Nintendo and Universal confirmed the opening date for the Super Nintendo World location in Florida. It will be one of the zones that make up Universal Epic Universe, which opens at Universal Orland Resort on May 22, 2025.
The Florida location for Super Nintendo World will be similar to the one seen in Universal Studios Japan. The attractions will be mainly the same, with Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Yoshi’s Adventure and Toadstool Cafe all present. The new Donkey Kong Country section is also confirmed, along with the Mine-Cart Madness roller coaster. The park will also feature similar interactive elements to those seen in the Japan park.
The Florida location will notably be larger than the previously opened California location, which had to cut attractions such as Yoshi’s Adventure due to limited space. This will mean that the new park will be the first appearance of these attractions in North America.
Super Nintendo World is one of four lands being built for Universal Epic Universe, the fourth theme park at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. The other lands will include the Isle of Berk, based on How to Train Your Dragon, Dark Universe, based on Universal’s classic monster franchises, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. These areas will all be connected via a hub known as Celestial Park, themed around astronomy.
The Universal Studios Japan version of Super Nintendo World is also set to receive a Donkey Kong Country section in 2024, although its opening has been delayed.
Super Nintendo World will open as part of Universal Epic Universe in Florida on May 22, 2025.
