The wristbands do appear to give more appeal and usage than the Disney’s Park Pass wristbands. You’ll have choices between Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi for your Super Nintendo World Theme Park wristbands. Wonder when a Bowser-theme wristband will appear. To complement the usage of the wristbands and its function for the theme park, there’s a collaboration music video. Univseral Studios Japan’s Super Nintendo World opens up in Osaka this summer. Hollywood, Orlando and Singapore will follow after.
