Super Nintendo World's Hidden Pikmin Rumors - Universal Studios ParksNews

[@ThemeParkStop]

What video game would you turn into a ride?

[@JustAnotherBoringTeen]

I would turn super smash bros into a ride

[@vampiredragon9925]

Pokémon

[@joshuaclark8829]

(Semi) Relaistically, Metroid - Men in Black style If I had my way, F-Zero - itll never happen but thatd be a fun coaster

[@KevinGamingChannelYT]

Hello Happy Thanksgiving And Happy Holiday I Hope You Are Having A Wonderful Weekend And Nice Video

[@proudnerd9982]

Kingdom Hearts, Five Nights At Freddy's, or Cuphead

[@tessjannelle8824]

Universal really nailed it partnering with Nintendo. The possibilities are endless.

[@JD-iu6rv]

I would love to see hidden Pikmin in the park. Maybe even a hidden Olimar and Dolphin

[@soilder_of_allah]

As someone who played pikmin as a kid, I would love that

[@KathySage234]

That could be in the DK Expansion.

[@FAD1010]

Zelda is an absolute must! Pokémon makes sense. How about a haunted house ride based on Luigi's Mansion, a Star Fox simulator, a Smash Bros. stunt show, and a Metroid dark ride!

[@bigman5823]

yo i’d kill for a luigi’s mansion and zelda themed area

[@keisen5876]

Yo I thought of Zelda and Pokemon but a Dark Ride based of Lugi's Mansion would be amazingg!

[@RG-FNR]

I know that it's not the most popular Nintendo franchise, but a Starfox ride could be amazing. Something where you get into an Arwing and have the ride move/flip around while looking at a screen that makes you feel like you're in an epic space battle.

[@Angie2343]

YES! Especially after the success of Smugglers Run in Galaxy's Edge! Univrsal could use the SAME technology, albeit with a larger cabin size. (Read this in Alicia's voice.)

[@paulaabelenda5867]

I love this! Because Pikmin isn't as big as Mario, Pokémon or even Zelda, I never expected the franchise to appear inside the theme park. Thankfully, Miyamoto or whoever was behind this idea found a clever way to include Pikmin inside the theme parks, without spending billions of dollars creating another section.

[@kevinbhieey9188]

Fun! BTW, it just dawned on me why they "may" be saying "Early 2021". While fairly unpredictable, cherry blossom season is always predicted to start in mid--to-late-March. It's the most-popular tourism season, and even if many of us won't be allowed to see them, they're still popular with the Japanese. With popular spots in Osaka, Kyoto and many surrounding areas, I wouldn't be surprised to see Universal try to take advantage of this season.

[@soulripper31]

It opens on the 21st of February 2021.

[@IVwall4551]

To be honest this could be a teaser for a pikmin theme park which could have a few rides and something similar to the power up bracelet and maybe they can include a cave which holds a attraction or a ride similar to the caves feature from pikmin 2

[@rottenhamme]

imagine if they gave ypu a whistle if ypu had a photo of a pikmin that you would use to have the pikmin follow you around

[@rottenhamme]

i was gonna fix the spelling mistakes but editing it will remove the heart

[@Angie2343]

Too complicated.

[@jonathanwallis3300]

Theme Park Stop I would LOVE to see Universal add an interactive A.R dark ride based off of the “Super Mario” Games! (Specifically “Super Mario 3D World.”) I would want the ride vehicles to actually be “body suit” ride vehicles (like we seen in early patent blueprints) to REALLY make you feel like you stepped into a “Super Mario” game, and playing as the role of Mario. Also, depending on how many times you have ridden it, each rider will experience a completely different world stage (“Grass Hills”, “Underground,” “Boo Hose”, etc) per ride. There would also be more enemies around you with every new stage you go through. This will be made possible with the augmented reality glasses, which would be used to reflect one or more surrounding enemies, power ups, and coins. The glasses would also project different scenic environments that match the physical sets and moving objects within each show scene. Sort of like what they did with the “Runaway Railway” ride at Disney, where they transitioned from the jungle to the ocean, but the projections are viewed from the riders glasses. The story of the attraction would be about Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach (of course) during a celebration in the mushroom kingdom. However Bowser ALSO kidnaps Mario as well, to try to destroy him once and for all. But Wait! Without Mario being able to rescue the princess, whose going to save them now...YOU ARE! That’s right, YOU will be playing the role of Mario in this attraction, with Luigi guiding you on every stage. Guests have a chance to go through 1 out of 9 possible stages per ride. These stages include: #1,Grassy Hills. #2, Underground. #3, Desert. #4, Snow. #5, Underwater. #6, Jungle. #7, Boo House. #8, Outer Space. and #9, Bowser’s Castle. At the end of every ride, there would be a boss battle you would have to defeat in order to progress to the next stage (when you ride it again of course). If you fail to defeat the boss, you will repeat the same stage again the next time you ride, until you defeat him. The power bands will be able to inform the ride system on what stage environment the guest would experience on the ride. So far I am calling the ride “Super Mario A.R Bros.” And I would want to be located within Orlando’s Super Nintendo World. What do you think Theme Park Stop? Please share your comment with me! I Really would like to hear your reaction/opinion.

