Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Inside Super Nintendo World: I Tried Everything!”.
Hey everybody we’re here at Universal Studios, Hollywood checking out Super Nintendo World we’re going to try and check out everything in a speed run. Let’S go the world is the latest in immersive theme park lands. It’S been highly anticipated since first premiering in Japan. This is the first installment in North America. The land tries to immerse you in the world of Super Mario Brothers. The story is a familiar one. Bowser and his minions have made off with the golden mushroom and it’s up to us to get it back, but before we can do that, we need to get ourselves a power band. That is our first stop all right. So this is where you get your power up band, that’s going to let you play all kinds of different games and unlock different experiences, so you uh, you can see they got all the different characters here. I’M gon na go with toad because uh Toad’s, my favorite uh check out 43.80, and you should end up with something like this there’s some other stuff that you get with the band through the Universal Studios, app such as, like unlocking certain stickers and things like that. One thing you get with the band is another level of replayability, so the band keeps track of if you’ve beaten the challenge before and you come back and play it again. It’Ll play it on hard mode and it’ll, keep it on hard mode until you lose and then it’ll revert back to normal difficulty, foreign kinds of games, you can play with your band, so we’re about to give one a try. The way it works.
Is you put your band on the key that’s going to set off all these alarm clocks kind of like waking up in my house, you got to turn them all off before you can go back to sleep lock, my band all right now time for a relaxing Nap [ Applause, ], okie, dokie Rock. I learned my lesson on the last game. Things can get pretty intense, so I’m just gon na use my band to get it started and then tuck it away for safe keeping we’re trying to knock the Goomba into the uh.
The wood chipper – I don’t know Mario Brandon, okay, nice cool. Let’S go okay made mince meat out of that Goomba. Let’S we got the key. Let’S, let’s move on since Super Nintendo World is based on gaming. You can gamify your experience using these bands and the Universal Studios app.
You can enter your name, keep track of how many coins you’ve got and see how you rank as a team or individually team toad, not doing so good. As you can see, team-toed forever. You can meet and greet Mario Luigi and Peach since it was my first time interviewing a monarch. I felt I had to hit her with the tough questions, hello, Princess Peach, quick question for you to Prince.
I’M I’m doing very well. Thank you, uh one question. Uh! Do you have any response to the rumor that I just started that you’re planning to dissolve the monarchy and instill a democratic system of governance where every toad gets a vote and every plumber can govern wow you’ve collected so many coins? Thank you. So much for your time, let’s get a picture all right, so I’m feeling hungry after all that gaming.
So let’s hop in the Toadstool Cafe and uh see what kind of Nintendo World treats they got. The whole menu is full of items that are Super Mario themed Chef, toad has cooked everything up on display the chicken burger looked good and the beef short ribs did as well. However, my shooter and I decided to go for salads, since we still had a lot of running around. To do Not only was the food themed, the restaurant itself had tons of theming. There were screens in the windows showing different events happening every few minutes, so we placed our order, we’re waiting on our food and in the meantime we got these signature drinks, it’s lemonade, Sprite and some popping Boba and I think, maybe some mango gel various flavors of Popping Boba and some mango gel on top that boat will be popping, so we’ve got Yoshi’s, favorite, fruit and veggie salad and we’ve got the Superstar chicken salad and for dessert. We’Ve got the question mark block Tiramisu and the mount Bean pole cake.
Okay, y’all Chef toad is closing for the day he’s kicking us out. I would give the meal about three Goombas out of five, but, as you can see, I cleaned my plate, so uh I did enjoy it on to the next thing, all right, so we’re gon na hit these pow blocks. It’S gon na cause a chain reaction. That’S gon na knock the Koopa off his uh perch up there and get us that third key. Let’S check it out.
Good luck, foreign! So now we got all three keys time to meet the man himself. Every great hero needs a great villain for Mario, that is Bowser. We’Ve got all three keys, it’s time to meet Bowser and get that golden mushroom back, let’s check it out.
We have other things. Thank you got a little a little uh puff of that dungeon air. You know got the totalitarian rules in the castle. Do not climb all right.
This is the final challenge to uh get the golden mushroom. Okay, The Showdown with Bowser Jr is a game where you smack bom bombs, away, duck Bullet Bill and jump to get power-ups all right. It’S a nice little active, felt kind of like fruit, ninja Vibes a little bit. It’S cool Princess Peach left us a really nice little message here, congratulating us and Thanking us for saving the golden mushroom.
This is such a nice message from Princess Peach. I almost feel bad about giving her that uh Hardball question earlier so yeah. We had a great time we bought Bowser, Jr and uh. We came out Victorious this time, but who knows Bowser’s always up to something we’ll see what he’s up to next and how we can stop him. Foreign Bowser’s challenge, it’s an augmented reality. Mario Kart experience.
Let’S go check it out, as you can see, based on the amount of line space that they have built. They are expecting this to be very popping, so uh get here early and be ready to wait. So the theming in here is really nice. It feels like Bowser’s Library, you’ve got books on the Mushroom Kingdom and stuff, along with you, know, little ghosties and chain Chomps and all of the uh.
The littlest Goomba they’ve got a lot of nice little detail in the books and stuff foreign ERS. Hence why I lost my Luigi hat, I’m going to trade it in for a Mario hat. Thank you very much and then the AR visor plugs in right in here busy about to see if all those College, Mario Kart nights, pay off who’s. Your favorite Mario Kart driver, let us know down in the comments, so these things are magnetic.
They clip on really easily – and this is where a lot of the action is going to be on this AR visor tap your power band onto the wheel, to get it cooking adios. So I was only able to photograph the physical design of the ride. There’S another layer of augmented reality on top where you can see the other Racers that you’re racing against team Bowser is swerving in front of you and you’re like pressing the buttons to like send red shells after them and you’re almost aiming with your your visor. So, as you move up, you can hit enemies that are above you and, as you move side to side, you can hit them there and there and you also have a little augmented reality counter. That tells you how much how many coins you got and how many shells you have left my first time trying augmented reality in any capacity and it’s really interesting to see how it was used in this ride context. Team Bowser won again coming after practice and now time to exit through the gift shop. These guys were always my favorite nemesis. You make your own Luigi costume at home for free or come here and get a legit one for just 60 bucks.
It’S a nice little detail here. They got the banana peel as the wet floor sign. So for all you, Easter egg hunters out there we did get a hint that there are four 8-bit characters in the park that you can discover.
I won’t show you where any of them are, but I will show you what it looks like when you get one foreign checking out Super Nintendo World. It definitely feels like a nice all ages experience. I expected a little bit more like obstacle course type things just given the Hazardous nature of Mario’s Plumbing work.
I think this is definitely very gamey and righty versus, like you know, perilous, obstacles and stuff. My favorite was the Bowser Junior ride. I love the uh. You know the interactivity of it and the physicality of it. I thought that was really nice, but you can only access that Bowser Junior ride with the band, which is an additional 40 plus dollars. So if you’re planning a trip out here, definitely make sure you budget for that we’re just here for about a half a day, so we saw most of the park in that half day, but there’s also no line. So if there were lines you might take a full day to see most of it as someone who grew up playing some of these games, it’s cool to see it come to life in a physical form.
This is definitely the closest thing. I’Ve seen to real life. Mario, in all, my days, all right thanks so much for watching everyone.
What do you think of Super Nintendo World? Do you want to come? Let us know down in the comments now. I’M gon na have to go. Find a real Luigi hat. See you next time.
