Universal Studios Japan has announced a delay in the opening of the Super Nintendo World expansion inspired by the iconic game Donkey Kong. The sprawling new area, centered around the beloved characters Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, will now be fully integrated into the existing Mushroom Kingdom park “by the end of 2024.”

The postponement of the opening by six months means that the Donkey Kong area, which was originally set to debut in the spring of this year, will now only be accessible towards the end of 2024. It’s advised to adjust your vacation plans accordingly!

Universal Studios did not disclose the reason for the delay, which was announced earlier today on the X social media platform.

The opening of the Donkey Kong area will feature a brand-new roller coaster named Mine Cart Madness, taking passengers on a thrilling journey through the jungle with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, including a section where you “leap over a collapsed track.”

Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios is currently open to visitors in amusement parks in Japan and Hollywood (with the latter offering a smaller version). Additional installations are set to open next year at Universal Studios Singapore and in Florida at the Universal Epic Universe park.
