Do You NEED a Super Nintendo World Power-Up Band? Here's What You Should Know

[@jameshype8131]

Yes!! It would be great if you could redeem, points for physical Super NINTENDO World items. Like other places do exchange tickets for prices.

[@jeanettesmith765]

You already have to pay admission to the park and then have to pay another $40 for the wristband. That is not cool, in my opinion.

[@magazinekirby]

Yeah at that point it gets pricier than even Disney

[@rachm8072]

For me personally it’s worth it as you can use it in other parks as well. To be honest it’s definitely necessary in Japan as they have note block rock, bombom kaboom room and the slot machine where Hollywood is quite small in comparison.

[@grtsngravy0758]

I went last Friday and got a Mario band. I lost it by the end of the day because the bracelet part is horrible. I had to report it to Lost & Found. They miraculously found my band and returned it to me by mail. Just wish the band was like the Disneyland Magic Bands. Those are more like a regular watch band that clips on.

[@ronalburgos3855]

Exactly my thoughts yesterday March 15th 2023 we went with my sister, I got the yoshi band and she got the toad band and yes I see how easily you could lose it. :(

[@bowser1299]

Definitely a Mario Band. Wish they had a Bowser one

[@DarielSilveiro]

not having a Bowser band is a crime

[@angeljackson9507]

Peach of course! Going Saturday!!!❤

[@FedID-NotSure]

I'm so glad i looked this up before i went, i for one won't be getting the bands. Just doesn't seem worth it. I thought the coins would be redeemable, i mean at least like a discount in shops and dining areas. Like a 1, 2 or 5% one time discount for high scorers. How much of loss financially would that be, to not even offer something like that.

[@lefteyezoro]

Daisy for me

[@masonnie9694]

I have the gold one ($54)

[@chrissyfloyd]

I’m gonna get the Yoshi one.

[@DavidVaughn]

Jason wants that one, too!

[@chrissyfloyd]

@@DavidVaughn I wish they had some with the bad guys too. 😆

[@kyungandmichael4582]

Do you know if people are re-selling their bands? I guess it depends on whether it's re-programmable to a new account/profile?

[@DavidVaughn]

I haven’t heard of anyone reselling their old one. But you can unlink it from your account

[@marmario259]

My name speaks for itself

Hii 0:51

[@sandybelle5271]

I will be buying princess peach my daughter and I want Luigi 🙂

[@DavidVaughn]

I love seeing a Luigi fan!

[@Lesbosac]

Im Disappointed that they dont have the Bowser Power Band

[@DavidVaughn]

They should make one!

[@deezworld2098]

Not getting one till wario or Waluigi get one

[@rogertiempo8213]

[@arthuraraujo258]

Geez, you already pay a high price for admission and potentially an extra $30 if you get Early Access. Besides you'll most likely buy merch. That should be enough for you to get 100% of the experience, having to pay an extra $40 for this wrist band is ridiculous.

[@theheroneededwillette6964]

40 bucks though.

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

I got the gold Mario power up band at USJ. It was totally worth it. Truly that's the way the park was designed to be accessed, otherwise you're just waiting in lines for the rides or spending money at the shops. I wish I had more time; after collecting the keys the park was closing and I didn't have an opportunity to go to Bowser Jr. My timed entry to Nintendo World was at 5pm, so two hours is definitely not enough time to visit the area.

[@justinanderson6287]

Aww jealous you got the gold one! Wish they did that in Hollywood or had a way to buy them online.

[@Alex-rr7su]

In my opinion it ain't that worth it for 40 dollar plus tax but that's just my opinion I agree with everyone opinions here

[@operator0017]

Mario for me and the princess for the wife

[@JaimeeRae]

Nintendo World looks soo cool & FUNN! ✨🏰🍄🐢♥️

[@Jal0930]

Does anyone know if these are reusable. By that I mean can I give/sell/loan my used power up band and someone else sync it to their app and use it?

[@DiGGy539]

Yes I watched another video and she said she borrowed a friend’s band who had been before.

