UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD: SUPER NINTENDO WORLD OPENS FEBRUARY 17th

Just two months ahead of Illumination’s animated movie, Universal Hollywood will open the pipes to its newest themed land. Super Mario World will open into a newly expanded area of the park on Friday, Feb 17, 2023. (Japan has had its own version for a while now.) The land’s primary attraction? A Mario Kart ride that combines a track-based system with augmented virtual reality. But that’s not all. Using the new power bands available for purchase, guests will be able to interact with various elements inside the park. Activate lights, sounds, and motion to collect virtual keys and enter a boss battle. Character meet and greets will include Mario, Luigi, Peach, and of course Toad, who appears daily at the Toadstool Cafe.
