Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated new theme park, Epic Universe, officially opens on May 22, and one of its most exciting lands is Super Nintendo World. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Mario or just discovering the magic of the Mushroom Kingdom, this immersive land is an absolute must-see, and we recommend visiting during both the day and night for the full experience.
Step Into the Game
The moment you walk through the iconic green warp pipe, you’re transported into the colorful world of Super Mario. Towering above you is Peach’s Castle, with Mount Beanpole and Bowser’s Fortress looming in the distance. From interactive games to vibrant scenery and dynamic characters, Super Nintendo World fully immerses you in the universe you’ve only seen on screens until now.
Play with a Purpose
Guests can purchase a Power-Up Band ($45) that unlocks interactive mini-games throughout the land. Collect digital coins, complete challenges, and even battle bosses as you explore. It’s a new kind of theme park adventure, one where you’re not just a visitor, you’re a player.
Ride Highlights
Two standout attractions anchor the land:
-
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge – This augmented reality ride takes you into the middle of a chaotic, fast-paced Mario Kart race through lava, ice, and rainbow tracks.
-
Mine-Cart Madness (coming soon) – A Donkey Kong-themed coaster through the Jungle Kingdom is on the horizon, adding even more excitement to the land.
Day vs. Night
During the day, the land bursts with vivid color and nonstop action. But at night, Super Nintendo World transforms into a neon dreamscape. Glowing coins, twinkling blocks, and light-up character features make it feel like a completely different world.
Super Nintendo World is one of five immersive lands at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest theme park opening May 22. Whether you’re a gamer, thrill-seeker, or just along for the ride, this land offers a one-of-a-kind experience you’ll never forget.
