A tour of the new Super Nintendo World has been live streamed to viewers, showing parts of the land along with new food and merchandise and the new Mario Kart ride.
The virtual tour by Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo showed that guests to the park will enter through the classic warp pipe which is complete with LED lights on the sides. The tunnel leads guests into the lobby of Peach’s castle where the iconic Super Mario music is playing.
Customers will wear interactive brands that allow them to interact with a number of elements in the park, and keep score via a QR code on the back. Each of the six power-up bands are based on different Nintendo characters. The ? Block, the Piranha Plant and a Koopa Troopa activities provide customers with a number of coins that can be used in the park or at home.
The heart of the new park is the Mario Kart ride, which has taken six years to develop. The ride, which will see guests ride as part of Mario’s team, is a specially designed course that Bowser – the main evil character in the Mario game – has created to defeat the protagonist.
The final part to be revealed on the virtual tour was the 1UP Factory shop that sells exclusive Super Mario merchandise, including popcorn that is Caramel Peach or Mushroom flavour.
