- mario kart koopas challenge Super Nintendo World Universal Studios Japan 2022
On March 18, 2021 Super Nintendo World officially opened its warp tunnel to the general public. The new attraction, sitting alongside Hogwarts, Jurassic Park, and (for some reason) Waterworld in Universal Studios Japan is an exacting recreation of the Mushroom Kingdom, full of witty, whimsical, and wonderful nods to Mario games old and new.
The centrepiece of the attraction happens to also be the only area of Super Nintendo World that isn’t swimming in colour: Bowser’s Castle. Within the walls of the archvillain’s abode lies Super Nintendo World’s biggest ride, Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge.
Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge is an ambitious, augmented reality experience that aims to manifest the frenetic action of a Mario Kart race in a controlled way, giving the riders the thrill of throwing koopa shells and perfectly grinding sharp corners in the physical world. But before you can even get onto the ride, the first thing you have to do is make your way through Bowser’s imperious castle.
What strikes you as soon as you approach the castle is just how enormous it is. The cast iron Bowser head entrance and industrious brickwork towers over most of Super Nintendo World’s modest square footage. As soon as you’re through the gates, cobalt grey walls are decorated with luscious reds and opulent golds. Gone are the bold, sugary sweet colour palettes of Mario and friends. We’ve entered Bowser’s house. And Bowser is boujie.

As you pass the giant Bowser portraits and drift along the tapestry-filled corridors, heading towards the ride, every nook and cranny is adorned with Mario Kart Easter eggs. These range from the obvious showpieces, such as the gorgeously re-created Mario Kart trophies, displayed and backlit in all their glory, through to smaller details that could be easily missed, such as a book titled, Surviving Rainbow Road.
Every detail helps build out the lore and fantasy of Bowser’s Castle, which is a genius way of making the queue time fly by. At peak hours of the day the wait can easily push to around 60 minutes. Considering the fact that COVID protocols are limiting entrance numbers to around 10,000 people a day you can expect those wait times to double when tourists are allowed back into Japan and the world finds its new normal. Thankfully, you will be too engrossed in the castle’s finer details to get bored of waiting.
As you progress through the castle, these details become even more ambitious. Paintings that were once static start moving depending on your perspective. Even further in, paintings spring to life, such as an adorably shy Boo within the castle’s library.

Eventually, once you have passed through the labyrinth of corridors and rooms, you make it through to the starting area of the ride and are handed your first peripheral: a Mario visor. This device is a simple enough head piece, designed to house the AR goggles you are presented with just before the ride commences. It is by no means the most comfortable thing to wear but it is micro-adjustable and not too heavy, so it can perch on your crown without too much bother.
The decor within the castle starts to noticeably shift throughout this section. Gone are the heavily decorated crystal lamps and statues, instead we start to get a glimpse of what a Mario Kart race would look like if it were run more like a Formula 1 event. Screens relay race feedback, consisting of multiple feeds of different tracks all pulled from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Once again, the attention to detail builds out the fantasy of the ride, making it much more than just a quick thrill.
Finally, it is time for the ride. The aim is simple: you are part of Team Mario, racing against the villainous Koopa clan. When an arrow flashes up on your AR visor you need to turn your steering wheel in that direction. When you physically turn your head, a series of friendlies and enemies will appear in front of you.
In addition, when you come to Amjone in Japan channel, you will discover the following interesting things :
