Universal Studios Japan is expanding Super Nintendo World with the world’s first Donkey Kong Country area, following its popular opening in March 2021.
Based on the video game series created by Nintendo, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Country will make its grand opening on December 11 and provide new experiences such as The Golden Temple, a shining structure located in the deepest part of the jungle that has actually appeared as a level in Donkey Kong games. Inside, guests will enter the world of Donkey Kong and feel the atmosphere of the mysterious ruins as well as discover the mural inside.
There will also be a new ride attraction, Mine Cart Madness, which utilises an innovative ride system and a unique coaster design, sending riders on an unpredictable adventure where they will experience jaw-dropping manoeuvres.
In addition, the theme park will offer new Play Wild! merchandise, including a ticket holder featuring designs of Donkey Kong’s trademark red tie and barrels as well as straps that match the tropical image of the area.
Information about the new area and the experiences that await guests will be announced prior to the grand opening.
