At Universal Studios Japan, Super Nintendo World is wedged in at the northern end of the park, west of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and south of the Nintendo headquarters that are just outside of the property. Guests enter the park through a warp pipe from an entrance plaza. The entrance plaza can be accessed from a walkway that branches right next to the WaterWorld sign. The entrance plaza has lamp posts, a power star in the pavement, and Super Nintendo World signage next to the pipe. The pipe leads into Princess Peach’s Castle. When guests exit the castle, they enter the 2 level courtyard on the 2nd floor, immersed in the Mushroom Kingdom with Bowser’s Castle across the area. Several red, yellow and blue Pikmin can be found across the park on ledges, with some carrying objects like coins and a berry.
On September 28, 2021, a Donkey Kong land expansion was announced to open in 2024, featuring a roller coaster, interactive experiences, and themed merchandise and food. (Source from Wikipedia)
Mushroom kingdom
The Mushroom Kingdom (キノコ王国, Kinoko Ōkoku) is a fictional principality in Nintendo’s Mario series. It is the setting of most main-series Mario games with an inconsistent presentation. There is no established canon regarding the topography of the Mario universe, and many areas are not certain to be part of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Donkey Kong Country
Nintendo has confirmed plans to expand Super Nintendo World, its recently opened theme park at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, with a new Donkey Kong area. The news doesn’t exactly come as a surprise — construction already appears to have been underway for some time. The Donkey Kong zone will include “a roller coaster, interactive experiences and themed merchandise and food,” Nintendo says in a statement. “Guests will be able to take a walk on the wild side through the lush jungles where Donkey Kong and his friends live.“ Nintendo goes on to describe the area as “a gamechanger that combines the innovative technology and globally popular approach to theme park entertainment of Universal with the creativity of Nintendo.”
