Universal Japan’s Super Nintendo World has lifted their social media embargo and we can now look into the land! Now, we can see what the characters will look like within the land and the detail is pretty spectacular.
When you visit a theme park, one of the most important aspects is the theming within that land. From Disney World having Mickey Mouse wave to you or Winnie the Pooh bouncing around, to Universal Orlando Resort showcasing Sponge Bob or the Scooby-Doo gang, having characters present is essential for theme park immersion.
Seeing characters during a trip enhances the feeling of being transported to another world.
Masklomaniac (@masklomaniac) posted a photo of Princess Peach on Twitter and she looks straight out of a video game! Here’s to hoping that she can make her classic “Ha-Cha!” sound effect.
One impressive aspect of this character is her face. Not only are Princess Peach’s facial features identical to that in Super Mario Kart or any other Nintendo game, but her hair almost looks like it was Photoshopped in. The strands look both real and cartoon — if you stare at it long enough, you may be wondering if you are looking at a real photo or a picture of Princess Peach from within a game. Plus, having a Princess Peach character within this land is crucial and will likely be one of the first characters Guests get to see, considering that the green tube entrance spouts visitors directly into Princess Peach’s’ castle!
