Having a theme park inspired by your favorite childhood game Super Mario can be considered a blessing made possible when Universal Studios Japan announced that their Super Nintendo World would open on Feb. 4, 2021.
It gets even better when the company announced the game itself would inspire its roster of foods available inside the theme park. According to Tech Beezer, the tasty options vary from sweet and unusual combinations of flavors and cultures that promise to strengthen one's taste buds.
Apart from the menu items the company has released, Universal Studios included Kinopio's Café, which according to Geek Culture, is modeled or inspired with the Toad House in the game franchise.
The Nerdist adds that apart from Kinopio's café, the Yoshi's Snack Island will also be opened in the theme park where the menu encompasses Mario-themed foods, particularly finger food and go-to snacks that you can eat while exploring the whole Nintendo Land.
