Super Nintendo World Japan will soon become a hotter ticket for many fans. Universal Studios has revealed that a Donkey Kong Country area will open in Spring 2024.
Nintendo and Universal (which hosts the theme park at its Osaka location) haven’t shown off actual footage of the new zone yet. Instead, they opted to make the announcement with an animated trailer.
Perhaps the main attraction of the new area is a ride called Mine Cart Madness, named after the best level in the 1994 SNES game Donkey Kong Country. After being blasted out of a barrel cannon, you’ll take a mine cart ride through the jungle that includes a “leap across a collapsed track.”
According to Universal, fans will also be able to try a play experience that prompts them to use their whole body. Of course, food and merchandise will be available too.
The Orlando version of Super Nintendo World isn’t expected to open until 2025.
