There is very little that we officially know about the Super Nintendo World coming soon to Universal Studios Hollywood apart from that 1) it is really happening, and 2) it will have a Mario Kart ride. But more information concerning the build may have just leaked online (thanks, WDW).
Reportedly found in an upcoming update for the theme park's official app, @CygnusParkYT appears to have found a design for the Super Nintendo World map, showing off both Peach's and Bowser's castles, an ice area, and the potential entrance to the aforementioned ride.
While this has not yet been confirmed as the park's official map, Universal continues to state that the attraction will be opening in "early 2023" so it makes sense that a design would be all ready to go at this point.
The park comes following the success of a similar attraction in Universal Studios Japan. While there has been no specific date attributed to the Hollywood opening as of yet, a second build in Universal Studios Orlando is already underway.
Will you be rushing off to Super Nintendo World Hollywood when it opens next year? Jump down to the comments and let us know!

Looks exactly the same layout as the Japanese one, with the same attractions and landmarks. I was hoping they would make it bigger and expand on the original with new rides, since they have a larger area to do so.
That desert area though 🤨
@YoshiF2 Except minus the Yoshi's Adventure ride, Mario Motors gift shop (1up Factory still exists as a Mario Kart ride exit) and the Donkey Kong land entrance.
@SpiderSquid So donkey Kong land is a thing that’s happening?
I am just back from the park in Japan and it is sensational. The people who work their really act the part and it feels magical.
@SpiderSquid Yoshis Adventure ride must be on the mountain. They even put a Yoshi icon there and you entree through the pipe at the bottom.
@YoshiF2 nope. they've clarified that the yoshi ride is not in hollywood
Awesome that the West is getting a NintendoLand, sucks that it seems to be a lesser version.
Would love a fully fledged Nintendo theme park with areas for all different IPs. How cool would it be to leave the Mushroom Kingdom via a tunnel and when you come out everything is huge and you’re Pikmin scale being chased by Bulborbs. Then to go to rest at a Rooster’s cafe and do a little bug catching ride for Animal Crossing. Then, maybe via the SS Dolphin, you head to Zebes and shoot some space pirates and Metroids! Then you’re in Kirby land and there are restaurants and an Air Ride.
I could go on. I’m sure they have thought about it and maybe have plans. It gets me very excited to think of the different things they could do beyond Mario. Even a Luigi’s Mansion would be amazing!
@Nikhogan The secret life of pets rides uses the same ride system as the Yoshi ride, but Universal Hollywood is extremely land locked aswell.
@Snatcher Universal Hollywood doesn't have the room for it, but Japan and eventually Orlando are getting an extra section based on Donkey Kong Country with a minecart roller coaster. It's even designed so that it looks like the minecarts are "jumping" the track like in the games. There are plenty of spy photos and BTS info on it if you want to know more.
@CupidStunt I want to go so badddddd :')
So four main attractions with maybe 4 smaller sprinkled in?
Probably not worth the extravagant prices they'll charge.
They really ought to add other series, otherwise it's basically just Super Mario World.
Earthbound anyone?
@Papery0shi Really it was worth the whole cost of the trip. I have never been in a themed park so authentic. I wished I could post pics as I was dressed up as Luigi the whole time and the staff were going crazy for it!
