From the impressive Mario area, fans can now walk to the Donkey Kong Country area; area inspired video games that RARE signed for the Super Nintendo and that Nintendo subsequently continued to promote the game on consoles such as the Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.
The area, as expected, will feature a roller coaster that has been a long time in the making, as well as a regulated “Jungle Beat Shake” food area, souvenir shops, and the famous hidden “KONG” letters from the video games, which Visitors will be able to search and “check out” with using their interactive bracelets.

The roller coaster promises to test the “barrier” experienced by primates in video games, including the “trademark” of jumping off the rails.
This new Super Nintendo World area will open its doors on December 11th. So, if you’ve been running out of excuses to plan a trip to Japan, here’s another one.
This announcement is accompanied by the launch re-release of “Donkey Kong Country Returns”which will arrive on Nintendo Switch on January 16th in a port that improves the original Wii versionbringing the experience closer to the fans who missed it at the time, and to those who, incidentally, will buy it a second time.
