Slated to hit Orlando and Japan's Universal Studios' theme parks, Super Nintendo World aims to immerse visitors in the world of Super Mario, boasting rides, restaurants, and shops pulled from the franchise's universe. Last week, it was announced that Orlando's variant of the park would be delayed until 2025, however, it seems Mario fans from Japan will be able to visit the attraction relatively soon.

Revealed by Nintendo's Twitter account, March 18 will mark the grand opening of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan. The attraction was originally announced back in 2016 with the aim of opening its doors in 2020, but the effects of the pandemic soon led to setbacks for the project.

As for what visitors will be able to do in Super Nintendo World, the attraction aims to be a door into the world of Mario and the various sub-franchises spinning off from the moustached plumber's adventures. Several rides have been revealed through press coverage of the park, including an AR-based Mario Kart ride which allows visitors to experience the chaotic action the kart-racer has become renown for. There will also be a Yoshi ride which sees attendees sit on the back of the green dinosaur as he takes them on a tour of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Outside of rides, the area will be themed around iconic Mario levels, with visitors encouraged to interact with scenery in the park to collect points and eventually use this accumulated currency in a battle with Bowser Jr. When they're done, they will be able to visit several shops, including a Toad-themed cafe that serves Super Mario inspired food and a Yoshi drink stands. There will also be a 1-Up gift shop that sells Mario merch, such as plushies, hats, and toys. With the attraction being stuck in production for so long, it's sure to gain a lot of traction when its doors open to the public.

Super Nintendo World is yet another example of Nintendo's newfound interest in expanding the Mario franchise outside of video games. The company has already collaborated with LEGO and released sets based on the iconic platforming mascot, while it will be partnering up with Despicable Me creators Illumination Studios to bring Mario to the big screen. The film will allegedly be dropping next year, although little is known about its plot or the talent behind it. That's not to say that the character hasn't been present in the world of video games, with Nintendo recently releasing a remaster of Super Mario 3D World bundled with a brand-new, experimental Mario adventure known as Bowser's Fury.

Universal Studios Japan's Super Nintendo World will open on March 18.
