Universal Studios Japan is getting one of the most exciting concepts to be introduced at a theme park in some time: SUPER MARIO! ‘Super Nintendo World’ has been talked about for some time but today Nintendo and Universal Studio officials confirmed at a groundbreaking ceremony in Japan today with hopes the attraction will be open in time of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Now are we going to get our own Super Nintendo World at one of the Amercian Universal Studios in Orlando or Hollywood? USA Today reported along with today’s announcement that the both Nintendo and Universal are working on plans for a US version of the Mario themed fun but when they will open has not been confirmed. Video game vlogger BitBlock while expressing some Mario fan freakout over the teaser trailer, analysed that DisneyWorld in Orlando is rolling some very big attractions with Star Wars so this is Universal meeting demand for fresh concepts.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the new park was held today in Japan, which was beyond weird and playful. Universal Studio executives and ‘Super Mario’ creator Shigeru Miyamoto were very serious while wearing silly over sized red Mario hats and cartoony white puffy gloves. Plus a giant Mario mascot running along with delightfully campy set with a rolling poster that played out like real-life version of 8bit classic levels.
The biggest attraction that makes 90’s kids mouths collectively salivate is that the park will feature Mario Kart Experience. Something the executives called a “key part” of the park’s adventure for guests.
