Super Nintendo World[a] is a themed area at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood. Further areas are under construction at the upcoming Universal Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort and at Universal Studios Singapore. A result of a partnership between Nintendo and Universal Destinations & Experiences, the area is based on Nintendo video game franchises, primarily the Mario and Donkey Kong franchises.

The partnership between Nintendo and Universal was announced in May 2015. The construction of a Nintendo-themed area for Universal Studios Japan and both American locations was announced the following year. Construction began on the Universal Studios Japan area in June 2017. Following several delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the area opened at Universal Studios Japan on March 18, 2021. The Universal Studios Hollywood location opened on February 17, 2023. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto was heavily involved in the design of the area and attractions.[4]
