Super Nintendo World Officially Opens at Universal Studios Hollywood

Super Nintendo World is finally open at Universal Studios Hollywood! Universal and Nintendo have brought Mushroom Kingdom to life in a highly immersive way for the first time in the United States. Super Nintendo World originated at Universal Studios Japan and will be coming to Epic Universe in Orlando.

Super Nintendo World is home to the flagship attraction Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge –  a ride utilizing augmented reality to take you into the world of the popular Mario Kart video game series. The ride is situated around Mount Beanpole and Bowser’s Castle. Beyond the ride, you’ll find ways to play using your Power-Up Bands, available for $40 plus tax, dining at Toadstool Cafe, and merchandise from the 1-UP Factory.

Super Nintendo Land may require reservations at busier points to have access to the land. Virtual Line reservations can be made in the Universal Studios Hollywood app after buying your park ticket and arriving on-site. If reservations are needed, and you bought Universal Express or a VIP Tour, you’ll have access to the land once daily without a reservation.

If you’re an early riser, you can add a Super Nintendo World Early Access Ticket to your park admission. This add-on allows early admission to the land one hour prior to the scheduled park opening and one-time express access to the Studio Tour prior to 11:00 am. The ticket is either $20 or $25 depending on your use date and is something to seriously consider if the land is important to you.
