The immersive and interactive theme park area will feature a Mario Kart ride, a Toad-inspired cafe and interactive play across the land in the spirit of Super Mario video games.
Inspired by the Mario Kart video games, the new ride will feature augmented reality , projection mapping technology and practical set pieces that set riders along a moving ride track amid a multi-sensory backdrop of color, sound and movement. This stadium-style seating attraction will feature four-seat vehicles navigating recognizable courses — from underwater to the clouds — through head-mounted AR goggles.
It will all be set within Bowser’s Castle, a structure topped with a sculpture of the Mario antagonist, which serves as the entry queue for riders who will be asked to navigate winding corridors where a hall of medallions and trophies eventually leads you to the ride. Beyond the ride, Mario and Nintendo fans will also be able to purchase Power-Up Bands for interactive gameplay across the park. These wristbands sync with Universal Studios Hollywood’s free downloadable app and allow wearers to interact with punching blocks to collect digital coins and obtain keys from Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Piranha Plant and Thwomp after beating the four key challenges, before facing a culminating boss battle with Bowser Jr.
The land’s own signature restaurant, Toadstool Cafe, will serve a gourmet menu perfected by Chef Toad, including toadstool cheesy garlic knots, super mushroom soup, piranha plant caprese, Mario bacon cheeseburger, Luigi pesto chicken burger, block tiramisu and Princess Peach cupcake. Meanwhile, the 1-UP Factory will offer fans a chance to purchase collectible memorabilia, from Mario and Luigi-themed apparel to character hats and plushes, including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser.
