Take a closer look at UniStudios fully immersive Super Nintendo World.
To say that I’m not a gamer would be an understatement. However, I did spend countless hours of my youth playing Nintendo games, and specifically Super Mario Bros. and a variety of other Mario Bros. games, so I’ve been excited ever since the announcement that there would be a Super Nintendo World coming to one of my local theme parks, Universal Studios Hollywood.
While not exactly the same as the land in Japan, the main thing that the lands do have in common is just how interactive it all is. Inside of Princess Peach’s castle, you’ll learn that everything starts with a story. According to Jon Corfino, vice president of Universal Creative, who gave us our tour, “Princess Peach has a golden mushroom that’s been stolen by Bowser Jr., and one of our missions is to help her get it back,” and that narrative will play into some of the games around the land.
When guests are interacting with the elements, they’ll discover that some blocks you can only punch once, while others can be punched multiple times, adding up points on your Power-Up Band along the way. Additionally, there are several areas in the land, called 8-Bits, which are lit elements that magically appear, and you’ll get points for them when you discover them.
After learning about how to put on and adjust the visor the AR goggles will snap onto, along with how to play the game and throw the shells that you’ll use to wrack up points, guests will board four to a car. You’ll steer and throw as you move along a track, aiming wherever your eyes are looking.
