We earlier reported on the official music video for Super Nintendo World which is set to open its gates to the public at Universal Studios Japan.
Super Mario World – Short overview
Thanks to the official Universal Studios Japan Twitter account, we got a further look at some of the things that those lucky theme park guests will be able to experience.
The focus on the wristbands and the smartphone companion app.

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD details
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD will feature a new level of theme park guest experience that blends the physical world with the world of the video game – bringing the world of Nintendo to life in a whole new way for guests. Guests can use a combination of state-of-the-art technology – a wearable wrist band called a Power Up Band – and a specially designed app.
This will allow them to have interactive experiences, making use of their arms, hands and entire bodies as they explore the new area – making them feel like they are truly part of the video game world. Guests can download the Universal Studios Japan app on their smartphones and link it to a Power Up Band that can be purchased in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD to enhance their experience.
The Power Up Bands are themed to different characters, so guests can select to wear one based on one of their favorite Mushroom Kingdom characters!
While wearing the band, guests can collect digital coins just like Mario does in the games. They can even compete with other guests to see who collected the most coins, among other fun and friendly competitions. State-of-the-art technology is being used in the SUPER NINTENDO WORLD area to bring all of these interactive activities to life.
What part of the park would you visit first? For me personally it just has to be the Mario Kart racing track! But one day
