Super Nintendo World made a splashy debut at Universal Studios Hollywood this month with its soft opening, and gamers and tourists alike raced to see what the park had to offer and to get in line to test out its highly-anticipated Mario Kart ride.

Another one of the ride’s critics, a Twitter user named Anna, wrote, “Can we discuss how at my biggest I would not have been able to fit on Mario Kart? A 40-inch waist line is about a size 20. Are you freaking kidding me @UniStudios? It’s a DARK RIDE.” TikToker David Vaughn gave his followers a heads up about the size restriction on the video-sharing platform, saying. “Unfortunately, the new Mario Kart Bowser’s Challenge attraction comes with a warning that guests whose waistline is at least 40 inches or greater may not be accommodated on the ride.”

“This ride employs safety restraints which may restrict certain guests from riding due to body shape and size,” the guidelines read. “Guests whose waist line is at least 40 inches or greater may not be accommodated on the ride and are strongly encouraged to try the test seat provided at the entrance of the attraction to ensure their ability to ride.”

Universal isn’t banning them because they’re overweight, it’s because they eat on the ride and throw their banana peels all over the place

I love Mario kart

I'm sure a lot of people have become plus-sized from playing Mario Kart.

It definitely save a spot in the Victoria secret fashion show for them though!?!?!

Warriors and Bowser will be pissed!

Didn't a guy die from being too heavy for a ride recently? So they would rather die than lose weight 🤔

obesity has consequences, who knew?

You have the right to be plus sized, but there are consequences such as poor health and not being able to fit on a coaster. If either means that much to you, maybe you'll do something about it.

Honestly shameful, there was always a heavy class in Mario Kart.

I bet it was a heavy decision

Even if they did let them ride as is, what happens when they hit the giant mushroom? Way too risky

Short people cant ride either

For heavens sake. If you're fat you can be injured or injure others. It's a safety thing.

They can go to Sea World and swim with the Whales

Stop being fat 💁🏻‍♂️

Okay let them get on

If you can’t fit into a ride you have bigger problems than not being able to go on the ride….

Following the death of a 340 lb. Teen in Orlando who feel out of the Icon Drop Ride, because he was over the weight limit and let on the ride anyway, and the subsequent lawsuit and closure of the ride. This is the only sane thing.

But i identify as a weightless person. Are they telling me i dont ?

You trying to tell me that Bowser can fit into one of those things but Lizzo can’t?

What part about , 'too much weight ' will break things do people not understand.

Even technology has weight limits.

The Universal Hollywood Nintendo land looks awful, it's even a eyesore for the rest of the park. We can hope the one in FL is better

Let the fatties have a go. Let's see what happens. Could be entertaining. 😂

This is a sign you should take better care of yourself. Obesity is no joke and cause multiple underlying lifelong conditions.

Say “extremely overweight” visitors. Can’t really cancel a machine that can’t take the weight of one person’s irresponsibility.

Universal finally weighs in

Fat asses rejoice

I bet this wasn’t a heavy decision

Always the 1%

aka FAT!

DrAnitaBEtin This is heavy on the heart.

There must be a reason

Koopa sized

Plus-sized? You mean obese because if you are too big for the kart that's what you are.

Wow
