Guide to Super Nintendo World in Japan! (Ft. New DONKEY KONG Area)

[@seerasan]

Who else is a big Nintendo fan?!! ❤ This is the final video from the December series (a little delayed!) I LOVEE this section of Universal Studios 😍 I will definitely be making more trips back (with friends) this year!!

[@octeight7977]

I had the Japanese import Gameboy when it first launched, interesting working out the text on games! Then went on to the SNES and N64. Magical times.

[@petercullum1374]

have you visited super potato in tokyo @seerasan load sof rerto games there eben got nintendo vb on desplay

[@Brendalpz]

Universal JP is my fav theme park. I want to check out DK so bad. It's my favorite childhood game. Thanks @seerasan very cute video ❤

[@stephanieok5365]

Still waiting on a Zelda area 🙏

[@vinja858]

Me! Are you gonna get a Switch 2? You should try Twitch streaming gameplay vids

[@eriklotshaw]

3:05 you got your Chris Broad moment

[@RithSV]

Exactly my thoughts hahah

[@mashameow9022]

Came to the comments just for this :D

[@justincosplay]

Hahaha was just gonna comment this

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

The only way it would have been perfect would have been if she was coming out of a door when she was asked it X'D

[@chrisbridges7408]

I went as a solo traveller in November. The staff were so friendly, they kept commenting about my toad watch and their love of toad. I didn’t feel out of place at all. Can’t wait to go back.

[@soppspopps2364]

This brought back so many memories ❤ I travelled solo around Japan in 2023 and visited here on my own and Seerasan couldn't be anymore right, the staff are so accommodating and put the effort in to make you feel comfortable 😊

[@tionis6814]

I travelled around Japan for 3 weeks on my own a few years back and although sometimes it can feel a little awkward and lonely, it's SUCH a good thing for you building your self esteem and confidence in yourself ❤️ so glad you've done this Seera! 🤗

[@ghezalA]

Sarah I went to USJ solo back in September 2024! Couldn't wait for my friends to wake up early (got there before opening bc I heard you can enter Nintendo World without a timed entry) and it was such a fun experience. Tried the yakisoba as you did and took advantage of that single rider line. Was a little awkward waiting in line with a bunch of children in order to punch the ? boxes but hey, it is what it is!

[@llm-reacts]

I loved Donkey Kong as a kid! This looks so fun!

[@eunhyuekpark6159]

This is going on the list for sure when I head over to Japan. Thx so much for the tour.

[@benward2270]

Thanks so much for this! I’m also going for a solo trip to USJ and this video has made me a little more comfortable!

[@rainere130]

Very nice video and great timing 👍. I happened to watch the Mario movie last weekend 😅.

[@TheDarkKnightsy]

Really cool that you gave a single person perspective on this. Have never done a theme park by myself, so once again, thank you👍🏻

[@vonplus00]

That star bucket is really cool, but that jumper was also cute. The park decoration looks amazing!!! it looks like being inside a video game!!!

[@NeedsMorePete]

I hit up USJ as a solo traveller in mid-November last year. I didn’t have any qualms beforehand about it, but the staff there were all super friendly (as they are everywhere!) and I had an amazing time that I’ll never forget. Having owned the original NES when I was younger and every Nintendo console since, the area is a must-see for fans of the games, and like you said - do not scrimp and get that timed entry ticket to guarantee admission to the area!

