A Chilhood Memory at USJ
#exploreasia
USJ has always been my place-to-go bucket list. Especially when I know the existance of Super Nintendo World in USJ. Along with the entrance pass, you have to secure the entry time ticket for this area which can be done through USJ apps.
When I first enter the area, a chilhood memory rushed into me. I am sure everyone has played Nintendo during younger years and being able to see and touch all these in front of your eyes are all dreams come true.

The Incredible Super Nintendo World at USJ 🇯🇵
I’m so lucky I got to visit Super Nintendo World after it had opened. Located in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, it is absolutely beyond expectations!
The official park opening time was 9:00am but I had read online they open the gates around 8:00am. I arrived just after 7:00am and secured my spot very close to the front of the queue. Amazingly, they did open the park early and it was a full on sprint to Super Nintendo World!
I didn’t have time to stop and take photos as I entered the land, and I barely even looked around. I was heading straight for Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge. This ride was wild. I’ve never experienced anything like it before. I managed to ride it two more times before 9:00am!!! I eventually managed to figure out what I was actually doing because the first ride was just so overwhelming with the VR headset.
Yoshi’s Adventure is a slower, much more chilled attraction that takes you around his kingdom and then outside to see the land from above. It’s very cute but I feel like they could’ve done more with this.
Throughout the land there are various character meet and greets. You can find Mario & Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach. There was always long lines to meet them!
‼️ If you arrive later, you are required to get a timed entry ticket to enter Super Nintendo World. I managed to get one of these on the day, and re entered the land later in the day!
🌟 I recommend making use of the Single Rider Line for the Mario Kart ride!!!

You don't need an Express Pass with this guide to Universal Studios Osaka
Universal Studios Japan in Osaka has a great overall atmosphere, and it's the most enthusiastic of the four Universal Studios parks I've visited. However, without a good strategy, you'll end up waiting in long lines and might miss the Nintendo area, so I've put together the following guide:
✅【Preparation】
❶ Purchase tickets online in advance, then download the USJ app and link your tickets.
❷ Bring 100-yen coins (for lockers), disposable raincoats (you might get wet on water rides), and a water bottle.
❸ Bring a power bank and other electronic devices.
⭐️【On the Day】
❶ Operating hours: Generally from 8 AM to 9/10 PM, but it varies daily, so be sure to check in advance before you go.
❷ Those who enter first can head straight to Nintendo (if you enter early, you don't need a timed entry ticket to play, see USJ live for details), or you can draw a digital timed entry ticket using the USJ app after scanning your ticket to enter the park, and choose a suitable time.
❸ If you don't get a free digital timed entry ticket, you can also buy one on-site at the Nintendo area entrance (limited quantity, 2000 yen), with a designated entry time.
📮【Tour Order】
❶ Nintendo: Includes Mario Kart, Yoshi's Adventure (a train ride through the Mario area), and Power Up Band Challenges.
❷ Harry Potter: 4D experience, Hippogriff flight.
❸ Hollywood: Demon Slayer XR experience - a must-go, Hollywood Dream ride, 4D experience area.
❹ Minions: Mischievous ride.
❺ Jurassic Park: Flying Dinosaur coaster, boat ride.
❻ WaterWorld: Multiple shows available, check USJ for schedule, showtimes vary by month.
❼ Amity Village: Jaws.
❽ Universal Wonderland: A mix of various IPs, great for photos.
❾ Parade: There's only one at 2 PM, goes around Hollywood, with characters like Mario and Pokémon coming out for a close-up celebration, great atmosphere, see image 1 for the parade route.
❤️【Ticket Purchase】
For those worried about not being good at Japanese or not knowing how to buy tickets, you can purchase them on Ctrip. Remember to book in advance and check the official website for operating hours before you go.

I could not imagine how excited I was coming to this Super Nintendo World in Osaka! Finally ticked one of my bucket lists 😍 we were so indecisive whether to make our trip there really early to queue to get into this, but we decided to go with the flow and get ourself ticket from lucky draw!!
In fact, I would feel that better to visit at night time because everything are lighted up and the colour were so vivid.
Psst! If you planning to get the Star shaped bucket popcorn, come here anytime for endless supply 😎 don’t have to queue elsewhere and get disappointed for out of stock.

Super Ninrendo World is located in Universal Studio Japan.
To enter the Super Nintendo World, an are timed entry ticket which is advance booking or an area timed entry ticket or standby ticket is required. You can purchase the tickets through the official app or from third party platforms which come with the Universal Express Passes. If not, you need to be there early to get a timed entry ticket via the USJ app.
You will feel yourself inside the Mario World when you are are there. Depending on the time schedule, you get to meet Mario, Peach and other friends from the Mushroom Kingdom.
Have so much fun in there.

Super Nintendo World - USJ Osaka
#cherryblossom2024
This is a must visit when you’re in Universal Studios Japan, experience the realistic set up just exactly like you were inside Mario’s world! There are 3 rides in total but my favourite was the virtual reality one. It was like playing arcades but in a much larger scale (as in it surrounds you) managed to only get in at night, but I personally think it’d be much prettier during the day! #awesomepic

Super Nintendo World Japan
#thingstodo This is a time entry area. They used to allow people to walk in before the official timing but this is no longer allowed. No reentry is allow too.
As expected, this is the most crowded place where everyone is visiting. You will need the Mario Power Band to interact with most exhibits that the game. It cost 4200 yen as of Nov 2023.
I leave it to you to decide if that is a worthy investment but do note that there are some games that you will not be able to play with, if you do not have the band.
Here we go~!

Super Nintendo World USJ
This is the first Nintendo-themed land inside Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, Japan. Officially opened on March 18, 2021, this brand-new land is a Nintendo fan’s dream.
This area packs into a seemingly small space with two attractions: a restaurant, snack stand, character greetings, shops, and many interactive elements.
This is a must-visit id you are around the area! I want to visit this place again.

Great experience at Super Nintendo World USJ
USJ was on top of my list when I planned for my Japan trip. Social media gives me the impression that it’s cool but always packed and hard to get in. I almost paid double the entrance fee to get the express pass. However, at the end, we decided to leave it to fate to save money.
As soon as we checked in the theme park, I quickly registered the 1 time entry tickets for Super Nintendo World. It was 11AM when I registered and I got the slot of 3:30PM. It’s still not bad because in 1 of the review videos I watched earlier, the content creator receive 7pm slot when she also registered at 11AM.#couplestrip #nintendo
