Next year, Universal Orlando Resort will take fans on a whole new adventure with the opening of Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe. This immersive land, created in partnership with Nintendo and Universal Creative, brings beloved video game characters and worlds to life in a way that’s never been seen before.
Get ready to feel like you’ve stepped into your favorite game as you explore two iconic areas: Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country. Complete with thrilling attractions, themed dining, interactive experiences, and character meet-and-greets, this is where your favorite Nintendo moments come to life.
Enter the Iconic Green Pipe
Your journey starts the moment you step through the iconic green pipe and into Super Nintendo World. The Mushroom Kingdom stretches out before you, with landmarks like Mt. Beanpole, Peach’s Castle, and plenty of familiar characters from the Super Mario franchise.
Super Mario Land
In Super Mario Land, you’ll feel like you’re right inside the game. Take on Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, a high-speed attraction where you team up with Mario to race against Bowser and his crew. Using augmented reality and cutting-edge technology, it’s a wild race full of coins, shells, and obstacles.
For something more laid-back, hop aboard Yoshi’s Adventure for a scenic tour of the Mushroom Kingdom. Ride alongside Yoshi, meet familiar characters, and search for glowing eggs on this family-friendly journey.
When you’re ready for a bite, Toadstool Cafe serves up Mario-themed dishes like Super Mushroom Soup and Fire Flower Spaghetti and Meatballs. Don’t forget to grab some snacks at Yoshi’s Snack Island or Turbo Boost Treats.
If shopping’s more your style, pick up souvenirs at 1-UP Factory or Mario Motors. You can even meet Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad around the land.
Donkey Kong Country
Just beyond Super Mario Land, enter the lush jungle of Donkey Kong Country. The highlight here is Mine-Cart Madness, a family coaster that mimics Donkey Kong’s iconic mine-cart rides. You’ll feel like you’re jumping gaps and blasting out of barrels as you race to protect the golden banana.
The area is also packed with tropical-themed dining and merchandise inspired by the Donkey Kong Country games.
Power-Up Bands: Level Up Your Adventure
With a Power-Up Band, you can take your experience to the next level by collecting digital coins, earning stamps, and unlocking hidden surprises. Sync it to your Universal app to track your progress and compete on leaderboards.
