Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan (USJ)

Welcome to Universal Studios Japan-a place where your favorite characters and worlds come to life! Here, you can explore different lands filled with amazing rides, meet characters you love, and even step right into the games you play! One of the most exciting areas here is Super Nintendo World. If you love Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, and all the other awesome Nintendo characters, get ready to jump into an adventure!
Step Into the World of Mario
In Super Nintendo World, you’re not just a visitor; you’re part of the game! Imagine entering a world that looks exactly like a level from Super Mario. Bright, colorful blocks are everywhere, Goombas and Koopa Troopas roam, and you’ll see that classic green warp pipe right at the entrance! Even the music makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a Mario game.
The Entrance: Warp Pipe Adventure!
To start your journey, you’ll walk through a huge green warp pipe. As you enter, you’ll hear the familiar sounds of Mario’s world, and suddenly, you’re in Princess Peach’s Castle! It’s like a dream come true. The castle looks just like it does in the games, with pretty walls, paintings, and even Toads running around.
Power-Up Band: Become a Hero!
One of the coolest parts about Super Nintendo World is the Power-Up Band. You can wear this band on your wrist and use it to play real-life Mario games! With the Power-Up Band, you can collect coins, punch question mark blocks, and complete challenges all around the park. It’s like being a real-life Mario! As you complete challenges, you collect coins, stamps, and points, and see your score go up on the USJ app. Compete with friends and family to see who can get the highest score!
Must-See Attractions
Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge
Are you ready to race? Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge is one of the most popular rides here. You’ll wear a special AR headset that lets you see characters, shells, and other surprises from the game right in front of you! The ride takes you through exciting race tracks, just like in the Mario Kart game, where you can throw items like shells to beat Bowser and his team. You’ll feel like you’re zooming through the Mushroom Kingdom!
Yoshi’s Adventure
For a calmer, fun ride, hop on Yoshi’s Adventure! This ride is perfect for kids who want to explore and discover secrets. You’ll sit on the back of a big, friendly Yoshi and go on a journey around the park, seeing hidden areas, Toads, and a beautiful view of Super Nintendo World from above. Keep an eye out for Captain Toad and help him find the Golden Egg!
Fun Games and Challenges
Super Nintendo World isn’t just about rides-there are also fun games and challenges that make you feel like a hero! Around the park, you’ll find interactive blocks and mini-games that let you collect coins and stamps. Here are some of the coolest games:
Goomba Crazy Crank: Spin a wheel as fast as you can to knock down a Goomba and earn coins.
Koopa Troopa POW Block Punch: Hit the POW Block at just the right time to knock a Koopa Troopa out and grab the key.
Piranha Plant Nap Mishap: Try to keep the Piranha Plant asleep by being super quiet. If you succeed, you’ll earn a key!
Collect three keys from these mini-games, and you’ll get a chance to battle Bowser Jr. in a final boss fight! Use teamwork, dodge fireballs, and work together to defeat him and save the day.
Meet Your Favorite Characters
What’s a visit to Super Nintendo World without meeting Mario and Luigi themselves? You can meet Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach, take pictures, and even get their autographs. They’re super friendly and love seeing all their fans! Don’t forget to say, “Hi, Mario!” when you see him.
Cool Souvenirs to Remember the Fun
Before you leave, don’t forget to grab some souvenirs! There’s a shop called 1-Up Factory where you can buy plushies of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and more! You can even get hats that look like Mario and Luigi’s famous red and green caps. These make perfect mementos to remember your adventure.

10 days so it wouldn’t be too rushed. But as with all vacations, I felt it was too short
