Universal Studios Japan has finally lifted the embargo on Super Nintendo World, and to celebrate, we get to see two of its attractions – Yoshi’s Adventure and Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challegen – up close. If you hate spoilers or are planning to head there yourself in the near future, these videos should probably be skipped. It’s not yet open to the public, but Universal Park News Today managed to get access as a press outlet. Read more for two videos and additional information.
Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge has guests walk into Bowser’s Castle, and once in the queue, you’re greeted with countless game-themed items. This isn’t a normal attraction though, as each guest is given a pair of Mario hat-shaped AR goggles to wear during the ride as you’re introduced to the racers from Team Koopa and Team Mario. Since augmented reality objects cannot be shown properly on video, just know that all of the familiar characters and power-ups are there.