[@colinmathie2710]

A Sarah video, one of the highlights of my week 👍🏻

[@kamanama3671]

I’m truly glad this day made you happy❤

[@raphaeldejesus5013]

Another banger video 👌 the Star Popcorn Bucket is a major flex like you could literally wear that out if you wanted to lol

[@AUCKata]

I remember going on that Mario Kart ride. Felt like I was waiting in that line for about 2 hours. I also bought one of those red and green mushroom head bands 😄 Awesome to hear about the new DK area of the park. I wanted to go back to USJ when I go back to Japan so will def have to check it out. Another fun video Sarah ❤

[@RamisesRayla]

I saw your new video today about Super Nintendo World in japan.. It's very nice place for the whole family. I wish I have an opportunity to went in japan.. To see that place.. I like your video. Always you take care.. ☺️👍

[@mcgoo721]

DK is my go to in mario kart 64 and mario party 😂. Of all the theme parks, nintendo world is the one I'd want to go to for sure

[@alexisonfireagain]

I bought the star popcorn bucket for my wife and she now uses it as a handbag!! And gets alot of comments 😂We spent so much money there!!! Worth it 😂😂

[@seerasan]

LOVE that!! Best handbag 😂

[@billhendricks3143]

Brilliant!! And yes I appreciated it being a party of one!! 💪🏼

[@ulomeli079]

So Awesome !!!!! I'm an addict lol I still have my NES the only games I have are Mario 1, 2 and 3 of course with duck hunt and the original donkey Kong. Japan always goes all out ! It looks amazing

[@dakota11872]

I've gone to theme parks solo while traveling now several times. It was definitely a balance to not feel too awkward, but I made the most out of it! I don't know if I could do it in the US though.

[@michaelaskew6025]

Superb vlog and I adore Nintendo.🥰💚🌱

[@Bloodworia]

Of course you do, they literally invented throwing balls at digital animals and nobody is allowed to replicate that. Patent filed 2024.

[@fusionor]

I went solo too back in April 2023. I had gotten a fast pass deal through Klook so I didn't have to rush in to get into the lottery. I've done USJ twice solo and it was fun each time. The advantage is the single person line that is way shorter. You can technically do it if you're with a friend but they might split you in a separate ride.. I can't wait to go back for the Dong Kong area.

[@williamleveritech9882]

looks like fun! It was nice to hear you speak more japanese in this video!

[@boegadi]

I really enjoyed the DK area and the ride. We left Japan the 13th of December so I was lucky they planned opening day just in time for us. The DK crush sundae was pretty good, the mug/barrel is a nice souvenir as well

[@NoFace89-z6z]

Thanks!

[@seerasan]

That's very kind of you - thank you so much! 🥰

[@Weare138.]

Heading there for the first time next month, can't wait!

[@andrewhuffam3635]

Favourite way to start a Sunday,morning coffee and a new video

[@seerasan]

Have a great Sunday ☺️☕️

[@helvetiqa]

I love my spouse but I also love solo traveling! Not having to worry about what anyone else wants or thinks is so freeing!

[@Zanthulol]

looks super fun! That Yoshi yakisoba looked yummy

[@seerasan]

Yes!! I would get it again for sure 😋💚

[@xxLovelyMango]

Definitely understand how you feel about going to theme parks alone. My first time at Disneyland was by myself and I had a great time but I had a better time when I went with friends. Would I go alone again? Of course. I don’t believe in missing out on things bc no one else will go with you but friends usually make things better 😊

[@Hunikengt]

Thank you for sharing your trip!

[@JustinWatson23]

I'm going to visit in may and i'll be a solo traveller. So glad the staff seem friendly. Plus the single traveller lines. Need some DK stuyff too, that looke awesome.

[@JustShelby888]

I go to Disney World all the time by myself. I live locally and I have an annual pass and I go at least once a week. I love it And our Nintendo world opens up in May here in Orlando. And I’m so excited. I’m hoping they have that popcorn bucket here in America because I’m totally getting that is super cute. ⭐️

[@byghostlight1]

I cant believe the random day I choose to go to USJ when I was over there, ended up being opening day. Hilariously I already had a 0900 express pass entry booked, so by the time I got in there, the place was virtually empty. By the time I was leaving it got crazy busy. The Holiday Gods were on my side that day.

[@seerasan]

That’s so lucky!! 😆

[@garry6882]

hi wanna ask, express pass means including the area timed entry ticket?

