NO LIMIT! Parade: Discover U!!!
The parade begins with a circular, gold display. Inside the display are multicolor splashes surrounding a “25th Anniversary” emblem in the Universal Studios font.
Having just celebrated its 30th year, a large Pokémon float piled high with Poké Balls follows along. There are two Pokémon trainers on the front and a Pikachu behind them wearing his celebratory attire. Other Pokémon shown on the float include Charizard, Smeargle, Rowlet, and Gengar.
A Mario Kart float has neat, stacked, multi-colored boxes. Gold coins adorn it as well as other motifs from the game, like yellow stars, a Bullet Bill, and a banana peel. Princess Daisy waves at the back of the float.
From the front of the Mario Kart float, we see Bowser and Mario racing along a Rainbow Road track. Coins surround them, and Toad is in a kart coming up in third place.
Dancers dressed in yellow dresses hold batons with gold coins at the end, while others dressed in more futuristic outfits carry iridescent question mark blocks. Skaters are behind them in mini kart costumes and Boswer helmets.
Several Sesame Street characters are seen on the show’s float. At the front are Abby Cadabby and Cookie Monster. The back of the float has multicolored, whimsical buildings.
Gru and his kiddos, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, as well as his wife Lucy, are aboard this Despicable Me float. Several minions, including Kevin and Bob, are wearing party accessories like hats and star-shaped glasses at the front of the float.
There is also a cake-shaped float for the 25th anniversary of Universal Studios Japan. It is multicolored just like the introductory sign. There are large frames on the sides of it, and the front frame has “25th” on it. And it appears that the frames on the side display live footage of parade goers, captured by Team Members walking the route.
