Super Nintendo World, which is hosting the Super Mario universe, includes Bowser’s Castle, a Yoshi-themed attraction, and even a Toad-run café. With the newest addition of the Donkey Kong property to its park, it is expected to add a new roller coaster, interactive character experiences, as well as themed food and goods for park-goers to immerse themselves with the whole Donkey Kong experience.
