Super Nintendo World Early Access | Universal Studios Hollywood

Super Nintendo World is now open at Universal Studios Hollywood. I purchased the early access tickets which is $25 per person and we got into the Super Nintendo World Theme park at 6:45am on Sunday Feb. 26, 2023. We were able to go to the Mario Kart Bowser Challenge twice and the wait time was only less than 10 minutes early on. The line in Toadstool Cafe was also short so we were able to try their menus.
I recommend purchasing the early access especially when you plan to visit on the weekend to avoid long lines. You get to enter the theme park at 7am, which is 1 hour before it opens. For family traveling or driving a little bit far I recommend staying at Hilton Hotel Universal. It's less than 10 minute walk to and from the hotel and they also have free shuttle ride that starts as early as 6:30am.

Loved your video! Thanks for sharing this :) random question, but can you buy the power bands as soon as early access opens up?

[@tataytinapay]

Thank you. Yes, you can buy at the store right after the entrance or at the store inside the super nintendo world

[@HeyIsmando]

@@tataytinapay Much appreciated!

Hi! Do you need to make a reservation for the land one your in the park even if you have early access?

[@tataytinapay]

no reservation needed. Although they will let you in 1 hour before the park opens with early access, they may open the gate a little bit earlier like in our case, the park opened at 8AM but the park was already opened when we got there at 6:45am.

Hi i have the go-city pass for three days that include universal. Do you know if the early pass worth for me?

[@tataytinapay]

If you plan to go early especially on the weekend, i would highly recommend bec there’s less crowd and shorter wait times. They now have a virtual line reservation once you’re in the park to control the crowd going inside at certain times which is also another option

[@akinoj8229]

Would you say early access was was worth it? Also what time did you guys get to the park? Trying to plan for when I go in a few months! 😊

[@tataytinapay]

Definitely worth it for $25 especially if you’re planning to go on a weekend. The early pass lets you in 1 hour before the theme park opens at 8am. They actually let us in at 6:45am. The mario kart bowser’s challenge wait time was only 10 minutes when we got there so we went in twice. By 8am, wait time was 90 minutes and the line going in the super nintendo world got really long. We also didn’t wait going into the Toadstool Cafe.

​@tataytinapay when you say entry 6:45a you mean entry time from the front gate entry... or you mean entry into mario world @645a

[@tataytinapay]

@@aytao1950 entry from the gate. There were already people inside once we got in the park and entered the super nintendo world, the bowser challenge ride was already 15 min wait. I gues it depends on the day, although the early pass is 7a-8a, they let people in early that day

[@MarcyLo]

Hi! I just bought the early access add on & I was wondering if it would even be worth it… your video gave me such VALIDATION! I’m so excited! TY

[@tataytinapay]

yes, especially if you're going on the weekend. the early access lets you in 1 hour before the park opens. the park was scheduled to open at 8am, we got there at the gate at 6:45am and they were already letting people in. we rode the Mario kart bowser challenge twice and also got in the toad pool restaurant with no long line. at 8am, the wait time in Mario Kart bower's challenge was already 95 minutes and the line entering the Super Nintendo world got really long by 9am.

@@tataytinapay hi when you say gate at 6:45 do you mean entrance to Hollywood or entrance to the Nintendo land? Wondering what time they’ll let us into the park if our early access to Mario starts at 8am. Thank you!

[@tataytinapay]

@@viperonfire2006 entrance to Universal Studios Hollywood. They open at 8am on weekends and the early access lets you in at 7am, somehow that day they were letting people earlier than 7a.

[@tataytinapay]

@@viperonfire2006 entrance to hollywood. early access to Mario starts 1 hour before the park scheduled opening hours

[@chubbsgaming-_-8615]

what was the wait time for toadstool?

[@tataytinapay]

We didn't have a wait time at Toadstool coz we went in early maybe around 8am. They don't have a reservation but during peak hours, they usually give you like a stub showing a time frame to come back and fall in line to control people going in.

[@llamas0156]

What time were you able to get into parking?

[@tataytinapay]

We actually stayed at Hilton Universal City. But I saw cars going to the parking structure next to the park as esrly as 6:30am

[@pattilb1211]

How was that even possible??

[@tataytinapay]

The park opens at 8am on weekends and the early pass lets you in 1 hour before it opens to avoid long lines. We were at the gate at 6:45am and they were already letting people in.

[@pattilb1211]

@@tataytinapay that's so great! The early passes were already sold out for our trip. Hopefully it won't be all waiting in line!!
