The arrival of the Mario brothers’ theme park in Spain is getting closer and closer.

In 2021, Japan opened the Super Nintendo World theme park in Osaka. space dedicated to one of the most famous video game franchises: Super Mario Bros. However, there are now rumors that Spain could be the next place to create such a park in Europe.

Speculation began when PortAventura, one of Spain’s most important theme parks, announced it was looking for a new buyer and Universal, the park’s former owner, appeared to be interested in bringing it back.

The possibility of Universal regaining control of PortAventura makes sense. And in the United States, the company has expanded its parks with themed areas dedicated to video game characters, such as the upcoming Super Mario Land in Orlando, raising expectations that Universal will aim to repeat this success in Spain by introducing Super Nintendo World to Europe..

The idea of ​​creating a theme park dedicated to the Mario brothers in Tarragona arose. interest from both theme parks and video game fans.

In recent months, Universal has filed patents in Spain related to its most innovative attractions. These include virtual queuing systems and augmented reality technologies, such as those used in the Mario Kart ride in Japan. The moves suggest that Universal paves the way for bringing Nintendo’s world to Europeoffering an experience similar to that of its parks in the US and Japan.

While there is no official confirmation of Universal’s involvement in the purchase of Port Aventura at this time, the signs are clear. If Super Nintendo World Europe is realized, it will be able to replicate the magical experience that visitors already enjoy in Japan. Although the Japanese park only has two main attractions, the arrival of these and other new attractions in Spain will be exciting for Nintendo fans across Europe. In addition, the park may also attract a large number of tourists to our countryas the number of video game fans grows.
