The pandemic brought the STOP to the world and for Universal Studios and Nintendo, meant that the opening of the Amusement Park based mostly on the Super Mario Bros. universe called Super Nintendo World needed to be delayed for a long term.

But that will end in 2023 as Super Nintendo World will officially open on February 17, 2023, the park has announced.

Of course, a promo on what visitors should expect was included in the announcement and you can buy Power-Up Bands to play interactive games around the park and track their scores via the Universal Studios app. 

Also, there is an augmented reality Mario Kart ride set within Bowser’s Castle, a Toadstool Café and a 1-Up Factory merchandise store.

Unfortunately, it was confirmed that one attraction missing in comparison with the Japanese equivalent is the Yoshi’s Adventure ride as some people expected an exact equivalency and next parks are expected to be in Singapore and Florida, marking the second United State location for Super Nintendo World.
