A new music video featuring Charli XCX has been shared by Nintendo. It displays the Super Nintendo World which is an upcoming theme park at Universal Studios Japan. The song has throwbacks to the Super Mario soundtracks and explores the CGI Super Nintendo World.
The theme park is scheduled to open mid-year between June to September 2020. While initially, the park will only have two rides, additional attractions will no doubt make their way to the park soon. The video does not have any actual footage from the theme park so there is no way to tell what stage the park is currently at. However, the details revealed so far make the place sound like an awesome live video game adventure. Not only can visitors take place in Mario-Kart races, but they can also earn coins around the park with power up bands.
