orlando was first announced on November 29, 2016.[3] On December 12, 2016, Super Nintendo World was officially announced by name, scheduled to open first in Japan in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[45]
On June 8, 2017, construction on the first Super Nintendo World began when Universal Studios Japan held a groundbreaking ceremony, which was attended by Shigeru Miyamoto, Universal Studios Japan CEO J. L. Bonnier, and Universal Creative president Mark Woodbury.[46] A Mario Kart-themed attraction was announced in the ceremony,[47] while a teaser trailer for Super Nintendo World was released the same day.[48] That same year, Universal Studios Hollywood demolished Stages 22-25 to make room for its version of the area (another soundstage whose footprint the area occupies, the Phantom Stage, had been demolished three years prior).[22]
On April 3, 2019, Super Nintendo World was announced for Universal Studios Singapore by Resorts World Sentosa.[49]
During an interview with Universal Parks & Resorts CEO Tom Williams held on September 12, 2019, Williams announced that Super Nintendo World in Japan would open in Spring 2020, and that the Mario Kart ride and a Yoshi ride would be featured in the first phase. Williams also revealed information about a magnetic wristband that attendees would wear and would be used to track scores gained through rides and interactions in the area.[50]
On January 14, 2020, Universal Studios Japan held a "global kick-off presentation event" where many details regarding Super Nintendo World were announced, including the opening now being scheduled for Summer 2020, more details on the function of the wristband (now named the "Power Up Band"), the wristband designs, and the smartphone application.[5][4] The music video for "We Are Born to Play" was also released the same day.
During a Q4 earnings conference held on January 23, 2020, Comcast executives confirmed that Super Nintendo World in Universal Orlando would be part of the upcoming Epic Universe theme park scheduled to open in 2023.[51] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was delayed indefinitely.[52] Also as a result of the pandemic, the opening date for Super Nintendo World in Japan was pushed back by a few months.[53]
On October 7, 2020, Super Nintendo World in Japan was announced to open in Spring 2021.[54] In addition, a Mario Café & Store was revealed and announced to open outside of the area on October 16, 2020, ahead of its opening.[55] The exact opening date of February 4 was later announced on November 30, 2020.[56]
On December 18, 2020, Nintendo released the Super Nintendo World Direct. Hosted by Miyamoto, the video toured various parts of the park, including the entrance based off of Peach's Castle, an underground area with Bob-ombs, and Bowser's Castle, as well as 1-UP Factory and Kinopio's Cafe and the merchandise and food offered. It also showed how Power-Up Bands are used to interact with activities in the park.[10]
On January 14, 2021, the opening was postponed to an unspecified later date as a result of a state of emergency in place in Osaka due to COVID-19.[57] On March 8, 2021, the final opening date was revealed to be March 18, 2021.[1]
On September 28, 2021, Nintendo announced that a new Donkey Kong-themed area would be added to the Universal Studios Japan version of the area, expanding the size of Super Nintendo World by approximately 70%. The area, named Donkey Kong Country[58] (Japanese: ドンキーコング・カントリー),[59] is set to open in spring 2024.[60] The expansion will feature new Donkey Kong-themed attractions including Mine Cart Madness[61] (Japanese: ドンキーコングのクレイジー・トロッコ),[62] merchandise, and Power-Up Band designs based on Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.[63]
