The list of things to see and do within a Nintendo theme park.
Rides aren't for everyone, and that is why there should be several Nintendo themed attractions found within the Nintendo section of a theme park. From shows, experiences, to characters, there is no shortage of ideas for thing to experiences within the walls of a real life Nintendo Land. These attractions would be a great way for those looking for a calmer, simpler experience to immerse themselves in the world of Nintendo. So scan through our ideas and then be sure to share your own vision for Nintendo inspired attractions in the Talk Back section below.
Punch-Out!! Live Show
The Punch-Out!! Live Show could be a fun semi-choreographed fight between Little Mac and a random boxer from the famous video game series. I imagine this attraction kind of like a pro-wrestling match but with boxing. A short show with dramatics and re-watchability since you never know what boxer Mac will go up against next.
The ring could be decked out with W.V.B.A. logos and Doc Louis would be there in Mac’s corner. Heck, I would love to see Mac take a bite of one of Doc’s famous chocolate bars between rounds to get some energy back. Hit’em baby!
Princess Peach’s Castle
Princess Peach’s Castle is one of the most iconic pieces of architecture in the Nintendo universe. This castle came to fame in Super Mario 64, and since has kept a similar design throughout several other Mario titles.
Just seeing the castle would be spectacular, but the inside could also be filled with stores and dining areas. Maybe even part of it could be transformed into some sort of hotel as well.
Star Fox Vehicles
Who doesn’t love fun photo opportunities? Wouldn’t it be great to get a photo of yourself in on of the Star Fox team’s famous Arwings? Maybe you and three friends could each get in one of the ships and get an entire Star Fox style team shot. It seems like something fans could hang on their wall back at home for years.
The World of Pikmin
Shrink down and experience the world from Captain Olimar’s perspective. Run around a small portion of the world with giant everyday objects that can be set up in a fun playground like experience.
Sure, Disney has something similar based on Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but the idea is good and transfers over well. Of course, the Pikmin version could be filled with fun enemies and have occasional appearances of various Space Captains from the Pikmin universe.
Costumed Characters
It’s obvious, but there should be a plethora of different Nintendo characters walking around the park. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Link, Zelda, Bowser, Ganondorf, Donkey Kong, and more! Who doesn’t want to meet the heroes and villains of the Nintendo universe?
