Key Information
An attraction based on the enduringly popular Mario Kart series is the headline ride in Nintendo Land at Universal Studios Japan. Originally scheduled to open in July prior to the 2020 Olympics, Nintendo Land now has a grand opening on March 18th 2021. The cars hold 4 people (2 rows of 2) and the whole ride is heavily themed on Mario Kart, starting in Bowsers Castle but travelling through underwater and lava zones. Riders wear augmented reality headsets and can "throw shells" at other cars just as in the arcade game..
