The entrance to Super Nintendo World is a large Warp Pipe leading to the foyer of Peach's Castle, which features the sun design on the floor and the cloud pattern on the ceiling, as well as paintings of Bob-omb Battlefield and Tiny-Huge Island from Super Mario 64. 5.4 Universal Studios Japan application.Super Nintendo World temporarily closed on April 25, 2021, due to a surge in Japanese COVID-19 cases, only one month after the initial opening. The song " We Are Born to Play", performed by Galantis and Charli XCX, was released as a music video to promote Super Nintendo World, which depicts numerous attendees exploring a CGI-animated version of the area with many Mario characters and enemies present. The area's background music also consists of arrangements of various songs from the Mario franchise. Animatronics of various Mario characters and enemies are also present, including Yoshi and a Thwomp. In regards to decorative features, many Mario objects can be seen throughout the area (some of which move, such as coins and Cloud Lifts), though much of the environmental aesthetic is based on that of Super Mario 3D World, including the colored, diamond-patterned platforms, Piranha Creeper vine, pyramids from World 2, and most prominently the grassy platforms, which make up a tall, mountain-like structure replicating Mount Beanpole, with a Goal Pole on the summit. Peach's Castle, Bowser's Castle, and a red Toad House are also present.

Six different designs of the Power-Up Band have been shown so far, all based on emblems of Mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi. The Power-Up Band also connects to the Super Nintendo World section of the official Universal Studios Japan smartphone application found on the App Store and Google Play Store, which contains a map of the area and its key locations, and allows the user to view their rankings and add, remove, and edit bands. If the map leaked is accurate, the Nintendo Land area will be located immediately after the studio’s main gate, putting it front and center, well, left really, of the entire park.While visiting the area, attendees can wear a magnetic wristband known as a "Power-Up Band" (originally unhyphenated), which allows them to interact with various features in the area, compete with other attendees, and keep track of scores and items (such as coins and stamps) earned from such activities. It is obviously a grab for more ticket sales, as that year will see droves of tourists from all over the world. The theme park is scheduled to open in 2020, right around the time Japan will host the Olympics. Media claim it will be a “Mario Area”, which wouldn’t be a bad choice for a more universally known character. If so, Universal and Nintendo better take extra care to wisely choose which one. That is definitely an ambitious goal, though it is unknown whether that means the area will focus on a single Nintendo property only. The Wizarding World land has achieved world-renown, especially with the Forbidden Journey ride. No further details have been leaked yet, other than it might be another Harry Potter land in terms of scale. That’s no small amount definitely, which is all the more reason for Nintendo not to directly finance the project, considering how much financial trouble it already has. According to sources, Universal will be footing the bill, to the tune of 400 billion yen, roughly $352 million. It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise, however, that Universal would choose Nintendo’s own homeland, considering it would most likely profit more from fans there than anywhere else.įor Nintendo faithful who might be a bit worried that this would unduly tax and distract the gaming company, fret not. Last year, Nintendo granted Universal the rights to some of its properties to be used in theme parks, so it was really only a matter of “when” and “where”, not “if”.
