Nintendo has announced plans to expand Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka with a Donkey Kong area. It's not surprising that construction has been ongoing for some time.
Nintendo has released images that confirm that the Donkey Kong Zone can be accessed via a large round entrance that is already present in the park. This door is almost exclusively Mario-themed. According to Nintendo, the zone will make Super Nintendo Worlds' overall size increase by around 70%.
Nintendo released a statement stating that the Donkey Kong Zone will feature a roller coaster and interactive experiences, as well as themed merchandise and food. The area will allow guests to explore the wild side of the jungles where Donkey Kong lives.
