Universal Studios Japan is expanding Super Nintendo World with the world’s first Donkey Kong-themed area.
Universal Studios Japan has confirmed that it is expanding the Super Nintendo World land to include the world’s first Donkey Kong-themed area, scheduled to open in 2024. Super Nintendo World opened at Universal Studios Japan earlier this year, an immersive space for innovative technology, themed rides, interactive entertainment and Nintendo characters.
Universal Studios Japan is already set to expand Super Nintendo World to include a themed area inspired by Donkey Kong, bringing to life one of Nintendo‘s most popular games.
“Super Nintendo World creates a whole new level of theme park entertainment and has quickly become an exciting, must-do experience for our guests,” said J.L. Bonnier, President and CEO of Universal Studios Japan. “We are thrilled to continue working with Nintendo as we fulfill our vision to bring their characters and stories to life. Our new Donkey Kong-themed area will bring even more excitement and fun to the Super Nintendo World experience.”
The Donkey Kong expansion will be delivered by the Universal Creative team, as well as Nintendo game developer Shigeru Miyamoto. The addition will increase the size of Super Nintendo World by approximately 70 per cent.
