The homepage of the Super Nintendo World section shows your selected character image, how many coins you’ve collected, and how many of the 128 stamps you’ve received.

Bowser Jr. stole the Golden Mushroom and locked it away.

His minions guard the keys, so you’ll need to fight them.

After the summary, you can access the land’s map. Guests enter Super Nintendo World through Princess Peach’s castle. Bowser’s castle holds the main attraction, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge.

The rank section shows team rankings. The five teams are led by Mario, Peach, Daisy, Luigi, and Toad. As of now, no team has any points, of course (although we resent Toad being automatically listed at the bottom).

Super Nintendo World Pass Member previews will begin on January 29. The land will then open to the public on February 17.
