Super Nintendo World is coming to the states next year. The Universal Studios Hollywood theme land does not have an exact opening date yet, but is being targeted for sometime in 2023, according to Nintendo.

“SUPER NINTENDO WORLD was conceived in partnership with Nintendo and the visionaries at Universal Creative to deliver exhilarating entertainment with innovative technological achievements inspired by characters and video games that have appealed to generations of Nintendo fans for over 40 years,” Nintendo said in a press release.

Super Nintendo World’s U.S. installment will include a Mario Kart ride.

“The immersive land will be a visual spectacle of vibrant colors and architectural ingenuity located within a newly expanded area of the theme park, featuring a groundbreaking ride and interactive areas, to be enjoyed by the whole family,” Nintendo said. “Themed shopping and dining will enhance the entire experience.”

While a date has not been set, Nintendo said in their press release that Universal Studios Hollywood will unveil a Super Nintendo World themed Feature Presentation retail store sometime soon. The store will feature Mario and Luigi themed apparel, plush toys and iconic character hats, among other things.
