Super Nintendo World continues to evolve, and the theme park at Universal Studios Hollywood just added a new interactive wall. It can be found within the Frosted Glacier area.
According to Universal, the wall “is designed to challenge guests as they engage with familiar Super Mario characters within the dynamic land.” Visitors can collect digital coins and stamps through the Power-Up Band while keeping track of their score as they challenge themselves each time they play.
Going along with the release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a new reward was just added to My Nintendo. Members can now claim a double keychain.
Luigi is featured here along with the Poltergust 5000. Also, the Polterpup is included as part of the design.