[@arikat007]

Can you share a band? Everyone take turns with one band? Will they let your whole group into Bowser? Also do you have to complete the challenge in one day? We are going for two days

[@aznprince8517]

Just went to universal studios. To see Mario world. I think the power up band is an interesting idea but once you leave the area it’s useless. So I just bought a t shirt and toadstool 🍄 hat for souvenirs.

[@A.piece.of.fur123]

If you have a switch (me), it can be used as an ammibo

[@Lookatthiscoolrock]

I can’t afford the power band guess I’ll cancel my ticket

[@SophiaBodtmann]

Do I need the app for the power up band to work?

[@mattmobilee]

Can my family link multiple wristbands with just one phone and one app?

[@jozjawsjawz]

You can link multiple accounts per app! Me and my little sister both only use my phone, each band chooses their own player name, pose, and background

[@Kovu1224]

I'd either get Yoshi or Toad

[@kellymiddleton7888]

I’ll get yoshi

[@DavidVaughn]

I love that one

[@bradchin7746]

Does this band work in Universal Japan?

[@bradchin7746]

The good part is the bands do work in Japan too. And the bands are cheaper in Japan because of the exchange rate. Finally, Mario World in Japan is bigger than the one here. The kart ride is longer too with better AR hats.

[@karenstagliano1217]

Would someone be able to do the Boss Battle (the one at 2:20 in this video) if they didn't have a power up band? I don't mean the part about earning the key, but could you do anything physically to just have fun? We bought power up bands at preview last weekend, but the line for the battle was too long, and one of my friends is asking what things they couldn't do if they didn't buy a band

[@DavidVaughn]

The Bowser Jr. Boss Battle has a scanner at the front of the attraction where guests tap their power-up bands. If you’ve completed all 3 it will grant you entry. However, if you don’t have a band or haven’t completed all the tasks, ask the Team Member at the front of the experience if you can enter anyway. Depending on space you may be able to

[@itsmegabi95]

In Hollywood, yes you can enter without a power-up band. In Osaka, the app states that you'll need the band only for the key challenges, and as fo the Mario Kart attraction, it doesn't say anything about it so my guess is that yes, the band won't be a requirement to enter :)

[@RPGFlare64]

I’m getting the Luigi band I mean it is obvious since I am a huge fan of Luigi

[@MelysLoilipop]

I thought you were going to say: since I’m the little brother 😅

[@RPGFlare64]

@@MelysLoilipop No WAY I JUST LOVE LUIGI Ok?

[@Ernest7]

I would get youshi band

[@DavidVaughn]

I like that one!

[@RavenclawR70]

I would totally get one once Epic Universe opens, it reminds me of the interactive wands in the Wizarding World, I've always had one rule going to the Universal Parks, if you're not gonna immerse yourself in Super Nintendo World or the Wizarding World, then that's not a perfect day at Universal.

[@marinoymir6802]

Toad

[@FatalArcana]

Gonna get a Luigi band and turn it into Waluigi

[@anthonyyaboytone5]

Thanks keep the videos coming!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@scottly801]

Did you guys know that there is a golden power up band as an exclusive.

[@DavidVaughn]

It looks so cool! That came out after I made this video

[@seanpatterson4177]

Then they cost $40 each

[@michellegreuel2605]

Can we connect more than one band to the app? For example, as a family of 4 with two kids who don’t have their own phones, can we connect their bands to my app as well?

[@aloeandhe4432]

Yes you can. Scan the bands to the one phone and set your character.

[@shackob.9607]

Have 3 kids. Just buy one.. to much waste of money for 3 hours😅

[@justinanderson6287]

3 hours? I think you’re severely underestimating it.. We spent over 8 hours in there, lol. My son was like a kid in a candy store and I had a blast reliving nostalgic childhood memories. The bands are totally worth it given how much money most people are already spending on tickets, flights and hotels assuming they’re on vacation, etc. What’s an extra $40 on top of 2k? But I only have one kid.. 3 definitely puts more of a strain on your budget.

[@godzora1128]

When it opens on the Grand opening will the Power-Bands get cheaper?

[@DavidVaughn]

I don’t think so. I think that’s just the price

[@sabambamm]

What are the digit coins useful for?

[@its_me_sam9226]

They have no use
