Super Nintendo World, which officially opened in February, was a highly anticipated new addition to Universal Studios Hollywood.

The land’s main attraction, “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge,” lets visitors enjoy a real-life game of Mario Kart. Riders will compete on Team Mario to defeat Bowser and his companions in an epic race across multiple fan-favorite tracks.

Riders will be able to collect coins and throw items throughout the race. The ride uses augmented reality technology and actual set pieces to imitate a race car driving along the track.

The immersive gaming-inspired attraction is the first Super Nintendo World to debut in the United States.

Universal Studios Japan was the first theme park to have a Super Nintendo World, which debuted in 2021.

Universal Studios Orlando is expected to have its own Super Nintendo World, which will be a part of the new Epic Universe area in 2025, theme park blogs have reported.
