The theme park will host an immersive Nintendo’s world with characters and adventures inspired from Nintendo fans’ favourite games, such as Mario Kart and Yoshi-themed rides and attractions, along with retail, restaurants and other attractions. 

Visitors to the park will be given a Power-Up band which allows them to try virtual reality experiences, such as punch blocks and collect virtual coins as they would in video games. The theme park features a Bowser’s Castle, which houses the world’s first Mario Kart theme park ride. Guests will also experience the world’s first interactive ride with the Mario Kart theme park ride. 

The Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge ride will see visitors racing in the Mario Kart universe and throwing shells to take out opponents. Meanwhile, Yoshi Adventure ride offers a treasure hunt with a view of the Mushroom Kingdom. 

The Super Nintendo world theme park is scheduled to open to the public on February 4.