[@michaelwhite4608]

Cuteness overload and the theme park looked cool too

[@silverian]

As a gamer this is really nice environment 🙂It's just so nice and magical to look how all those mechanisms move. I know that Theme Parks belong to dating culture (that was something I learned in Seoul). Thank You again from nice and lovely video!

[@TheAllenDiaries]

I wish I had time to go there when I was in Osaka 😣 and it's also too expensive, so I enjoyed watching your vlog to experience the themed park

[@ufgatorbearify]

What a fun day you had. Thanks for bringing us. I love solo theme parking, but I'm a Floridian 😊🐊 We have Florida passes for park entry during all the off months. It's great . When I lived in Orlando, sometimes I'd just walk Islands of Adventure for exercise and people watching. We are finally getting Nintendo World in Orlando this year! Can't wait.

[@ArenaNerd]

Wow that was so cool! I'm really pleased I watched this video 😊😊😊😊😊

[@jonathansakura]

I loved the expansion so glad I live in Japan 😊❤

[@kc24jack]

Love your videos Sarah! watching your videos have helped quell my longing for Japan. I actually bought clothes from Tanuki Studios because of you, can you do another video introducing more local Japanese brands? thank you!

[@matthewhill5726]

Looks like soooo much fun! 😃😃 I went to Universal Florida last year but missed the opening of Nintendo World there (opens later in 2025).

[@GoldHobbit]

Thak you for showing the going solo at theme parks POV! I travel solo a lot and my trip this year is Japan. As much as I wish friends could be there, they won't be: so this gives me reassurance to go alone. Thank you 😊

[@seerasan]

You can do it ☺️💓 enjoy and embrace your solo Japan travels!!

[@kittykitkat7614]

I really want to go there I watch so many videos of people going there and it looks so fun and amazing

[@kitespongan]

Proud of you for going solo! You should try going to the cinema/movie alone if you haven’t already. It’s really nice.

[@seerasan]

I have done the cinema experience solo a few times! If there's a movie I wanna watch and no one else is gonna vibe/down, totally happy to go alone!! In Japan there are tons of people going solo too which is nice :)

[@amandariviera]

We were there on the first day but didn't get in until late. It is probably the best area in the whole park and the ride was awesome, easily top 3 ^_^

[@3brianssolS]

She exploring to Super Nintendo World the ride of Nintendo

[@kitespongan]

The camera work looks really good!

[@jurrassitol15]

I have the Nintendo world star and it was literally the only thing i wanted from there (though i do have regrets not going absolutely bonkers in the stores)…and the star is seriously one of my most favourite things that i bought on that trip. It was also interesting trying to get this back to sydney hahahaha 😂

[@SherringtonBun]

Don't feel awkward about it...your solo vlogs are fantastic...even at theme parks.

[@shane3x]

I surely wasn’t expecting to meet you today at SNW, it’s such an awesome place!

[@seerasan]

Thanks for saying hello! Enjoy Osaka 🌟

[@roxannepursirow9011]

Moi !!!!!! J'ai été très chanceuse ! J'y suis allée le 11 décembre à l'ouverture de Donkey Kong. Je croyais que ce serait l'enfer, mais tout le monde faisait la file pour Donkey Kong. Alors, nous avons fait Yoshi sans attente, MarioKart avec 10 minutes d'attente et le restaurant Kinopio avec 15 minutes d'attente seulement. C'était troooooooooop biennnnn ! :D :D :D

[@LinusBurgerMan]

I love your brown jacket sm but every time you wear it i always think of Leon kennedy 😂

[@Taurusus]

Hey real quick, that jacket rules. Love a high collar. Definitely gotta hit Nintendo world next time we're over there, did USJ for Harry Potter our first trip, this looks like a whole 'nother level!

[@Namidagr]

Got your Chris Broad "Are you KZbinr" moment!

[@JonathanQjapan1990]

I live in Japan and was there 😊

[@グスタフマーラー-d3t]

In Japan, there is also a term called "一人ディズニー(Solo Disney)". This is a term used by young women who want to master Disney experience. I think it's the same at USJ, but there are probably a lot of families, especially on holidays. (I'm using Google Translate, so sorry if my English is weird.)

