Most of us probably won’t be able to travel to Japan to open Universal Studios Japan’s Super Nintendo World, but there is a second way to visit the theme park: a digital guide available on the Super Nintendo World website.
Sure, nothing will be as magical as the original, but the interactive map is our best view of the park yet. On the website, visitors can fly through the park and try different rides like the Mario Kart Koopa’s Challenge and a Yoshi ride called Yoshi’s Adventure. Everything is rendered in 3D, looking at the various interactive elements in the park all the way through to the grocery and gift shops.
You can see a full top view on the map below.

We also checked out the Power Up Bands who will be working together with a smartphone app. Of course they are also very cuteand designed to earn points as players “play” their way through the park. In addition to these bands, visitors to the park can also see Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toads – and according to the website, people with power up bands may have “more fun”. I don’t know what that means, but I do am excited to find out some day.
Until then, I just scroll endlessly through the complete digital solution.
