The Mario Bros., and their friends on Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, will be opening an attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. The Super Nintendo World attraction is a track and ride vehicle, but it is still a Mario Kart game.
The second iteration of the ride joins the original which opened at the first Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan in 2021. There is a preview of what to expect in the future of theme parks.
This is not what riders will be seeing behind the augmented reality glasses, but the use of animation to convey the feeling of 3D is still fun. The moment we are most looking forward to is when peach breaks the fourth wall. If you have watched any ride-through footage from Universal Studios Japan, you will know that it isn't easy to capture real effects and visuals for a demo. We can't wait to ride it and see the 3D environments.
We can't wait for the cute food and shops that will open in the same year as the attraction.
