Universal Studios Japan's Super Nintendo World area officially opened in March 2021. The park initially planned to open the area at the end of July 2020, in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but delayed opening to prevent crowding, as a response to COVID-19. According to NHK, the park has invested more than 6 billion yen (about 56 million USD) in the new area to increase the number of visitors to a record level. Construction began in 2017.
The first phase of the Super Nintendo World zone has opened with two games titled “Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge” and “Yoshi's Adventure”. Visitors to the attractions are given Magnetic Power-ups that allow visitors to interact with the attractions, such as touching the”? Block” in real life. The wristbands can track scores (including park-wide leaderboards), coins, and stars from various games, and they can interact with the “game console.”
The effort is part of a larger Nintendo-themed initiative that Universal is adding to its theme parks.
Universal Studios' Epic Universe theme park in Orlando is expected to open in early 2025. The new park was originally scheduled to open in 2023 before construction was delayed due to COVID-19.
