Super Nintendo World connections
These Lego Super Mario products are based on Nintendo’s games and are not considered Super Nintendo World sets. Still, the connections to Universal’s theme park lands are hard to miss.
Watch our YouTube video below for a look at Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Among the most notable is Bowser’s Castle. Bowser’s imposing fortress is one of the defining landmarks of Super Nintendo World, housing ‘Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge.’ At Universal Epic Universe, guests enter the castle before boarding the attraction and racing through Mario Kart courses, throwing shells and collecting digital coins in an attempt to defeat Team Bowser.
There are plenty of Mario Kart touchstones throughout the Lego collection. Racing with Mario includes a kart, shells, a Banana and coin, while Luigi & Bowser Jr.’s Race adds another pair of karts and shell launchers. Bowser’s Rumbling Race expands the lineup with Bowser, Toad, a Goomba and multiple vehicles.

Yoshi is getting some attention, too. The Yoshi at Mario’s House set includes Mario and Yoshi minifigures, while Yoshi has an entire attraction at Super Nintendo World in Epic Universe. ‘Yoshi’s Adventure’ carries guests through colorful Mushroom Kingdom landscapes in search of glowing eggs.
Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad can also be encountered as characters inside Epic Universe’s Super Nintendo World, further bridging the characters represented in Lego form with those guests now meet inside the theme park.
For anyone who has walked beneath the towering Bowser’s Castle, raced Team Bowser or collected coins inside Super Nintendo World, the new Lego collection offers plenty of familiar pieces of the Mushroom Kingdom to rebuild at home.
