While it does seem possible for guests to explore this real-life Mushroom Kingdom without purchasing of a Power Up Band, the symbiotic relationship between physical and virtual activities spread throughout the park suggests the device is a key component to fully enjoying everything Super Nintendo World has to offer. Universal has not revealed how much the devices will cost. However, guests hoping to take advantage of Super Nintendo World’s unique interactive features should include the cost of a Power Up Band (sold at the park) in their vacation budget. How much will it cost to get in?Īdmission to Super Nintendo World is included in the cost of Universal Studio Japan tickets, called Studio Passes, which are sold as either one-day or two-day tickets and start at ¥7800 (about $75) for adults and ¥5400 ($45) for children ages four through 11. Dining facilities and gift shops will round out the attraction. Leaked concept art for Super Nintendo Land suggests the ride will be located inside a replica of Bowser’s Castle and could feature augmented reality goggles to enhance the ride experience.Ī kid-friendly Yoshi-themed ride was also unveiled, which is in the format of a treasure hunt where riders find eggs.

Other details still unclear, but considering Nintendo and Universal’s commitment to translating popular in-game attractions from the Super Mario franchise into real-world features, the possibility of being able to launch red shells and banana peels at opponents while racing along the Rainbow Road doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

An augmented-reality headset will provide a visual experience that feels like you're competing in a race.

A new trailer has dropped for the ride, which will be named Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge, with sneak peeks at the loading platform, the four-rider vehicle, and a large statue of Bowser.
