Deep within Bowser Castle lies Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, a collaboration between the creative teams at Nintendo and Universal Studios to recreate the world of the popular "Mario Kart" series, which has sold over 150 million units.

The world's first "Mario Kart" experience that lets you dive into the game world with your entire body!

Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge," which has been eagerly awaited by fans around the world, is the latest ride attraction that allows guests to jump into the game world as if they were Mario himself, while still in the real world. Guests actually get into the "Mario Kart" they are familiar with from video games, take the wheel, and get ready to start the race they have always dreamed of.

Guests will feel as if they have entered the world of the game as they drift and spin along the course, with Mario and Luigi's carts whizzing past them in a heated race. During the race, guests themselves throw kora (a kind of gem) obtained from an item box to fight off enemies, and together with Mario and Princess Peach, they race through the course to compete for first place. The experience changes with each ride, as guests win some races and lose others, creating a completely new "Mario Kart" experience that anyone can enjoy on a life-size scale.

This attraction elaborately combines the world's most advanced visual technologies such as AR, projection mapping, and screen projection, special effects such as steam, and famous scenes from past games recreated on the course as stage sets to create the world of "Mario Kart" in the real world. The world of "Mario Kart" is created in the real world. The creative team of Nintendo, including Shigeru Miyamoto, Fellow Representative Director of Nintendo Corporation, and Universal Studios Japan have been working together for over six years to create the world's first "Mario Kart" experience.

The whole family can get into the Mario spirit and unleash their avid instincts!
