How would you like to meet Super Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach inside the Mushroom Kingdom? Thanks to the METICULOUS recreations at the Super Nintendo Worlds at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando, you can! The theme park designers have spared no expense to create METICULOUS sites that include the iconic Green Time Warp Pipe, the inside of Princess Peach’s Castle, Bowser’s throne room, and an innovative Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge Ride. Hungry visitors can stop by the Toadstool Café and enjoy a hearty bowl of Chef Toad’s Super Mushroom Soup and a tasty Princess Peach Cupcake!