[@rattyeely]

This is huge news, Pikmin is the first non-Mario IP in Super Nintendo World! This means that the floogates are open to slip all sorts of Nintendo properties into the land, and it's exciting that Pikmin, a relatively obscure game, is getting a theme park presence. Feels like Smash Bros...

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Oh man, I’d love to see a Pokémon land. One themed to either Unova or Kalos. Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, a gym leader, roaming Pokémon, it would be perfect

[@thesupercrook]

Oh Pikmin? This is feeling like Nintendoland...

[@naxstro4721]

i forgot about that game

[@turtleturtleturtleturtle]

are the power-up packs different from each other? for example Yoshi's power-up band will give you a bonus in Yoshi's adventure or Mario can collect more coins or something?

[@ThemeParkStop]

They will all act the same regardless of the design.

[@turtleturtleturtleturtle]

@@ThemeParkStop ok thx

[@butters8832]

Are we able to keep them once we leave the park? I’d love to get and keep the Yoshi one!

[@turtleturtleturtleturtle]

@@butters8832 you pay for them so they probably won't take them

[@BroskiStudios]

Pikmin is my favortie game ever. You have NO clue how happy this makes me.

[@Mokujo]

Imagine if they hid tiny life-sized Pikmin statues around like hidden Mickeys omg

[@maxduif4728]

i like how you can actually already see the pikmins at 2:41 a bit left of the 1-up mushroom (with the red block between them), hard to see but definetly there

[@nakkari100]

Why Alicia is not planing real theme parks? They could really hire you and then tell all secrets to us

[@sergiotorresaragon7673]

What about a Nintendo themed theater that shows the Pikmin shorts? (Maybe in 3-D)

[@sprucebadger8229]

so this theme park is basically saying "the future is now, old people"

[@wolftamer8318]

Everyone’s talking about how cool it would be to have a Zelda or Pokémon theme. While I think that would be pretty awesome, there’s one series in particular that I would love to see come to the park. Please don’t judge me, but I’d personally love to see a Splatoon portion come to the park. I mean, I’d love to walk around Inkopolis, play some virtual Turf Wars, buy Splatoon themed merch, and maybe even ride a Splatoon themed ride. Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?

[@kyogresfunchannel]

Pokémon hands down

[@DACStudiosCo]

i mean, its called Super *Nintendo* Land so attractions or land expansions can be other IPs like Pikmin

[@daniexists6]

So.... it's not a rumor. It's a cold hard fact now.

[@ThemeParkStop]

Whoop whoop! And there are so many physical Pikmin in the land too!!! So many!

[@UndeadNerdT800]

I wanna see a pikmin ride PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[@jacob1228-v1u]

I just want Nintendo to opening a Nintendo Hollywood store since Super Nintendo world is opening in Universal Studios Hollywood.

[@peaceteez]

I desperately want a pokemon theme park 😫 it's been a childhood dream of mine for the longest time

[@RhythmGrizz]

I just figured pikmin would be like the hidden mickys of Super Nintendo World

[@ThemeParkStop]

That's what I was thinking too, but there are some credible rumors that suggest they may be part of the interactive experiences as well.

[@RhythmGrizz]

@@ThemeParkStop that would be awesome

[@nickellfrancis1128]

Wow this is prefect for universal studios Japan thanks Alicia Stella 💚💚

[@KevinGamingChannelYT]

@Theme Park Stop Hello Happy Thanksgiving And Happy Holiday I Hope You Are Having A Wonderful Weekend And Nice Video

[@chubbs2067]

As a diehard Nintendo and Mario fan, I wish I understood why all the merchandise says “whose cap?”. My only guess is it’s just a weird Japanese translation/phrase, but I haven’t seen anything online of people deciphering it yet.

[@ThemeParkStop]

In anticipation of the land opening, this introductory merchandise is to get people excited about getting a Mario hat. It is “Who’s cap?” Not “whose cap.” As in Who’s hat is this? “It’s mine!” as some of the merch also says. That hat is mine. The Peach branded items say “Who’s crown?” “It’s mine!” These items are meant to excite us to become our favorite characters, as we prepare to enter their world. And, yea, English on Japanese merchandise doesn’t have to make too much sense, as long as it looks good. But, believe me, there was actually a point to it lol.

