I bought a special Donkey Kong hot dog once and for all. This food is art, huh? It's really, really cool. Every time the cart passes, you hear a cry like a monkey, wow, I loved it. What creative recipes. How delicious everything is. Wu. We are at Universal Studios, Japan, specifically to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Super Nintendo World. This super cool park, honestly, is super awesome that I already showed you on the channel a few years ago. And on that occasion, we did everything, it was very cool, we went on many attractions, but now I want us to live the experience with the Premium Pass, which saves you a lot of time in lines so you can make the most of it. And we are also going to see the new area they have built for Donkey Kong, which from what little I've seen, it looks like it's very cool, very awesome, very monkey-like. Look, honestly, it sounds very exciting, it sounds very cool, and you don't have to ask me twice to come all the way to Japan to greet Mario Bros. himself. So, come on, this video, we're basically going to have a good time, we're going to have fun, and I'm going to show you things that have changed in the park over these years. Come on, the world of Super Nintendo at Universal Studios, Japan awaits us. Let's do it, Ikimas Mao. We have to repeat this legendary moment. From here, we are going to go through the tunnel to teleport to the world of Super Nintendo. Turururu. Wow, this is like from the Nintendo 64, right? And look here, huh. I love this detail on the ceiling. This is where our buddy jumps and wajahu. And let's go up, brother. Wow, how cool this is. I didn't remember it was so cool, but it's the amount of detail, one is inside the video game right now. The coins spinning, the plants spinning, its little head. Ready to take a bite if you get too close, the Goombas passing from one side to the other. The shells, look, even the Goombas there juggling. Yoshi sama up there. Yoshi. Yoshi cones. No, honestly, it's very cool. It's literally like being inside the video game. I already got my wristband, I chose the Donkey Kong one, honestly, because if we came to see the new Donkey Kong area, we have to pay homage to the ape, homage to the monkey. It's cool. And look, I also have my Donkey Kong headband here. What do we think? Is it cool? Do you like it? And look at this. You put it on like this. Monkey! The purpose of this bracelet, from the last time I came, I actually didn't know, but the purpose of this bracelet is that you keep playing and throughout the park you encounter different activities and collect coins. In fact, there's even an app on the phone and everything that you can keep collecting. You have your coins and stuff and there are several games. They tell me that in the Donkey Kong area too, and it's cool like that. Okay, we have to do this. We already have our wristband, so you put it right here. Waju. Ah. I'm going to become a millionaire here, I mean, I'm going to bankrupt the park with so many coins I'm taking. Look, last time I didn't know this. If you hit it with the hand that doesn't have the wristband, check it out. Error, it doesn't let you. So it has to be with the hand that has the wristband. And well, I'm not going to show you all the attractions in detail because I don't want the video to be too repetitive with the one from last time. You can go watch it if you want. But check it out, we've already arrived at this new area, which is the Donkey Kong one. We're going to enter the territory of the Apes. This part opened in 2024, meaning it's only about two years old from the date I'm recording this. Oh, it looks really cool. Let's see, let's see some music here to get in the mood, to dance a little. Oh wow, it's super cool. Wow, look at this. Let's see, it hasn't been long. In fact, I played Donkey Kong on some arcade machines near my house. They had Donkey Kong there and Vero told me, "I dodged barrels like a true professional." Oh, look, there's like special Donkey Kong food. There's merch and everything, this is the ape's land. There's a roller coaster here. Look at that. Wow, I want to ride that. Wow, look at that. Look at that. Oh, it looks super cool. I want to try it. Those people looked like they were having a brutal time. Wow, there's a lot to see. It's very big. I thought this area would be smaller. Ah, there's the ape. Look at that. There's Donkey Ape, I love you. A genius, it's huge, isn't it? Truly, what a giant mascot. It's cool. It's top-notch. Who would win a fight between Dr. Simi and Donkey Kong? No, that he throws some barrels at him. It would be, I mean, legendary. I'd pay good money to see that. Honestly, I got hungry. So, I bought a special Donkey Kong hot dog once and for all. It's good. It has avocado and cheese sauce. And look at