Super Nintendo International, Common’s Mushroom Kingdom-inspired land, will project its distinctive red Peach Fortress doors in Orlando, Florida, on May 22.
This third iteration of Super Nintendo International, following versions open at Universal Studios Japan in 2021 and at Universal Studios Hollywood so far, arrives as part of Common’s pristine 110-acre, billion-dollar Epic Universe themed land.
Super Nintendo International is one of five themed grounds on the pristine grounds, which guests can explore across Celestial Ground, Lightless Universe, Educate Your Dragon’s Isle of Berk, Super Nintendo International and Harry Potter’s Ministry of Spell. And if you’ve revealed previous Super Nintendo International releases, you’ll know what to expect here.
Super Nintendo International Orlando features the same AR-based Mario Kart adventure in Japan and Hollywood, along with the quieter (if sometimes hellish) dark adventure of Yoshi’s Journey, which failed to make the cut at Universal’s smaller lot in California .
Additionally, it includes Super Nintendo International’s second Donkey-Kong themed division, along with the incredible Mine-Cart Insanity roller coaster, either of which will be set to appear in Japan next year after a long time. Visitors can also expect the same wristband-based interaction device visible elsewhere, and the familiar collection of retail stores and restaurants.
Super Nintendo International’s alternate locations have for the most part been well-received, despite its recent lackluster range of tours, and Universal reportedly has big plans for the year, with long-rumored Pokémon and Zelda fields in the inner circles of the topic. A Zelda land has been claimed to replace the now-defunct Lost Continent section of Universal Orlando’s Travel Islands, for example: stories that gained traction after Zelda maker Eiji Aonuma was spotted in a legitimate video from Universal briefly retired before this time.
But first, Super Nintendo International arrives in Florida on May 22, with a standard Singapore version to apply. And we’d even see one in Bedford eventually, if Common makes the decision to press ahead with plans to build a 476-acre themed land and lodge in the UK.
