Super Nintendo World in Japan appears to be coming along nicely. Just last week, we got our first look at spinning coins, and now we've got an even more exciting tease of Mario's sidekick Yoshi.
The following clip has been uploaded by Twitter user @ywki_woo. It shows a life-size Yoshi model walking around a tree and then slowly zooms out until you see a flagpole. Update: Below this is a higher quality video that's been uploaded to YouTube.
As you can see, there's also a Thwomp, Goomba and Koopa Troopa on display along with some trademark Mario blocks. The whole park seems to be making good progress, so we can't wait to see more glimpses of it like this in the future.
If you'd like to view more, be sure to take a look at the aerial photographs and of the new shots from the ground that were shared earlier this month.

Yoshi is literally stewing in his own juices.
Yes!! I love it all!
When is Super Mario World Japan scheduled to open?
EDIT: ah, it's scheduled for sometime this year, 2020.
Orlando - 2023 (heck yeah)
Every time I see images of the place I still struggle to believe it is real. It looks so good it looks too good to be a real thing but well it is.
It's so beautiful
So lovely. So much
I doubt we'll hear non Mario related music at the land itself, but that freefalling song makes it more beautiful than it deserves to be.
My parents have a place like an hour from this park. I think a visit is in order. haha
I still wonder how they will manage to make floating blocks. It's not like they can work their magic and optimise reality like they do with games. They might prove me wrong and create Bioshock Infinite like particle though.
Is it not a Thwomp as opposed to a Thomp?
Not really my thing but it looks amazing
Meanwhile, I'm still stuck at home in a QUARANTINE.
This is adorable I wanna go there.
Yoshi is actually wearing a Fitbit and trying to get his 10,000 steps in for the day.
Galaxy's Edge wishes it could be as immersive as this will be. This looks to be full of color and life while Star Wars was essentially a overpriced bloated shopping district in a desert land that's based off nothing from the movies.
This looks sooo cool!
HOW IS THAT REAL?!? It looks like a game!!
Oh man! They totally nailed it! Brilliant
@ottospooky I sure hope so.
@Rhaoulos tension wire, fishing line, correct placement and lighting will create floating block effect. If a stage hand at a theater can do it so can Nintendo.
wouldn't mind a game that looks like that first screenshot!
Wow, that camera can zoom in that far?
Hit the POW block to demolish the park.
Look amazing!
On the side note: I miss Tom Petty so much.😰
@RustedHero supposedly, it was going to be based on tatooine before Cathleen Kennedy wanted them to change it to be it's own thing that could fit in with the new movies
I got slammed in the nostalgia with Donut Plains tunes while watching this. Looks like the section is coming along nicely!
The coins even spin, this is soo cool
I'm more impressed by that animatronic crow that flies by! How in the world did they make it look so real???
the way the coins look real . . .
@SPL64 me too 😢
I almost spilled my water browsing the news and see this because I thought that was a screenshot of an upcoming 35 years anniversary 3D Super Mario World...
I went to Uni Orlando in winter 2019 and absolutely loved it! this alone makes me want to go there the second time..but I need my wallet to heal first💉
@GamePerson19 I totally believe that. Don't get me wrong though I will admit that the Falcon ride (and life sized Falcon) is cool, the Cantina is fun (should have been the Mos Eisely version instead of some made up one on a planet that isn't in any movie), and the new Rise of the Resistance ride is a blast. However other than that the rest is dull due to the fact there's not much that connects the passionate fan base to the land. There's so much to Star Wars but barely any of it is in the land. They pretty much handcuffed themselves with the design of what they can showcase being stuck on a random planet and timeline.
Super Nintendo World looks like they're trying to implement everything that they can squeeze into it. So much color, life and representation of the various Mario world scenery. They could have just picked one level/area of a Mario game but that would have limited creativity like with Galaxy's Edge. They understand that there's so much to the Mario world that you need to try to get as much as possible implemented. Hell you could create an entire theme park based off the Mario franchise.
Looking at the first screenshot, I have a question for you guys. Would you like that level of realism in a Mario game, in terms of graphics?
Yoshi slowly wandering around a tree to the beautiful singing voice of late Tom Petty is everything I needed.
