[@Boo-gt8gg]

this just casually confirmed a future yoshi meet and greet

[@Catyoshi47]

AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT-

[@lukeigi7261]

I really hope that it will happen. Yoshi is one of my favorite Mario characters and he would be a great character to meet at Super Nintendo world. Hopefully Nintendo & universal aren’t just teasing us

[@UrSammich]

Really hope we can meet Yoshi. Specially since Hollywood has no Yoshi ride. Closest thing to Yoshi is in Mario's Karts pre-que to story. So a Yoshi meet and greet would be perfect

[@AutZentus]

Only if yoshi pays his taxes first.

[@sergiotorresaragon7673]

Possibly a Nintendo themed nighttime spectacular and please bring Pokemon to the Universal Studios theme parks in the U.S.

[@FluttershyJAC13]

They are so Don’t worry takes Time Japan First

[@calebduarte7836]

As a fan of Pokémon I would love for Universal to make a area for Pokémon.

There's a rumor that the now closed Universal Kidszone in Islands of Adventure is going to be turned into a Pokémon themed attraction so.....

[@Burritoslay3r]

I hope they do because i wasnt really impressed by the 1 ride when i went

[@josem7927]

Man if you think about it Mario, Pokemon, and Hello Kitty are Japans heaviest hitters in terms of money

[@LX.Zandaaa62]

And Dragon ball

[@DML897]

The song is actually incredible. The fact that they tied in both Rainbow Road AND the Pokemon Theme song into the No Limit song is ridiculous attention to detail. Also I WANT THOSE LUGIA AND HO-OH PUPPETS LIKE WHAT

[@skunkman9815]

5:51 i love how those performers are dressed as the koopalings

[@PrinceOfKoopas]

I absolutely detest it!

[@ddrlear]

It's amazing how quiet and respectful the crowd is here in comparison to the united states.

[@PurpleDesu]

I honestly just skipped to the Mario and Pokémon section. Those two were the most detailed in the parade! Hoping to see them in august when Pokémon worlds happening

[@Andaluz731]

This was a banger of a parade. Mario and Pokémon did an amazing job with this. PLEASE GIVE US POKÉMON WORLD IN THE UNIVERSAL PARKS

[@ghosty4]

YES PLEASE! Specifically, an official Pokémon Center in California!

[@Brandon_-nr1dw]

I feel like if they ever do a Pokémon theme park at Universal Studios Hollywood I’m sure they would have to expand the park at the lower lot for sure

[@DeadmanInc336]

​@@ghosty4 maybe an expansion based on Unova since that region is based on the United States.

[@jen9647]

I've never seen a parade with Mario and Pokemon and it completely made me cry. 😭 Childhooood

"This party's got NO LIMIT!!!"

[@1upgamer959]

6:18 You can hear SNES Rainbow road music and item box shuffling.

[@nematodes23]

I'm pretty sure that's SNES Mario Circuit

[@JoeDaBoi]

​@@nematodes23 yep

[@melltenfys]

Man, the people working on these are really great. From the planning to execution, ppl who produced it to people who are there on the floor... Really well worked on.

[@Carbabydoll]

Even Japan Universal Studios is amazing. These entertainers know how to entertain💖🥰💗

[@Sergioshi_]

They even kept the lore for Lemmy and Larry Koopa being jumpers lol

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

It's so Perfect 😢 I love how they implemented Super Mario Kart Music and the Pokemon theme into the soundtrack!

[@dreamcatcher478]

I was there, very lucky to have the parade. Enjoyed with my family too. Thanks USJ.

[@jhw9819]

This is the best parade I have ever seen!!

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

You know, if Universal needs a replacement for Superstar Parade, they could bring this here, just replace the Peanuts gang and Sesame Street characters (since they don’t own the theme park rights to them in the US) with SpongeBob and keep Mario and Pikachu

[@CardboardSliver]

They need to release this song

[@yaekokiriyama]

But sadly, Universal Studios Japan has not released any CDs or streaming from U.S.J. since the record-breaking failure of the outdoor musical (Fantastic World) around the 5th anniversary, except for the Christmas Rivera one. Translated by Deepl. ただ悲しいことに、ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパン™は、5周年の頃にあった屋外ミュージカル(ファンタスティックワールド)の記録的な失敗以降、クリスマスのリベラのものを除きCDやユー・エス・ジェイからのストリーミング配信を行っていません。

They need to bring yoshi to universal Hollywood

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

THE SOUNDTRACK THO!