this. Some delicious-looking tortilla chips. Uf! Hey, it's brutal. Ah, the detail on the bun. Look at that. Wow. Hey, this food is art, huh? It's really, really cool. I loved it. Let's see how it is. And there's more here. Mmm, it's brutal, spectacular. Now I think we're going to share it with the crew because I don't want to be too full, because otherwise on the roller coasters I'm going to splash everyone. No, I don't want to be full-bellied. So, right now, among the whole team. We'll eat it all, but yes, it's very good. This is the roller coaster we're going to ride now. It's called Donkey Kong Minecart Madness. Look, it passes by very often. It's cool. Here comes the band and it splashes you a little. Let's see, it's cold right now, honestly, huh? But the lady who is guiding us tells me that you don't really get wet, that it's just like a splash. It's super cool. Every time the cart passes, you hear a cry like a monkey, this one looks amazing, honestly, huh? It looks very fun. Goodbye. Wow, this roller coaster is super fun, very fun. It's like a roller coaster, just like in the video game where you're on a roller coaster and it's like broken and you have to jump from rail to rail and at one point it looks like you're going to crash into Donkey Kong. It's very fun, truly, very fun. It has very good drops, it has the water moment. It's very good. It's very good. By the way, they asked me here to tell you to please hold on when you're on a roller coaster, okay? Hold on tight, right? Honestly, it's amazing. I would have loved to record the ride for you, but clearly that's not, well, it's not possible. Although I'll show you here, honestly, this is probably my favorite in the whole park, it's super cool. Check out this curious drink we found. This is the Donkey Kong special sundae. It's superb. It has cereal, it has ice cream, it has cookies, it even has popcorn. Let's try it and see how it is. Ah, it's delicious. And especially the presentation is cool, right? It's good that you can obviously keep the cup. You have an incredible souvenir cup. What did you bring me from Nintendo park, son? I brought you the Donkey Kong cup, Mom. What else do you want? And it's obviously banana flavored. Well, yes, it's Donkey Kong, it has to be banana flavored, right? It's delicious, you guys. And honestly, the Premium Pass is amazing for all the attractions, for the roller coasters and stuff. You wait a little. Well, it's not that you don't wait, but you wait very little. Yes, you save a lot of lines. It's brutal. It's brutal. Mm. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Look, there's the Donkey Kong merch section and you find everything. So, plush toys, keychains, look. This one is awesome. Well, it's not awesome, it's very monkey-like. They have t-shirts, cups, candy, there's everything. And look here, the keychain of Diddy himself. It's very good, honestly. Well, yes, obviously in these parks, the merch is always very attractive and stuff. And I liked this Donkey Kong section. I liked it. And here in this section to collect coins, points on your wristband, it's at these points here. So, how it works here, it's not like you're going to arrive and punch it, right? But rather you get close, there it is, and you're already collecting. How much can I collect? Can I embezzle the park? No, it gives me a limit. There it is. So yes, in the Donkey Kong section too, you can collect on your wristband to have a view of the park. We went to ride a Yoshi. Of course. Not every day can you ride a dinosaur, huh? I mean, it's a very, very special opportunity. And look, it's very cool. We got the yellow Yoshi. Look at this. Or yellow, orange. It looks more like it, doesn't it? And check it out, you have a very cool view of the whole park here, right? It's awesome here, huh? My brother, just like in the video game. And you can feed your Yoshi with eggs. So, look. And every time you feed it an egg, the guy makes little sounds like in the game, just like that. Once you collect eggs, your lights turn on and you can feed your Yoshi. I really like this, that, well, look, this is for video game fans, so the attraction itself being a video game is excellent. You keep yourself entertained, you collect coins, it's a top park, it's very high quality. And today we got some sun, some really nice sunshine. Look at this. Lately, the days have been very cold. Hunger, what a marvel. I didn't remember how epic Bowser's castle is, but honestly, it's imposing. It's the level of detail they put into everything. I think this park is good even if you don't like adrenaline, attractions, and all that, you come here to be impressed by the details, by the technology, by the design they put into everything. It's cool. Look at this. I mean, look, for example, this waiting