The Pikmin cameo
Another of the prides of the creator of Mario is the Pikmin series, one of the most underrated exclusive Nintendo IPs. But while the franchise isn’t popular enough to have its own park, Miyamoto hasn’t missed the opportunity to include them in the project.
One of the secrets of Super Nintendo World is that you will be able to find small Pikmin throughout the entire park, although they are so tiny that you will have to be very attentive to detect them. You will find them in all areas of the park doing all kinds of activities, whether it is walking or raising a coin.
A look secret to Stella in Super Nintendo World
Because the theme of the park is the Mushroom Kingdom, it would be hard to see other popular characters from the series that inhabit other worlds, including Princess Estela.
However, the creators found an ingenious way to add it to the park in a place secret of Super Nintendo World. To do this you will have to find the area of the green binocular with augmented reality technology. Through them you will only see a star, but the surprise comes when you zoom in on it, as it will allow you to see Estela flying in the distant galaxy.
Miyamoto’s signature
Of course, it could not be a list of secrets of Super Nintendo World if we don’t include one focused on the creator of the series.
In a specific Bowser box, in the lower right corner, attendees can find a very animated signature. If you pay attention you will notice that it says S.Miyamotosigned by the renowned developer of Nintendo.
This easter egg will be appreciated mainly by fans of the games. The best thing is how the idea of including a part of Miyamoto in the park. This was what Tom Geraghty explainedthe chief technology officer of Universal Creative:
We’re walking through Bowser’s castle in Japan, and there’s a large portrait of Bowser that he’s had himself mounted (because he has a healthy sense of self) at the end of the hallway. And it’s not signed because it’s just a portrait or a prop or whatever. And we said, ‘Miyamoto-san, that painting doesn’t have an artist’s signature.’ So we handed him a Sharpie and he signed it right then and there. Then we went back and covered it with a clear coat.
A visit to the mind of Bowser
After seeing the secret From above, it’s clear that Bowser is a very self-centered creature. What you may not have known is that he is also an intellectual, and in fact he has an entire library in the Super Nintendo World
The question now is: What kind of books would someone like Bowser read? Well, as expected, nothing good. On his bookshelf you can find books on the art of breathing fire, how to raise “destructive” children, and even a guide to sibling rivalries and how to exploit them.
In one area you can even see one on brute force with some important commandments like never admit your mistakes, never apologize, and always be the person in charge.
The Donkey Kong Expansion
One of the secrets most interesting of Super Nintendo World It is the mysterious locked door with a design from the Donkey Kong series.
This area where fans can sit and rest seems like a way to indicate that both Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong are connected a door apart. However, the community has discovered that this Easter Egg goes further.
Thanks to the dataminers who took it upon themselves to review the official app, we now know that Nintendo is planning an expansion of the Super Nintendo World inspired by the world of Donkey Kong. A subsequent leak showed us the initial design in which a tropical concept full of green areas and designs from the series can be seen even on the walls.
The machinery behind the door also reveals that they’re working on something, which can’t be anything other than Donkey Kong’s secret expansion into the Super Nintendo World.
Level secret of Super Nintendo World
By now you know that this popular amusement park has interactive activities in which you can accumulate points using your wristband. What you may not know is that after getting three keys, you will gain access to the level secret
There are many hidden details and references within this attraction exclusive to those who paid for their bracelets. Among them is the fact that everything is gigantic, so you will feel like Mini-Mario. You’ll also have the chance to go head-to-head against the evil Bowser Jran excellent experience for any fan of the series.
The lottery and The Express Pass
This may not be so much a secretbut a relatively little known fact about the Super Nintendo World. This is because in the midst of so much hype about the most outstanding elements of the park, information about the most basic is often lost.
Although the Super Nintendo World is located inside Universal Studios Japan, it is not enough to enter the latter to guarantee your entry to the former. If you want to enjoy the Mario experience you will have to get an additional ticket, either inside the park complex or in the official app.
The curious thing is that this entrance does not guarantee you access to the park either, as many people want to enter, which has led those responsible to resort to a lottery. If your ticket is a winner, you and your companions will be able to enter the Super Nintendo World the same day. Otherwise, you can resort to a second lottery in case someone cancels their plans.
But if you want to enter yes or yes that day, there is a third option. It is the Express Pass, a paid entry that has the following prices:
- Express Pass 4 for Mario Kart or Yoshi’s Adventure: 7,800 yen (approximately $70)
- Express Pass 7 for Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Adventure: ¥10,800 (approximately $100)
- Express Pass Premium for all attractions: ¥18,700 (about $170)
Each of these passes offers access to the aforementioned and some other attractions. The Express Pass will guarantee your entry to the Super Nintendo World and it will allow you to skip the lines, although it is a separate purchase from the interactive bracelets. You have more information about these passes at Universal’s official website.
