Universal Studios Hollywood announced that Super Nintendo World will open its long-awaited opening at this location in 2023. Super Nintendo World is Nintendo’s official theme park, with a location already open at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. Other locations are under development. The Hollywood location will be the site of Super Nintendo World’s first appearance in the United States, but the park is also under construction at the Universal Studios Orlando location.
In the immediate future, Universal Studios Hollywood will be selling exclusive Super Nintendo World merchandise at the Feature Presentation store, which will open soon. The Hollywood location has sold some Super Nintendo World merchandise before. Last August, it went on sale Mario plushes, hats and bags for a limited time.

Currently, Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan has two main attractions: Mario Kart: Koopa’s Trials and Yoshi’s Adventures. However, a Donkey Kong area will be added in 2024, which will be designed like a forest and offer themed food and drinks to go with it. When completed, it will make the total park area 1.7 times larger.
Although Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood will open in 2023, the outlook is dire for the Orlando location. It may not open until early 2025.
