Recently, the world's first new area themed around the popular game character "Donkey Kong," "Donkey Kong Country," officially opened at Universal Studios Japan.
The scene design of Donkey Kong Country recreates the lush jungle and mysterious caves from the game, making visitors feel as if they are in this mysterious and exciting world. The new area not only expands the area of Super Nintendo World but also, with the theme of "Play Wild!," allows visitors to fully enjoy the fun of exploration and adventure. In addition to the previously highly anticipated mine cart roller coaster project, the Donkey Kong area also introduces a series of exciting activities: rhythm interaction games (supporting up to three people playing together), "KONG" letter scanning interactive experience (requires wearing a power-up band to participate), Jungle Beat Shakes specialty restaurant, and an exclusive souvenir shop. Donkey Kong's Crazy Minecart™ Donkey Kong's Crazy Minecart
Dash through the jungle for a thrilling and unpredictable adventure! The brand-new crazy mine cart roller coaster (Donkey Kong's Crazy Minecart) is set against the backdrop of a golden temple, where riders will take on the mission of protecting the golden bananas from the Tiki Tong and Tiki Tak tribes. Inspired by the mine cart track in "Donkey Kong Country Returns," this amusement facility uses Universal Studios' patented bouncing roller coaster design to create the illusion of the mine cart jumping off the track, giving visitors an unpredictable adventure. Each mine cart can accommodate 4 people, and each round of play takes about 2 minutes. Visitors race along the jungle track, avoiding obstacles ahead. Conga Drum Interactive Game Groove to the music with Rambi!
In addition to the roller coaster, Donkey Kong Country will also offer a variety of interactive experiences, including taking photos with Donkey Kong's puppet and an interactive mini-game with hand drum music. Visitors can personally experience participating in the Donkey Kong forest party, beating the conga drums to the rhythm of the conga music, from simple melodies to complex rhythms. If successful, they can summon the rhino Rambi. This not only tests musicality but also reaction speed and dexterity, making it suitable for playing with children! Power-Up Band Interactive Power-Up Band Key Challenges The new area continues the interactive wristband system characteristic of Nintendo. In addition to previous styles, wristbands with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong designs have been launched, adding banana elements that perfectly match the theme. Players can use the power-up band to interact with various game characters and clear levels. While queuing, playing, and participating in activities, players can collect Easter eggs through the wristband to enhance the fun of playing. Hidden 【K】, 【O】, 【N】, and 【G】 block letters in the park can be scanned and collected using the wristband to defeat enemies, collect 3 keys, break into Bowser Jr.'s secret hut, and challenge the BOSS to reclaim the golden mushroom. The power-up band can also connect to the USJ official mobile application to help visitors track their game progress and collections. Jungle Beat Shakes Snack Shop Jungle Beat Shakes
A popular dessert shop in the jungle, Barrel-themed desserts make a dazzling debut, with a unique Donkey Kong style that is refreshing! Known as Jungle Beat Shakes, the snack shop will offer a banana-flavored DK Crush Sundae and a DK Wild Hot Dog with avocado sauce. Visitors can savor tropical flavors in the heart of the jungle. Themed Peripheral Shop Funky Kong's Fly and Buy
Funky Kong's Fly and Buy is a jungle-themed specialty store with exclusive Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong peripherals, focusing on tropical themes.
