Universal Orlando Resort Lifts the Lid on Its Super Nintendo World

Finally, a bigger land than the one at Universal Studios Hollywood, which only has room for the Mario Kart ride and a few experiences—Epic Universe will contain the full deal, just like the version in Japan.

According to a release from Universal Orlando resorts, “It all begins the moment guests enter the portal to Super Nintendo World, which will transport them through the iconic green pipe into the immersive land. As guests emerge from the pipe, vibrant scenery and exciting kinetic energy surround them as they are greeted by the familiar sights and sounds that they’ve experienced on their Nintendo game consoles—from the towering Mt. Beanpole and majestic Peach’s Castle to swaying Piranha Plants, pacing Goombas, spinning coins, ? Blocks, and more. Guests will be able to explore Super Mario Land—where they’ll enjoy adventures alongside Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and other characters; and Donkey Kong Country—where they’ll encounter thrills featuring Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and other members of the Kong family.”