[@luciafp1142]

Amazing 👏 I hope this parade stays for a really long time because I need to travel to see this in person 💖

[@carsfan360]

the good thing they used Charles Martinet's Mario voice recording from the previous games on the unit

[@Mariohenri90]

That was the coolest parade I ever seen.

[@SPIRE_FAN]

Using the Super Mario Kart instrument set for a custom parade song is awesome.

[@spydersoup8447]

Here's one thing I noticed, each music theme for each of the floats seems to be a reference to when and how the franchises in the parade became popular.

[@Goat0423]

Super Mario Kart was a pretty big moment for the Mario series but I’d hardly call it the moment the IP blew up in popularity, it is however fair to say Mario Kart is the biggest part of the series in sales especially.

[@pigeonbass11]

I like how each/most of the floats themes transition into with the song

[@kiramutoujaeger]

In what i heard: Hello Kitty-Elegant Theme Peanuts-Classic Theme Despicable Me-Groovy Theme Sesame Street-Hiphop Theme Sing-Musical Theme Mario-I think that's one of the stage in mario kart Pokemon-Pokemon Theme

[@AutZentus]

Never thought I'd see the day where Mario and Pokemon are seen in the same parade as peanuts, sesame street, and despicable me.

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

OMG Lugia and Ho-Oh and Charizard !

[@BowserMovies1989]

And the Koopalings. Now if only they put Mewtwo and Bowser Junior in this parade.

[@karanwarpzone482]

@@BowserMovies1989 Mew is there anyways.

[@BowserMovies1989]

@@karanwarpzone482 I know. But wouldn’t be cool if there was a person in a Mewtwo costume like the Koopalings?

[@timrob12]

You're telling me there is a party where Hello Kitty, Peanuts, Despicable Me, Sesame Street, Sing, Super Mario Brothers and Pokémon all come together and I didn't know about it?

[@AutZentus]

Well universal studios japan has been doing this for years, mario and pokemon are recent additions.

[@timrob12]

@@AutZentus Still jealous.

[@Carbabydoll]

Japan is amazing 🥰

[@ThemeParkOgre]

Nice to finally see Pokemon at a theme park! Crazy it's taken this long.

[@AutZentus]

Soon we will see more nintendo IP make it's way to universal along side mario and pokemon. Hell if we're lucky maybe they can have a smash bros event and possibly include other non nintendo characters like maybe sonic, pac-man, dragon quest hero, cloud, and sephiroth. The last 3 shouldn't be a problem for USJ since they along with square did partner up to feature final fastasy for a month a couple of years ago.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

@@AutZentus so many exciting possibilities!

[@birdflox1337]

​@@AutZentus Universal are definitely doubling down on their Nintendo IPs, but these theme parks still have a limit as to how much space they can take up. I wouldn't expect to be bombarded with new licenses in the future from them, I have a feeling that after the DK area there'll probably be one more Nintendo themed land and then that'll be it for the foreseeable future.

[@AutZentus]

@@birdflox1337 I wouldn't doubt it.

[@danielcurren2119]

Having pokemon just prints money, especially with how well this was executed... I almost legit teared up seeing yoshi and lugia

[@rmannayr2129]

I REALLY HOPE THEY BRING THIS PARADE TO THE US!

[@puddlejumper8466]

The Mario & Pokemon sections were EXCELLENT! And the song & dancers throughout the parade were great too! Idk, maybe Sesame Street & Charlie Brown are super popular in Japan, but I can't believe they outrank a number of Dreamworks movies.

[@spydersoup8447]

Yeah, I mean, Shrek could've been the perfect franchise to represent the music style of the late 90s and early 2000s. Though, I understand only choosing the franchises we got for this parade because they actually have areas and rides in this theme park.

