Super Nintendo World Osaka

Please read instructions before you arrive and get ticket in advance to enjoy! Please buy tickets express or get entry tickets when you enter the park. It will be a shame if you don’t have the tickets to get in. There is so much fun but first you need the entry tickets! Be aware the express ticket can not gurrentee your entry if the express ticket does not include any activities in the Nintendo world. I recommend go as early as possible if you are really interested since the people will gather more and more . It could take half a day to finish experiencing everything inside so get in early before people accumulating

The stress of not being able to get tickets in advance of the day is real!! 🤣 We bought the main park tickets and arrived at 8.30am on the day, as soon as we got into the park we reserved our Mario Tickets for 1.05pm. We spent some time in the main park, the minion area is fun and done up for Easter, the Jaws ride was unfortunately shut off. We did a kind of scavenger hunt in Jurassic park area and got some stickers. Then we headed into Super Nintendo World. We bought the wrist bands (approx £25GBP each). I think these vans really make the experience - hitting the blocks, collecting coins and playing the mini games... If you only want to go on the main rides though probably don't need these, but if you want to hang round and try and it has to offer these bands are a must! They can be used as Amibos for switch at home though, so not completely useless once you've left the park. Food wasn't great in the cafe, but it was an experience and well presented. We were unable to book a table but at 3pm they opened the door to anyone without a reservation, we happened to be outside so we were one of the first groups inside. We probably needed more than half a day there though - if you want to do the main rides though the wait times were 90 mins for Yoshi, 2 hours for Mario Kart and 3 hours for Donkey Kart! If we are back in Osaka again we'll be visiting again! If you are collecting ink stamps ask at the customer service for the stamp 😊 Also if you ask park employees for stickers they'll normally be able to give you one out of their bags. They have themed ones in the minion and Harry Potter zone you can only get there.

I would recommend getting your area timed entry ticket ahead of time!! I think it’s 100% worth it. We purchased express passes for 2/3 rides and it was worth it. We waited approximately 60 minutes for the Donkey Kong ride, but it was an amazing ride and well worth the wait. Overall, we had such a great time here. The atmosphere was great. The rides were really fun. The merchandise was awesome. Definitely a must do at Universal Osaka. It’s fairly busy here, but to be expected! We came on a Tuesday morning.

Arrive early! You need a timed entry ticket to get in, but once you do get in this world is an absolute blast. So much detail in Mario's world, you'd think it's the real thing! Peach's Castle was amazing, straight out of Mario 64. The wristband allows you to play the different mini games that gives you the keys to go to the final battle against Bowser Junior! The Mario Kart ride was fun, and Donkey Kong Country was wonderful as well. Mine Cart Madness was very enjoyable despite the long wait. Super Nintendo World is very interactive and true to the games.

What a fun day! Visiting Super Nintendo World was the closest you will be to being inside a Nintendo game! If you buy the armband, the whole area turns into a competition game. Please buy the tickets way in advance and the express pass to book your entry, or you might be very disappointed. The donkey kong area is also fun, but the queues to the roller coaster were insane!
