Universal Studios Japan is definitely more action-oriented than rival parks, so you should also eat a healthy meal before visiting. Although, if you forget, that’s where Kinopio’s Cafe comes in… Kinopio’s Cafe Calling all Super Mario fans! Get ready to jump into a world of excitement with our fantastic range of Super Mario toys. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just a fan of those adorable characters, we've got something that will make you shout, "Mamma Mia!" There’s one more Mario-themed eatery in Universal Studios Japan but it’s not located within Super Nintendo World and is only around for a limited time.

The popcorn comes in two different flavours, Caramel Peach (sweet) and Mushroom Salt (savoury). Japanese caramel popcorn is delicious, and the sweetness of the peach only serves to enhance the sweetness of the caramel. Immerse yourself in the adventure as you reenact iconic scenes from the film or create your own thrilling Mario movie moments. Get hands-on with our Super Mario Bros. Movie - Luigi Mini Figure, or recreate and rescript entire scenes with the famous Mushroom Kingdom Castle Playset. Hurry and grab them before they're gone because the Mushroom Kingdom is calling your name! Super Mario Hot Wheels For my Mario inspired bottle, I decided to work with the red, green and pink bottles of Hawaiian Punch. I kept the label designs fairly simple, drawing inspiration from Mario and Luigi’s iconic blue overalls and Princess Peach’s pink dress. Naturally, given the park’s family-friendly setting there are also a couple of options for children. The hamburger meal even comes with a little Mario figure:

The menu is very limited and there are no seating options here: it’s more of a food stand than a proper dining area. The food is still good, though, and should still fill you up. There are eight main dishes on the menu, each themed on certain characters like Mario, Yoshi, Bowser and even the Fish Bones enemy (which made us do a double-take, but presumably it’s more fish than bones). The mushroom salt popcorn, while tasty, may be too salty for some. It has a very distinct mushroom flavour that is not overpowering, but also not subtle. It’s perhaps more of a traditional salted popcorn, though in our experience most salted popcorn in Japan has too much salt anyway so it’s not like this is doing anything wrong in that respect.

Step into the Mushroom Kingdom and bring the magic of Mario to life with our collection of action figures, plushies, and playsets. From Mario himself, with his iconic red cap and moustache, to Princess Peach and Bowser, our toys are sure to put a smile on your face faster than you can say "It's-a me, Mario!" So, grab your coins and power-ups, because it's time to level up your playtime with our Super Mario Bros. toys. Discover Our Range of Super Mario Toys We've got all your favourite characters and enemies from the games, such as a Chain Chomp Figure with all the cute and deadly charm seen in-game. You can recreate your favourite scenes from the games or create epic adventures with options like the Super Mario - Desert Playset and Mario Figure Kit. LEGO Super Mario Sets Naturally, the best place to get food in Super Nintendo World is Kinopio’s Cafe (Toad’s Cafe), which looks like a giant Toad House from the Super Mario series (they originally appeared in Super Mario Bros 3). It may look small on the outside, but when you step inside you’ll find a massive dining area with plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal. Kinopio’s Cafe (Toad’s Cafe) is the main restaurant in the park.

Mario Party Drinks:

We recently had my son’s 5 th birthday and he chose a Super Mario theme. When planning the menu, I recalled the small bottles of Hawaiian punch I had used at his sister’s cupcake themed first birthday and decided I would give the brightly colored drinks a Mario twist.
