Review: If you’ve always dreamed of stepping inside a video game, then Super Nintendo World is your chance to eat, drink, jump, drive, breathe and live like Super Mario.

The technical rehearsals will allow lucky Universal visitors to explore the land and maybe even ride Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge at select times when the park wants to put Super Nintendo World through its paces before the grand opening.

There’s only one way into Super Nintendo World and only one way out — and the two paths don’t cross. Visitors enter through a green warp tube with a clever bend in the middle that slowly reveals the saturated colors and chaotic frenzy of the video game universe recreated inside the land.Universal Creative brain trust ‘gutted’ in mass exodus of team behind biggest attractions

Sheer walls tower around the edges of the compact land carved out of what was once studio backlot. A construction crane that won’t be around forever was the only thing I could see when standing in the middle of the Mushroom Kingdom land surrounded by toadstool seats and umbrellas. The outdoor Mario Kart queues offer a few fleeting glimpses of backlot building rooftops — but otherwise you’re sealed in a theme park version of a life-size video game environment.

For better or worse, most visitors will likely be standing indoors in 12 distinct and interconnected queue areas waiting to ride the new Mario Kart AR racing car attraction.The expansive queue winds through themed spaces dedicated to preparing for the race ahead — from a library filled with driving tips and tricks to an armory brimming with video game weaponry and ammunition.Super Nintendo World opens Feb. 17 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The Golden Cup featured in the Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge ride in Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood. My favorite part of the new Super Nintendo World was the real-world versions of video game experiences sprinkled throughout the land. The challenge is to complete them all while accumulating digital booty along the way before advancing to the final challenge. The games were easy to understand even for a non-gamer like myself and insanely infectious.