[@chubbs2067]

@@ThemeParkStop That would make sense, but all of the pictures and articles I see online all say “whose cap.”

[@ThemeParkStop]

OMG you’re right! Must be a weird translation then?

[@gnux]

But... "Whose cap?" is correct in the english language if they are trying to say what Alicia explained. "Who's cap?" means "who is cap?". So the translation is appropriate.

[@ThemeParkStop]

My bad! You’re right

[@vampiredragon9925]

I really hope the one in California opens next year

[@Emplordxiii]

Seeing the current progress, it’s opening in 2022. Aside from the hills, none of the facades have been built.

[@coherentpanda7115]

No way it is opening next year.

[@Angie2343]

Although not Nintendo, I'd build a companion SEGA-themed park right nearby. Entrance is a Warp Ring Chili dogs and other fast foods being served at the real-life Chuck's Chili Dogs Mobotropolis area (HUGE!) Meeting the Blue Blur (and his family and friends) Green Hill roller coaster Monitors to pound with your fist A "castle" stage show similar to Sonic Live in Sydney but BETTER. At the grand opening, Jaleel White is there!

[@kennyv47]

I love Pikmin :D

[@rmannayr2129]

UNIVERSAL NAILED IT WITH NINTENDO!

[@gorilli09]

When are we getting a Zelda-themed area.

[@KrispyRodent]

They just here Let them be

[@Haileypayne0]

Guess what they are hidden Pikmin around the Park you just have to go everywhere the find them

[@exotic5904]

What about sonic? I want a sonic land with a sonic ride like pandora for a roller coaster where he goes fast 😎

[@rmannayr2129]

PIKMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gregmartell1235]

Don t forget abort Magic bands by Disney = Power-Up band

[@tylerkennedy1995]

Ok, since Universal are already really nailing Super Nintendo World by partnering with Nintendo, the Disney Parks need to do the same with Kingdom Hearts and Square Enix.

[@Toonman_the_loony1930]

😶, is that a yoshi band? If it’s real, I NEEED ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!

[@naxstro4721]

just cost about 30$

[@Toonman_the_loony1930]

😶 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@_._.Nobody_._.]

I wanna see some thing for splatoon seeing that my other favorite nintendo series is in the park.

[@jodiwilson2822]

Watch TDR exploers video

[@StorybookAmusement]

As much as I personally love Pikman, I don't think this is a slam dunk. Pokémon is probably the best franchise for something like this with a wide audience in mind, but Nintendo fans might appreciate little things like collecting KONG letters found in Donkey Kong or something like that. ... or have a bounce house filled with a bunch of foam sledgehammers and just theme it to Super Smash Bros. That'll be fun for the kiddos!

[@paulaabelenda5867]

Why isn't this a "slam dunk"? Because it's not Pokémon? Well, there were rumors about an entire new section of the park to be Pokémon themed, therefore, it's not unlikely we will see in the future Pokémon attractions. These cameos with Pikmin won't stop other bigger franchises to get their own theme park section. Specially big franchises like Pokémon.

[@StorybookAmusement]

If the area opened without Pikmin, it wouldn’t really be missing anything. Something like wands in Harry Potter is a no-brainer, but Pikmin in a Mario area seems nice, just not a knockout idea. That said, I would definitely welcome it and look forward to any Nintendo coming to Universal. And I have no worries about Pokémon coming. 😊

[@estebanswan]

I'm hoping for a AR Splatoon game where you can compete to "Paint" the whole land.

[@eternalmood1846]

When this comes to America, I’m crossing my fingers that all of this is coming with. Especially Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge (probably getting changed to Bowser’s Challenge.)

[@tekikun4631]

I just hope it improves overseas and exclusive features in hollywood

[@Kmonroe445]

I wanna see a Pokémon theme park I think there was one

[@jj2572]

Sonic and Kirby have a lot of lasting appeal, I could see rides for either of them being fun

[@coherentpanda7115]

Sega needs to license Sonic for a looping launch coaster.

[@UndeadNerdT800]

I love pikmin

[@kevintann75]

Super Mario World is cool

[@leftblank]

Pikmin 3 is the best game on switch. Don’t @ me

[@okayokey]

@LeftBlank it is. Well, one of the best.

[@smashbrosguyt915]

Olimario

[@thedarkbaby]

the switch game is so cool, would luv to see world size perspective plays too :3 omg yes ty 4 sharing

[@ryanroscoe673]

The world needs Pokemon

[@tessjannelle8824]

Alicia please stop hinting at the possibility of a Pokémon land😭 My heart can't handle it
