That game was mind-blowing because of the emphasis it placed on exploring. Super Nintendo World feels like a giant love letter to the Mario games - particularly Super Mario 64, the franchise's first 3D entry.

It's hard to describe the experience of walking through one of the most iconic video games of all time, but that's exactly what it feels like. The area is complete with rides, activities, an adorable restaurant and a gift shop full of exclusive merch. Nestled within Universal Studios Hollywood, alongside iconic rides like Revenge of the Mummy and just a short walk from Springfield, Super Nintendo World is a land unto itself. We were lucky enough to explore the park before it opened, and we're happy to report it’s just as big, bonkers and fun as you'd want a real-life recreation of the Mushroom Kingdom to be. Universal Studios Hollywood has officially opened up Super Nintendo World, the first iteration of the park outside of Japan, and is welcoming Nintendo fans of all ages to explore and capture some of that Mario magic.
