A brand new area featuring Donkey Kong is scheduled to open at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka in Spring 2024. Officially dubbed “Donkey Kong Country” and revealed at a media event on December 5, this new area will open inside the existing Super Nintendo World area of the park and offer experiences based around everyone’s favorite Kong. The official English description reads as follows:
Go on a wild adventure in the world of Donkey Kong!
Step foot into an unknown, wild space with lush greenery.
In this jungle where Donkey Kong and his friends live, you can hop on a mine cart from The Golden Temple for a thrilling ride through the mines, challenge yourself at a play experience using your whole body, and have loads of other wild adventures!
Plus, you can check out all the food and merchandise in the middle of the jungle!
Awaken your instinct to play and enjoy all the fun and surprises that the world of Donkey Kong has to offer!
*The new area, Donkey Kong Country, to open in 2024!
On top of the new mine-cart roller coaster, brand new Power-up Bands featuring both Donkey Kong and Diddy will be added to the lineup. This addition brings the number of available bands up to eight. The new area grows the Super Nintendo World area 1.7 times and will bring in the theme of “Play Wild” to the park.
The Donkey Kong area was first revealed to be in the works back in 2021. Be sure to check out the trailer below to get a glimpse at what the new area will look like.
