\tThe Mushroom Kingdom has finally hit Los Angeles, as Universal Studios Hollywood prepares to welcome visitors to Super Nintendo World, opening Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

\n

\tuniversal took variety <\/em>through the warp pipe for a sneak peek at the Mario land, featuring a restaurant, souvenir shop, meet-and-greet characters, interactive games and a signature ride: \u201cMario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhen parkgoers arrive at Super Nintendo World, located next to the \u201cTransformers\u201d ride, they’ll enter through a giant green warp pipe that leads inside Peach’s Castle. Just outside the castle doors is a 360-degree, fully immersive Mushroom Kingdom, complete with POW blocks, Pokeys and power-ups. There’s nods to the different biomes present in a typical \u201cMario\u201d game, as well as the franchise’s colorful array of villains, from Thwomps to Goombas. There’s small details for avid Nintendo gamers, too, like \u201cSuper Mario Sunshine\u201d music playing in a seating area beneath giant mushrooms, or a distinct Yoshi animation style in the queue for \u201cBowser’s Challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe world has four interactive games that lead up to a boss fight against Bowser Jr. In one game, the player must hit a POW block, causing a spinning Koopa shell to fly up a warp pipe at the right time. In another, they must disable a bunch of alarms before they go off, waking a snoozing Piranha Plant.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn the boss battle, the player’s silhouette will be projected on an LED screen as they try to dodge Bob-ombs and throw fireballs. If you win, you’ll reclaim a golden mushroom that Bowser Jr. stole from Princess Peach.<\/p>\n

\tBy purchasing a Power-Up Band, visitors can sync up to the Universal Studios Hollywood app and keep track of points earned at the park, which can be transferred onto Nintendo gaming consoles via Amiibo. Points can be earned by playing the games, riding \u201cBowser’s Challenge\u201d and tapping the Power-Up Band on various markers hidden around Nintendo World.<\/p>\n

\tWhile waiting in line for \u201cBowser’s Challenge,\u201d visitors will walk through Bowser’s Castle, decorated with a giant Bowser statue, trophies and books with cheeky titles like \u201cThe Art of Balloon Battle\u201d and \u201cBowser on Bowser.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhen riding \u201cBowser’s Challenge\u201d (which, unlike some rides at Universal, does actually move on a track), guests will be immersed into the world of \u201cMario Kart\u201d with augmented reality goggles. Steering through cloudtop and underwater courses, riders will compete on Team Mario to beat Bowser and win the Golden Cup.<\/p>\n
