MARIO KART Racing Toward Universal Studios Hollywood’s SUPER NINTENDO WORLD! The excitement keeps going up and up! Universal Studios Hollywood has revealed new information on their signature ride at SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, an enchanting 16-bit land opening in early 2023. “Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge” will bring to life the iconic video game and characters with cutting-edge, immersive technology. Get the official details below! “Guests will access SUPER NINTENDO WORLD via the iconic Warp Pipe to enter the land where they will find the “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” ride located within Bowser’s Castle. This innovative achievement will propel guests into a multi-dimensional experience that recreates iconic environments from the Mario Kart games and where no two races are alike. “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” is also one of the most complex rides ever built within the entertainment industry. The sophisticated ride is a multi-sensory cornucopia of color, sound and movement that invites guests to navigate familiar environs through the creative use and integration of head mounted augmented reality (AR) goggles—a key point of differentiation that distinguishes this ride from other theme park attractions. From the depths of the dungeon within Bowser’s Castle, guests will climb aboard stadium-style, four-seat Mario Kart vehicles inspired by the video game, put on their AR goggles… and then with a 3-2-1 GO! signal from Lakitu, they will be off to the races. The premise is simple but equally inspiring and challenging and will appeal to guests of all ages regardless of gaming experience. As part of Team Mario, guests will steer through courses underwater and in the clouds to compete for the Golden Cup while collecting coins to defeat Team Bowser and win.”