[@bemiatto67]

​​@Spyder Soup I can see the Sesame Street and Charlie Brown segments getting replaced by a SpongeBob and Shrek segment if the parade gets ported over to the US

[@spydersoup8447]

@@bemiatto67 I don't know about SpongeBob as while in the late 2000s and early 2010s, I'd see that as most likely, but nowadays, Nickelodeon IPs are barely involved in the Universal theme parks. Maybe Madagascar?

[@spydersoup8447]

@@bemiatto67 Or perhaps Trolls, which I can see DreamWorks' Trolls being the replacement of the Peanuts and Madagascar being the replacement of Sesame Street?

[@birdflox1337]

With the success of Puss in Boots and an upcoming Shrek movie being likely, I can see them coming back to Universal soon honestly.

[@RigoLeons]

For the first Parade with Nintendo Characters. It Is Perfect.

[@kiramutoujaeger]

I wonder if donkey kong will join the parade next year since nintendo world will add donkey kong theme park next year

[@Inurantchan]

I really hope this ends up in the US parks!! We never got to experience Pokemon in a theme park setting like Japan has, and it would be great to see US Universal have what seems like a real parade for once heh...

[@natalieperez9669]

Just imagine...if we had a Universal Studios parade in Hollywood & Orlando but with Mario & the characters from Sing!Even the holiday parade!😍

[@blind_t2]

if they brought pokemon here in hollywood, there is sooooo many possibilities, especially knowing gen 9 with it being in like a school/college setting. if it’s a parade theme, they could easily incorporate a marching band playing the theme for the school in S/V.

[@DeadmanInc336]

I'm surprised they didn't have a second float with Obstagoon, Rillaboom, and the two Toxtricity forms playing music. It writes itself! 😂

[@littlemeow124]

I'd like to see how universal would incorporate pokemon attractions into the Japanese park. I'd recall reading that they were going to replace the kidzone area in the Orlando park with a pokemon themed land, but they scrapped that and ended up replacing it with the DreamWorks themed area we seem to be getting now. I wonder if universal is gonna bring back those ideas for the Japanese park

[@dree_f1ll3twrt]

With the Amazing Spider-Man ride closing in January 2024, fans expect that a Detective Pikachu ride will be built there. Detective Pikachu would fit in well with the atmosphere of the New York Area

All that Pokemon segment needs is a bunch of really, really, REALLY good cosplayers as the various gym leaders, Elite Four members and champions. Just some more familiar faces

[@bemiatto67]

They can probably have the dancers dressed up like Pokémon Trainers

[@alecperdeau650]

@@bemiatto67 that would be cool too

[@DeadmanInc336]

Or some smaller floats to go with it and a second large float. Maybe one with an Aerodactyl animatronic, a smaller Popplio animatronic that stays stationary but is balancing a bubble on its nose, with a Braixen costumed cast member. Then a second one with a Garchomp animatronic, a smaller Cyndaquil animatronic that remains stationary but it's quills light up, and a Treecko costumed character. The second large float could feature a giant Master Ball as it's centerpiece, an animatronic Dragonite, a costumed character as Mewtwo, and smaller Pokemon like Tyrunt, Mudkip, and Riolu surrounding it. There's so much potential with this parade. You can have cast members wearing Tyrantrum or Sceptile puppets like they do for the Velociraptors or multiple cast members forming an Onix puppet.

[@matthewslee910]

Hey everyone, sorry if I'm late to the party, but do you know what would be a cool idea to test out? 😀 I think it would be using these "No Limit!" Parade costumes of the Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Now Yoshi for the meet and greets both in Japan, and in Hollywood instead of the ones they're currently using. 🙂 Because the "No Limit!" parade costumes clearly have much more free movement throughout the bodies and including movement around the neck and waist areas, than the more stiff meet and greet costumes currently in use. 😉 What do you guys think? 😀

[@ghosty4]

They have more free movement throughout the bodies BECAUSE these costumes will never interact with people. Meet and greet costumes need to be reinforced, or "stiff", because of the amount of people they need to interact with on a daily basis.
