  • Category:Experience


The operator of Universal Studios Japan in Osaka said Tuesday it will open a new attraction area based on Nintendo Co.'s popular Donkey Kong game series on Dec. 11 after postponing it from this spring.

In a world first, the Donkey Kong Country area will replicate the jungle home of the ape-like character Donkey Kong and his friends and expand by 70 percent the park's Super Nintendo World area featuring augmented reality attractions of iconic characters such as Mario.

The area's Mine Cart Madness ride attraction was unveiled to the media for the first time, offering guests the opportunity to ride on carts through the jungle while protecting a coveted Golden Banana from enemies.

"We are looking forward to welcoming our guests," said Daniel Greer, the area's producer, adding that the new attraction is "a thrilling and ultra-exciting experience that is both visually and instinctively stimulating."
