Worth It? Super Nintendo World Early Access Universal Studios

Can you accomplish everything you want at Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood? The park is small and very popular, which makes it difficult to get to everything it has to offer. Universal Studios offers early park entry just for Super Nintendo World, which gives you an hour to explore the land prior to the park opening. The question is, should you buy this extra pay pass to enter Super Nintendo World early?

We visited Super Nintendo World just once prior to this visit, and it was opening day. As you can imagine, the opening day of a brand new land at a theme park is very hectic. Credit to Universal Studios Hollywood; it ran smoothly, and we had so much fun. The only downside of our first visit was that we could not get to everything the land had to offer.

We decided to test the early park entry for Super Nintendo World on this particular Recess. Our mission was to test if, within that hour, we could:

  1. Play all 3 mini games and qualify for Bowser JR game.

  2. Get a reservation for Toadstool Cafe for later in the day.

  3. Play Bowser Jr Mini Game.

  4. Complete a Meet and Greet.

  5. Collect Coins.

  6. Get in line and/or ride Mario Kart Bowser’s Challenge.

Check out our day at Super Nintendo World Universal Studios Hollywood to see if we accomplished everything we wanted to do.
