Even though the Super Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios Japan was supposed to open earlier this year, work is still continuing even during the pandemic and the theme park is expected to open very soon. Check out the video below for a glimpse of what you can expect from the rides and layout of the park thanks to the above video, taken by The Mainichi last month. The Super Nintendo World theme park is now due to open its doors during the Spring months of 2021.
Immersive Experience
The Super Nintendo World theme park promises an immersive experience that transports visitors into the vibrant and whimsical world of Nintendo. A photo published by The Sankei News last month shows that things are pretty much finished, at least externally. Guests enter the park through the area in the bottom left of the photo (Peach’s castle, visible more clearly in another photo), and will find themselves standing in a space that takes in some of the most iconic Mario locations imaginable, from Toad Houses to general platforming stages to an ice level.
There are coin blocks everywhere—for a reason—and the rear of the park is dominated by the Mario Kart ride, and an enormous rendering of Bowser’s Castle, complete with N64-style polygonal styling. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every corner of the park designed to evoke the nostalgia and excitement of Nintendo’s beloved games.
Attractions and Rides
One of the main attractions is the Mario Kart ride, which is expected to be a major highlight. This ride will allow visitors to experience the thrill of racing through iconic Mario Kart tracks, complete with power-ups and obstacles. The ride is designed to be interactive, with guests able to collect coins and items as they race.
Another exciting feature is the Yoshi’s Adventure ride, which takes visitors on a gentle journey through the Mushroom Kingdom on the back of Yoshi. This ride is perfect for families and younger visitors, offering a more relaxed but equally enchanting experience.
In addition to the rides, the park will also feature interactive elements such as the Power-Up Band, a wearable device that allows guests to collect virtual coins and interact with various elements throughout the park. This adds an extra layer of engagement, making the experience even more immersive and fun.
The park will also feature themed dining and shopping experiences, allowing visitors to enjoy a meal at Toad’s Cafe or purchase exclusive Nintendo merchandise. The food offerings are expected to be as whimsical as the park itself, with dishes inspired by the games, such as mushroom-shaped snacks and star-shaped desserts.
The opening of Super Nintendo World is highly anticipated, not just by fans in Japan but by Nintendo enthusiasts worldwide. The park is expected to be a major draw for tourists, offering a unique and unforgettable experience that brings the magic of Nintendo to life.
