I love the animation style they went for when explaining the rules of the attraction.

Correct

[@gferrol118]

I love that they've brought his paintbrush back. It seemed like they had completely forgot about it after sunshine, but now it's in both Bowsers fury, and this

[@Julayla]

All those portraits in there were great when you're entering. The ones with Bowser Jr. as a baby and newborn especially. They're so adorable.

[@Angie2343]

Do you think Peach IS Bowser Jr.'s mother?

[@Pixelcraftian]

Predicting it now: One day there's gonna be a day called "The Ultimate Sprite Rip" where somebody actually manages to rip the sprites/videos from Super Nintendo Land.

[@drdespair3651]

Knowing the internet, someone will somehow make that happen

no omments when 40likes?

[@gameplayxtreme3389]

In case anyone here didn't know: In order to even acces this boss, you have to collect 3 key coins in several minigames in the land. It's an actual game.

[@lordanieltheevildarklord3369]

I know it makes it wayyyyy better

[@Angie2343]

Just like ANY video game you've EVER played.

dang, this one looks pretty good. I like how it starts off super chill then descends into complete chaos the moment jr. shows up.

[@liaml1694]

I can't NOT cry every time I see Super Nintendo World, I'm such a nerd.

[@mrzeegamez]

This is such an incredible concept! And for those like me who have to wait for it to be built in the states, just keep in mind that by the time they're able to build/open it, they'll probably have several new ideas they'll implement in along with it, so we might get some fresh stuff.

[@Yoshim045]

So, this is technicly a final boss... so who’s going to do the first any% speedrun of Super Nintendo World? Its simple: goal is to beat the shadow showdown as fast as possable, glitchless (like you can preform those anyway...), the line wait times can be cut out of the overall time, the preshow of the shadow showdown does count toward the timer tho...

[@BeefBoss2010]

@The Lonely Proto you turn the internet off so it can still play then you turn it back on at the end to a 0.1% run

[@christiant.-sg7719]

I would love to go here. The park looks awesome!

[@CyberChamp]

I really enjoy the gimmick of going around to find keys to be able to enter. It might help a lot with wait times.

Juniors Theme in the minigame SLAPS HARD

[@birdnipples]

If this place goes out of business sometime in the future can this Bowser Jr statue be my headstone 0:14

[@JackPlaysNintendo]

ok nice WOW

[@everydaynoob1]

This looks like a very cool show

[@larskahn]

This is surreal

[@jorgecoqui19]

The insignia on Bowser Jr's paint brush doesn't have Professors E Gadd emblem on it anymore (it's also present in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury) Does this mean Boswer Jr recreated one for himself?

[@JacobNintendoNerd99]

He just modified the E Gadd one after Morton brought it out of storage. In Bowser Jr’s Journey in the Bowser’s Inside Story remake they explain this, he lost the paintbrush for several years and then Morton rediscovered it somewhat by accident when they had to escape the castle from Fawful. At some point Bowser Jr replaced E Gadd’s logo with his own emblem, as we see in Bowser’s Fury

[@ThePlushLuigiBros2018]

It's...beautiful...

[@maxwellrochette9646]

Looks rad

[@campbellphoenix7662]

I just saw a painting of Bowser Jr using Goombas as stilts and equipped with paper horns and claws to form a fake Bowser shadow.

[@gferrol118]

I don't know how on earth they did this, but it's super cool

[@BrerOswald]

Simmering Lava Lake from 3D World? Bowser Jr's Fort from Galaxy 2? Bowser Jr battle theme from NSMBWii? And is that Jr's Galaxy Motif I hear at the end? They picked some great music tracks and did them very well.

[@aguyonyoutubewhoisofnosign8373]

They done did right!

[@knuclear200x]

0:10 Click timestamp to see something that never exists in any theme park

[@aguyonyoutubewhoisofnosign8373]

I see they brought back the paintbrush! I know it was in Bowsers Fury, but this is one of those times when Jrs. paintbrush felt obscure! Which in my opinion, it wasn’t very well known until the port for 3D World came out. Along with It’s side game, Bowsers Fury!