[@age654]

I waited over 7 hours in the park to get into Mario World, so I was feeling your pain. I’m glad you got an earlier entry to Kinopio's Café!

[@seerasan]

7 hours 😭 I was SO happy I got in earlier haha

[@maxstoner5527]

I was there a month ago with the family from 🇦🇺. It was awesome

[@dorianramirez]

Great video Sarah! Nice to see you using a wired lav mic with your wireless transmitter.

[@seerasan]

Yes! Just picked it up recently & loving it so far :)

[@xm2895]

I gasped when the popcorn fell

[@ゆうや-m3w]

Your mushroom headband looks good!

[@petercullum1374]

Does look fantastic i been to Japan before havnt been universer studios been to America one many years back must go

[@PBandJ25]

I think you missed your calling as a journalist! I can imagine you reporting a story on my nightly news! 😄

[@plushieangela]

saving, so I know what to say when I want to order my own when I visit XD

[@jamesboon6046]

Thnkzs loved the the video!

[@TomDorantes]

We had an amazing time at USJ. I was bummed that we left Japan 4 days before the DK expansion opened. Can’t wait to go back.

[@seerasan]

Next time!! Hopefully they get to opening a Zelda one by then too 🥹

[@TomDorantes]

@ That would be awesome. Japan is going to be an annual trip for me. So much to see and do. My list of places to see and do is pretty extensive and there is a lot of country to explore.

[@ErictheRN]

Absolutely LOVE your Aussie accent :)

[@radish6691]

She doesn’t have an accent, that’s how she speaks. If you think she has an accent then to Australians you’re the one with the accent.

[@Joeylyte]

I've never been one to go to theme parks but this one seems amazing.

[@benrowlands9178]

Great video, cool to see the new DK area. Is there interactive features in DK that you can use the power bands on?

[@seerasan]

Yes there are! I don’t own the power band though which is why I didn’t show it 🥹

[@ericamayumi5694]

My family and specialty my son loves Donk Kong ❤

[@arthurg7894]

Those keychains 😍

[@timoblubb]

Did you notice the little Picmin hiding everywhere? Are they still there or was is a special for the game release? I pointed them out to a japanese familiy as the child was curiously watching what I was taking a picture of. The family then started to try and find all/more of the Picmin and they wanted me to come along. Quite cute :) I enjoyed my time there as well. The biggest problem with solo-traveling is the awkward feeling. Once you get over that is it a lot of fun with a lot of advantages :)

[@Lynbrieofficial]

So cute! But your vlog makes the place more cute

[@jaybee4288]

Doing solo anything really depends on your mindset how you’d feel. I go to the cinema all the time on my own because I love movies and my girlfriend and friends do not want to see as many as I do. I never feel odd because I’m doing it out of choice. I’d feel fine going to a theme park on my own but I just don’t think it would be all that much fun, that’s just more enjoyable with friends.

[@KolonelKoRn]

The Yoshi yakisoba line was also short when we went in November. We thought it was abnormal too! We waited over an hour for the mario kart ride.

[@namenameson8353]

not a fan of squid ink? i would eat a bowl of squid ink as a main - its that good. melanin!

[@fragmentsoflifeau]

Absolutely LOVVEE your videos, thanks for sharing your adventures. Curious, what filming equipment do you use? Were you using a tripod when eating the Yoshi Yakisoba Snack? I really like your filming style. ☺

[@thomasedwards6641]

I went to USJ by myself and it was handy being able to go use the single ride lanes as they were all much faster than the group ones.

[@seerasan]

Even when I’m with friends we still use the single rider - we’re ok being separated if it means less of a line 😆

[@logicalmisery3737]

Love the mushroom headband, lowkey saying "grow up, get a life" lol

[@matthewpateofficial]

Nice video! Also you have the coolest eyes!

