Universal Florida's Super Nintendo World park gets May 2025 opening date

Super Nintendo World – Universal’s Mushroom Kingdom-inspired theme park land – will fling open its pink Peach Castle doors in Orlando, Florida on 22nd May next year.

This third iteration of Super Nintendo World, which follows versions opened at Universal Studios Japan in 2021 and at Universal Studios Hollywood last year, arrives as part of Universal’s new 110-acre, multi-billion-dollar Epic Universe theme park.

Super Nintendo World is one of five themed areas at the new park, which visitors can explore alongside Celestial Park, Dark Universe, How to Train Your Dragon’s Isle of Berk, and Harry Potter’s Ministry of Magic. And if you’ve seen Super Nintendo World’s previous iterations, you’ll pretty much know what to expect here.

Super Nintendo World Orlando features the same AR-based Mario Kart ride seen in Japan and Hollywood, alongside the more sedate (if occasionally infernal) Yoshi’s Adventure dark ride, which didn’t make the cut at Universal’s smaller California park.

Additionally, the Orlando park includes a second, Donkey-Kong-themed area, along with its ambitious Mine-Cart Madness rollercoaster – both of which are set to open in Japan later this year following a lengthy delay. Visitors can also expect the same wrist-band-based interaction system seen at other parks, and the usual assortment of shops and restaurants.