area here, right? In case you're tired and stuff. You sit on mushrooms, right? Delicious. A little while here to relax. And right next to where Bowser's castle is, is the Mario Bros. attraction. That one is also cool because it's designed like a video game. So, let's make use of our Premium Pass, right? And let's skip the line right away and let's go ride it. The Mario Kart one is cool. They give you a cap. I couldn't record everything in detail there, but they give you a cap and then they give you a visor, and it's basically like playing Mario Kart on an attraction. It's very good, it's fun, and it's also built like a video game. Now, look, let's check out this merch store, the things they sell are always very curious. These parks and their extensive merch will never cease to amaze me. I mean, they sell you everything you can imagine, even eating utensils, plates, candy, truly everything, everything you can imagine, clothes, and cool clothes you can wear in daily life. Yes, yes. You come to these parks and you want to take everything with you, everything. You end up buying an extra suitcase. So, we got really hungry, so we came to order everything at Kinopio's Cafe, which is Toad's cafe. Basically, it's very beautiful. The last time we came here, I remember we didn't go in due to lack of time, so this time we said we have to go in and order everything to try and show. The place is super beautifully decorated, the ceiling has very specific details, and it's actually called Kinopio because that's what Toad is called in Japanese, which even makes more sense of the name because in Japanese mushroom is called kinoko, so it's a play on words kinoko, kinopio, huh? And that's why it makes more sense. And yes, look, we ordered everything. We have the Mario Bros. burger here, we have the Luigi sandwich, the star rice, Bowser's meat. Look at this, I loved Bowser's meat, the detail is super cool, they put like a shell on it. Then, look at Toad's or Kinopio's pizza bowl, the flower pasta, we have a very colorful drink, with jelly. We have everything. Well, clearly I'm not going to eat all of this, right? This is food for the crew, the team here. Everyone will have their own dish, and I'm going to grab, honestly, these ones here that I want to try. Let's try. For me, honestly, I ordered this, Bowser's meat. I loved the detail, honestly, it's very cool. Let's see how it is. Let's see how it is. Let's mix it with everything, right? And honestly, how cool that we could come and see the restaurant now, because yes, last time due to lack of time and stuff, we couldn't. Uf! And there's more here. Mmm. It's super good. I loved it. And I loved this salad here, the shape is very original, very eye-catching. This is what I'm most curious about. It says it's a pizza bowl, a plate of pizza. Let's see how it is. Oh, very creative recipe, very creative cuisine. Uf! Ah, look. Exactly. It's like a pizza inside. A pizza on a platter. Oh, how curious. Let's see. Ah, yes, look. And you mix it with the bread. Mmm. Mmm. It's very hot. It's very hot. Mm. Wow. I loved it. What creative recipes. How delicious everything is. Mmm. Now let's eat. Let's stop for a bit here because Yayito is hungry. So yes, let's stop for a bit, take advantage, and yes, honestly, wow, I loved this restaurant. Unmissable, unmissable. And everything, here I want to introduce Yuko here. Yuko works with Universal Studios Japan and she's the one who's been giving us the tour and stuff, honestly, a great person, a genius, and she agreed to give us a little interview so we can have cool information, pro video information. Yukosan and ego, so thank you so much for all the time that you've given us today. Yeah, thank you so much for me. Very very cool. So, um for sure one of the popular parks now it's Nintendo World, right? No doubt one of my favorites actually. So when did the planning begin? How long did it take to to build it? Tell me. So in 2016 we announced the partnership with Nintendo and the the earliers open uh in March 18 2021. 2021 so five years it took. Oh wow. So this year is a five years anniversary. Oh that is so cool. Universal Studios Japan. When did it open? like back in the 2000s. Oh yeah, 2001 March 2001 is like the University of Japan opened. Wow. So 25 years now. Oh long time.

