Actually, the new, exclusive “Super Nintendo World” at Universal Studios Japan was supposed to open in due time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (cp. EAP news of 25 Nov 2019). Now the theme park resort announced yesterday that the opening is scheduled for spring 2021. An opening date will be announced soon. Besides rides and attractions, restaurants, shops and other experiences can be expected being part of the new themed world as well. These include a new theme park experience called “Power Up Band”, where guests wear a special wristband allowing them to jump, hit blocks, collect virtual coins and items, and much more like in the "Super Mario" game.
The world’s first “Mario Cafe & Store”, located in the “Hollywood Area” of Universal Studios Japan and scheduled to open on this coming October 16, will offer a small foretaste of the new immersive theme world, ahead of the opening of the new area. (eap)
