Los Angeles Universal Studios | Mario Land Strategy Sharing ๐๐ฎ
Mario Land (Super Nintendo World) is absolutely a paradise for Mario fans! However, to fully enjoy it, you need to prepare in advance. Here are some of my tips and experiences~ Essential TIPS: 1๏ธโฃ Purchase an Interactive Wristband Many interactive games in the park, such as breaking bricks and battling Koopa Troopas, require a special wristband to participate. The wristband not only records scores but also syncs with your Universal Studios app, which is super fun! ๐ฎโจ It's recommended to buy it as soon as you enter the park to avoid delaying your experience. 2๏ธโฃ Restaurant Reservation The Mario restaurant, Toadstool Cafe, is one of the park's hot spots, but there's almost no chance for walk-ins. Without a reservation, the waiting time could exceed two hours! โณ We booked an off-peak time at 2 PM, but still waited over an hour to eat. ๐ฝ๏ธ It's highly recommended to plan ahead and reserve a table via the official website or app! About the Restaurant ๐ Toadstool Cafe โข High on Looks: The restaurant is decorated with Mario elements, from the animations on the walls to the costumes of the staff, making you feel like you've stepped into the game world. ๐๐จ โข Cute Plating: Although the food is just "edible," the dishes are designed very cutely, like the mushroom soup bowl which is a small mushroom that you can take homeโadorable! ๐โค๏ธ Our kids couldn't put it down after eating and kept using it to drink soup~ Recommended Experiences: โข Mushroom Soup: The take-home mushroom bowl is the highlight. ๐๐ฅฃ โข Pasta: Very cartoonish in appearance, perfect for photo ops. ๐ธ๐ โข Dessert: The tiramisu cake has a unique shape but is too sweet! ๐ฐ๐ Must-Play Attractions 1๏ธโฃ Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge This is the star attraction of the park, a racing game with augmented reality (AR) experience that immerses you in the fun of racing against Bowser! ๐๏ธ๐ฅ The lines are long, but it's worth it. 2๏ธโฃ Interactive Games Wear your wristband and participate in interactive tasks with friends or family, such as breaking bricks, collecting coins, and even challenging bosses! ๐ฎ๐ฅ This is the favorite part for kids and fans~ Other Small Tips โข Enter Early: Mario Land is not large, but it's crowded. It's recommended to enter as soon as the park opens and hit the popular attractions first. ๐๐ถโโ๏ธ โข Queue Off-Peak: If you want to play Mario Kart or dine at the restaurant, choose non-peak times like midday or afternoon. ๐๐ด โข Bring a Power Bank! ๐๐ฑ Summary Mario Land is a visual and experiential treat. Even though the restaurant food is average, the overall atmosphere and interactive facilities make it worth the ticket price. ๐๏ธโจ Planning your time and wristband in advance will make your trip smoother~ #MeaningOfLife #Mario #MarioKart #MarioLandAdventure #LosAngeles #LAUniversal #LALife #UniversalStudios #universalstudio #CaliforniaLife
