translated from Spanish: now you can play Mario Bros in real world

Nintendo and Mario Bros fans will soon be able to experience a real-world video game through a new attraction that is in development at Universal Studios Japan.
Super Nintendo World is scheduled to open next summer in Osaka, with a Power Up Band that allows visitors to collect coins while exploring the venue. Users track their progress through a smartphone app, according to the theme park operator owned by NBCUniversal.
“Super Nintendo World will provide an experience you can’t have anywhere else,” USJ CEO JL Bonnier said on Tuesday at a briefing in Osaka. He didn’t divulge any more details.
There is still little information about the attraction, which is equivalent to a Super Mario-themed mini-park, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. Universal Studios hinted that it will be based on the classic themes of Nintendo games, and the attraction will be on a mission to recover a gold fungus stolen by Bowser Jr., Mario’s antagonist.
The attraction will also have family games such as the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario Kart, Peach Castle and Bowser Fortress.

Super Nintendo World will also hit parks in Hollywood, Orlando and Singapore, although the dates have not yet been set.
Nintendo’s late president, Satoru Iwata, had already announced plans for a theme park in May 2015 as part of a wider opening of the company’s iconic characters for use beyond devices.
At the time, the move prompted speculation that the Kyoto-based game manufacturer can follow Walt Disney’s strategy when it comes to maximizing the value of its intellectual property. Since then, Nintendo has released a number of smartphone games, including a free version of the Mario Kart franchise, but making exclusive successful titles for its own hardware remains the core business.
