If you’re on the larger side, you may have a bit of trouble with being secured into the Kart. It’s a pull-down lap bar. Thankfully, before you get into the queue, there is a seat for you to try at the entrance. It’s to the left as soon as you enter Bowser’s mouth. Is there a single rider line for Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge?

Since it’s hard to tell without seeing it in person, many are wondering what this new ride is actually like. Let’s go over how the ride system, Augmented Reality technology, and game mechanics work together, to let you play a video game in real life on the Mario Kart ride. UPDATED: See the video version of this story below for additional visuals! How crazy was this on opening day? I arrived at the park at 8:30 AM (on a typical day, the general park opens at either 8 or 9 AM). I was able to gain the option to reserve my slot by around 9:10 AM. By that point, the earliest entry into Super Nintendo World was 11:50 AM. The long and detailed queue makes much sense with how popular this will undoubtedly be. The library is my favourite portion of the queue, with all the small details sprinkled throughout. AR Headset

The race begins like every other Mario Kart game you’ve ever played – with the iconic countdown music. The first moment I heard that I got chills down my spine and had the biggest smile on my face. The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan– You’re directly in front of the Park gates and have instant access to Universal CityWalk Osaka. The rooms are gorgeous, with restaurants and even a Lawson (Japanese convenience store). The loading area for Mario Kart is double-sided (think Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts or Big Thunder Mountain), and you’re assigned to a numbered Kart. Each Kart is a different character, which fills my heart with glee.

You’ll notice straight away there are no AR glasses on the headset. The glasses are attached to the steering wheel when you enter your race kart. They’re pretty easy to secure as they slide into place and are secured with magnets onto the headset. This is one of the two biggest attractions, both of which showcase digital screens outside of them with their projected wait times. I peaked wait times for “Bowser’s Challange” as long as 150 minutes, and briefly as short as ~50-60 minutes. I waited an hour and a half for my turn.It’s a ride on rails that moves at a seemingly slow pace through entertaining physical sets that’ll make you cheer in glee. Mixed with the AR, it’s an overwhelming experience. You need to ride multiple times this is not Universal’s first rodeo, which is a big reason opening day went off so smoothly, albeit slowly But what isn’t quite so clear before trying to figure out what to actually do in there, is that Super Nintendo World wants you to “play it,” kind of like a Mario game in and of itself. What can you do inside the park? A cute and fun instructional video in the pre-show shows you how to do this. So don’t worry; you have plenty of time between receiving your headset and going through the preshow and additional queue. Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge Ride Details The Mario Kart 24V Ride-on Racer from Jakks Pacific puts kids in the driver’s seat. The racer looks exactly like the one from the iconic video game, complete with oversized wheels; the Mario “M” on the front; and the blue, red, and yellow color palette. It also has sound effects inspired by the game, including engine revving, Item Box twinkles, the high-energy Superstar Mode tune, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe theme song.

The AR glasses are the screen where you’ll see a variety of gaming elements. When you look at your steering wheel, you see your coins and items first. And since this is a race, you’ll see all the other virtual racers you’ll shoot your shells at, which is satisfying. The premise for this attraction is that Bowser has challenged Mario to a race that he designed. As a part of Team Mario, you’ll be helping to defeat Bowser at his own race. The name of this course is the Universal Cup, which is fitting for the venue. The premise of “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” is simple but equally inspiring and challenging, appealing to guests of all ages regardless of gaming experience. As part of Team Mario, guests will steer through underwater courses, and courses in the clouds to compete for the Golden Cup while collecting coins to defeat Team Bowser and win. “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” raises the stakes for guests as an intriguing and repeatable ride with a variety of outcomes. But just look for the people in what I would describe as “Splatoon-like” uniforms, a white coat with different colours all over.The mistake I made was not knowing how it was a limited time event, as it is an enclosed area and crowd control is very much needed, which helps with the lines, but it can still be quite crowded inside. Why? To eat at Toadstool Cafe, you must wait in line to get a reservation time (sound familiar?). For me, I got to the Toadstool Cafe line around 12:15 PM, where I waited roughly 20 minutes in line to be told the earliest time slot available was for 4:00 PM for between 1-4 guests (with different scheduling opportunities available for bigger parties.)
