First Look: Food in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Universal’s Epic Universe

Hey Universal Vacationers! Universal Orlando has finally revealed the food and drinks coming to SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Epic Universe—and fans are in for a power-up. With four dining locations inspired by the Super Mario and Donkey Kong franchises, guests will get a taste of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond when the park opens on May 22, 2025. Here’s some of the food in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD and where to find it.

Where to Eat in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD

Epic Universe’s SUPER NINTENDO WORLD features four themed dining locations, each offering dishes inspired by Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and other iconic Nintendo characters. Here’s what’s on the menu:

Toadstool Cafe

Toadstool Cafe serves up Mario-themed meals in a setting straight out of the Mushroom Kingdom. Expect burgers, pasta, and interactive dining experiences that bring the game world to life. Some of the highlights include:

• Mario Burger (Bacon, Mushroom & Cheese) – A classic all-beef patty topped with savory mushrooms, fresh lettuce, tomato, melted American cheese, and served on a brioche bun with truffle fries on the side.
• Luigi Burger (Pesto Grilled Chicken) – Grilled chicken topped with basil pesto, Swiss cheese, green peppers, and fresh spinach, all on a soft brioche bun with truffle fries.
• Bowser’s Fireball Challenge – A one-pound meatball, smothered in mushroom marinara sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese, served with a Bowser-inspired puff pastry and a side of hot sauce.

Think you can handle Bowser’s Fireball Challenge? This fiery dish is set to test your taste buds.

Yoshi’s Snack Island

Need a quick refreshing drink between rides? Yoshi’s Snack Island has the perfect power-up:

• Yoshi’s Smoothie (Apple Melon) – A blended frozen drink made with Granny Smith apple and sweet honeydew syrup, topped with whipped cream and green apple bursting boba.

More snack and drink options are expected to be announced as we get closer to the opening date.

Step Inside SUPER NINTENDO WORLD

When you enter SUPER NINTENDO WORLD through the iconic green pipe, you step into a real-life Mushroom Kingdom.

Guests are instantly immersed in the world of Nintendo, surrounded by Piranha Plants, Goombas, spinning coins, and moving platforms. The area is divided into two main lands:

• Super Mario Land – Home to Toadstool Cafe, Yoshi’s Snack Island, and Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge.
• Donkey Kong Country – Featuring the all-new Mine Cart Madness coaster and additional dining locations that have yet to be revealed.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
