As construction continues on the site of the new Super Nintendo World expansion, Guests visiting Universal Studios Hollywood have been able to spot the beloved character Yoshi, who will be walking around the platforms of this highly immersive new land as soon as it opens.
Inside Universal (@insideuniversal) shared a few onsite photos of this newly arrived character you can see below.
Kevin Ciracha (@Kevin_Bizzaro22) also shared a more exclusive view of another famous character who recently arrived at Universal Studios Park, although in a much more concealed way, so to say. The photo posted by Kevin shows a wrapped animatronic, most likely to be Bowser Jr. holding his iconic brush, being stored in the ET parking lot at Universal Studios Hollywood.
So….I’m fairly certain this is Bowser Jr holding his iconic paintbrush under these wraps out in the E.T parking lot at Universal Studios Hollywood @AliciaStella @ExpAttractions
This is not the first time we’ve seen a popular character from the Mario Bros. franchise casually sitting inside the theme park’s parking lot, as we reported on a massive Thwomp spotted in a similar situation a couple of months ago.

These latter characters will also be a part of the highly anticipated Super Nintendo World expansion, most likely inside the land’s innovative attraction, Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge.

And to do so in new and innovative ways that capture what makes them so special. All of the adventure, fun and whimsy you experience through a screen will now be all around you – in breathtakingly authentic ways.

Universal Fans are also eager to see Universal’s Epic Universe open its doors in 2025. Epic Universe will be the largest Universal Park in the United States and second globally, just behind the upcoming Universal Studios Beijing. It reportedly will house at least three significant intellectual properties: entries from DreamWorks Animation, Illumination (the makers of Despicable Me and the new The Grinch), however, that is currently speculative, and Nintendo, which will anchor the whole theme Park.
