You have heard about Super Nintendo World if you are a Nintendo fan. This amusement park has been open in Japan for a while but recently opened in Hollywood, California, USA.
If you are dying to go but are still trying to figure out everything you need to know before planning your trip to Universal, here at LEVEL UP, we leave you some tips on everything you need to know to plan your trip correctly.
WHERE IS SUPER NINTENDO WORLD?
Super Nintendo World is within Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.
SHOULD I BUY A TICKET JUST TO ATTEND SUPER NINTENDO WORLD?
As Nintendo World is an area that is located inside Universal Studios, the entrance you buy is to Universal in general, where you will find not only the Nintendo area but also the world inspired by Harry Potter, The Simpsons, Jurassic Park, and much more. With the general admission ticket, you can access any area for free.
BUT BE CAREFUL; WITH NINTENDO WORLD, IT CAN BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT…
The difference here is that the Nintendo area is minimal, and also, being a novelty, the space fills up very quickly, so Universal resorted to virtual lines. So you will only be able to arrive with a reservation to want to enter like in any other place.
This is what you have to do:
1. Download the Universal Studios app
2. Go to Universal Studios as early as they open
3. Click on "Virtual Line" in the app
4. Choose "Virtual Line Venues"
5. Choose Super Nintendo World
6. Choose an available time to enter
To enter the virtual line, you must do it from the same day early once the park opens; respect your entry time to Nintendo World; you will not be able to access it even a minute before your registration. Once inside the area, you can stay as long as you want.
ABOUT THE MARIO KART CHALLENGE
Is booking the Mario Kart Challenge attraction in the Universal app possible? Unfortunately, no, the only thing you will find in the app regarding the attraction is the estimated waiting time, which is usually two hours. However, taking the single ride is a great tip to shorten the waiting time from 5 to 10 minutes.
Yes, you will likely not be able to try the attraction with your friends or family, but if you have limited time, it is the best option and is just as enjoyable.
DO I HAVE TO RESERVE TO EAT AT THE NINTENDO RESTAURANT?
Yes, but not from the app. Here comes something very complicated: you can only reserve to eat there once inside the Nintendo area. This means that, for example, if you enter the Super Nintendo World at 8 am, you reserve to eat at the restaurant, and they give you entry until 6 pm; you won't be able to leave Super Nintendo World until that time if you don't want to lose your reservation. You will be denied entry if you go out and want to come back in just for your restaurant reservation.
IS THE POWER BAND WORTH IT?
The power band is part of the Super Nintendo World experience; it is priced a little high at $40, and what it will do is you can interact with the bracelet in different places within the area. Collect points and have your statistics in the same Universal Studios app.
It is unnecessary to buy it, however, since the Nintendo space is tiny and only has a single attraction; if you do not have the bracelet, there will be little to do inside.
