Super Nintendo World makes this a reality.
blocks, piranha plants, giant toadstools, and even a Mario Kart ride.
We warped into#SuperNintendoWorldearly and explored every inch!
And Super Nintendo World was no different.
Instead of working with filmmakers, though, Universal collaborated directly with Nintendo in bringing this world to life.
Take a look below.
What does that mean?
Throughout the land, there are a series of four different minigames built into your surroundings.
This is far different than everything we’ve seen from theme parks thus far.
It’s nowhere near the level of what’s happening in Super Nintendo World, though.
What’s more, this Mario-filled land has a level of replayability that makes it worth coming back to.
There’s a hard mode
The first time through, the minigames aren’t all that difficult.
They’re all physical, but relatively easy.
However, if you beat them, prepare for a challenge.
All of the games–save for the sleeping Piranha plant–come equipped with a hard mode.
For instance, there is a touchscreen game where you tap various ?
blocks displayed to change them from yellow to blue.
Yes, the Power-Up bands are pretty important
How do you get good without keeping track of your score?
You earn keys for beating games, coins for punching ?
And if that’s not enough, the bands also act as Amiibos for your Nintendo Switch.
With them, you’re able to, for instance, unlock special costumes in Mario Kart.
With Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, a whole new kind of ride debuts.
It’s a tight fit
Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to ride.
What’s interesting about the food is the amount of thought put into including mushrooms in various dishes.
And for dessert, don’t sleep on the Mt.
There are hidden spaces, characters, and items strewn throughout the land.
However, also keep an eye out for Pikmin scattered around the land.
Now that it’s open to the world, that’s no longer the case.
So while it’s a smaller area, you’ll wind up spending plenty of time there in line.
So long as you properly prepare yourself to wait (bring a Switch) you should be fine.
Super Nintendo World is open now at Universal Studios Hollywood.