So shout out to all the engineers uh that made it possible because wow truly like piece of art it's really really great work. So seeing that it has been such a great success, are there any plans to make Nintendo world in other cities of the world? So the interaction is also like like the in the universal halyw and universal epic universe. Yeah. So I mean in case uh you guys are not in Japan or close to Japan, you can go to you can go to those and they're also super cool. I'm sure a lot of people watching this video right now. Shout out to everybody are super interested in coming to the park and leaving the experience. What would you recommend to the people that are interested in coming? Uh, university to Japan offer a wild cross of entertainment for example Japanese like animation attraction and there was high earliers too. So like we are part to like the merch like entertainment. Well, thank you so much for talking with us and talking with all the nice people watching us home. Greetings from Japan right now. And yeah, let's keep on touring the park because it's been like super super cool and I wanna keep on living the experience. We're leaving the Nintendo world now and we're here in Jurassic Park, right in front. Uh, how about that? Many dimensions coexist. This roller coaster here is called the Flying Dinosaur. Last time we rode it and honestly, it's tough because you go lying down, you go like this, it's very good, honestly. I highly recommend it, it's for high adrenaline people, but today, honestly, right now I'm very full and I'm afraid, I'm afraid of showering all the spectators here, right? So, we're going to skip it for now, but it is very cool, huh? Very, very cool. And likewise with this VIP experience, with the premium pass, you save the line because yes, it's one of the most popular, everyone wants to ride it. This one here looks very good, but right now, this time of year, honestly, I don't want to, I don't want to do it because you get wet and you get really wet. Well, I see people have their raincoats, but even so, in fact, I think I hear them coming. Yes, I mean, just being here you get a little wet because it splashes everywhere even here. And also, look up here. We see the Flying Dinosaur passing by. Wow, the flying dinosaur. Look at that. Wow, it's brutal. That one is very good. And the ambiance, honestly, it's cool. Look, here comes this one. I already heard it. Here it comes. Look at that. No, no, no. It's a heavy downpour. You know what? For that, honestly, I'm going to come back in the summer, okay? And in the summer, it even refreshes you nicely and stuff, but right now at 5 degrees. Honestly, I'm not very much in the mood. But yes, the ambiance here of all of Jurassic Park and stuff is good, honestly, it's very cool. It reminds me of the real Jurassic Park we visited recently, right? There on Komodo Island. Very delicious, very delicious. Wingardium Leviosa. Now we have transported ourselves to the world of magic. How about this? How about this cape? It's cool, right? Especially with the cold it's getting right now. I think it's good to have another cape. Uh, I liked my offni, I liked my magic wand. I've visited Harry Potter themed parks in other cities, and honestly, they're cool. The attractions are usually very good, the food, the whole ambiance is top-notch. We're going to walk around here, cast some spells. Wow. I wish I could record the bathroom. Obviously, I won't, but it's very impressive, truly. It's very cool. It's a bathroom decorated like, well, like in Harry Potter, like an old school bathroom. And you hear voices like spirits that are there, I don't know, and it bubbles, right? Truly, the bathroom, I mean, the detail that the bathroom is decorated, top, top. 10 out of 10. Many magic wands casting spells together. Wow, look at the detail with which they made Gryffindor, you know, the school of the wizards, where mortals, the moguls, I think they call us, no, we are not admitted, it's not but impressive. I mean, if someone told me this was real architecture from Romania or something, I'd believe it, huh? I mean, the trees, everything is impressive. To this park. The last time we came to Universal, I didn't pay much attention to it, and it's truly incredible, there are many details everywhere, and yes, well, Harry Potter has fans everywhere, it's one of the most popular. We rode an attraction called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and it's very good. I had ridden a very similar one at another Universal in San Francisco, I think, and it's very good. They play with screens, characters come out, no, no, no. Truly top-level attractions, and it was delicious not having to wait in that line. It was very, very top. So there you have it, this concludes our experience with the premium pass at Universal Studios, Japan. Wow, how top everything was. I loved it. Very fun, very cool, and well utilized. Look, we even did everything and it's still light. What a marvel! What beauty! How did you see it? What was your favorite part? What did you crave? What did I miss documenting? I'd love to read you down here in the comments. Thank you very much for accompanying me on another adventure, and we'll see you as always, as you know, in a few days with a new video. Goodbye, my dears.