[@kankun123]

you are now officially youtuber

[@seerasan]

😂

[@dbl0fluff]

Who says you can’t have fun at any theme park by yourself? You can go and do whatever you want as many times as you want and not have to have a discussion about who wants or doesn’t want to go here or there. Enjoy!😊

[@PamelaGordon-i7j]

That looked good xx

[@sharonsmith9250]

I love going by myself so I can take my time 😊

[@93.v.95]

I’m going to Japan in September for my first time ❤ Who’s going to Japan for your first time?

[@beanoyip06]

I noticed going to a theme alone has its perks. Sometimes you can get on the rides really quickly.

[@sergioin3D]

I can see the cameras blurring effect :b very nice high quality

[@seerasan]

I did all of the blurring in post production myself 🥹 wish my camera had that option hahah

[@GoodChat777]

i love it when sera speaks japanese

[@monotonehell]

0:56 "minecraft" teehee :) Theme parks by yourself is the best.

[@seerasan]

oops lol

[@svenp.8378]

Schöner Stern⭐️

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

I love and hate keychains 😅 I love them but I hate that I ALWAYS end up getting them caught in something and breaking them. I've lost some of my favorite keychains that way 😢 the one I got from Japan broke off but I heard it fall so now it just lives in my car 😅 Much love from Arizona 💜💜

[@thehsushoe]

I also went to Super Nintendo World by myself in my first trip to Japan. I will never forget when I went on the Mario Kart ride, 3 girls had to play rock paper scissors to see who would sit next to me. Ow lmaoo

[@ISeePineapples]

Did you get a new video camera? The colors really pop and the footage is super-clear in this video.

[@seerasan]

Nop, this is my DJI Osmo! I did a bit more colour correction & increased saturation more than usual to make those pretty nintendo colours pop!

[@Luckdragon12]

I'm looking forward to the new US park in Orlando. Nintendo will be part of it, but the rest will be all new stuff unique to the new park. It's opening May 22nd!!! 🎉

[@JDigital123]

Nintendo World needs to add a Kirbyland next!

[@seerasan]

omg yes!!!!

[@ChokingHazaard]

I honestly had not a great time at USJ when I went there in November of last year. I showed up there around 6:30 or 7 am thinking that I was clever for showing up so early, but i had forgotten the japanese passion for queuing up, and had not in fact beaten the crowd. I enjoyed exploring the park and taking advantage of rides having a fairly short wait time because it was so early, and I was excited to see that I had won a pass to enter super nintendo world at 11:30 that's when it started going downhill. The place was incredibly packed, like almost unable to move it was so busy, and the lines for the rides were about 3 hours each, and the was no way I was waiting an indeterminate amount of time to have a meal I probably wouldn't like at toad's cafe (massive aversion to mushrooms which seems like every dish contained). I did the key events and bowser's castle which was fun enough, but i only had a buttered melon pan for breakfast before i got on the train so I was starving. I left the park and checked out the restaurants which also had massive lines and decided i'd go watch the parade down the main street and leave. It started to rain so the parade got shut down, despite it being like 30c or so. The sidewalks (because the road was closed for the parade) became a mass of people so dense it was impossible to move without actually squishing people. It took me half an hour just to get to the gates from where the enterence road splits off to the different parts of the park. I'll be in Osaka in june, and i was considering going again to try to have a better time (and actually get an express pass this time) but i'm still aprehensive.

[@jaybee4288]

Japan is overcrowded with tourists. If you have been before and don’t like the crowds maybe go somewhere else instead rather than keep adding to the problem.

[@ChokingHazaard]

@jaybee4288 Well I went to visit my grandma in Japan because I'm japanese and wanted to check out super nintendo world, so maybe stop making assumptions. I didn't enjoy universal and i'm sorry that triggered you.

[@ChokingHazaard]

@@jaybee4288 I've been going to japan since I was a baby, but because I didn't enjoy my experience at universal I should just stop going?
