According to the official Universal Japan website, the attractions include “Mario Kart: Koopa Challenge” a Mario Kart themed roller coaster set in Bowser’s Castle, “Yoshi’s Adventure” a slower ride which allows guests to ride their own Yoshi, and “Power Up Band Key Challenges” an interactive attraction which requires an additional app and wristband to experience it.
As well as these attractions, Universal Studios Japan is also home to The Mario Café & Shop which opened October 16 2020. The café serves various Mario and friends themed drinks and desserts while the shop stocks all the Mario merchandise you could imagine.
