The rides
The standout of the new land is the Donkey Kong Country rollercoaster, Minecart-Madness.
Imagine blazing through one of the minecart levels from the video game franchise.
That’s what you’re getting with Minecart-Madness, which is not a traditional rollercoaster.
If you’re not a fan of rollercoasters, though, there’s plenty for you to ride.
On it, you basically ride on Yoshi’s back through a series of themed controls.
There’s not much to it, other than it’s a very pleasant and relaxing ride.
The games
The games are where Super Nintendo World shines, though.
With the addition of Yoshi’s Adventure and Minecart-Madness, there’s plenty more to do with them.
For instance, there are several Yoshi eggs hidden in the Yoshi’s Adventure ride.
You could earn anything from stacks of bananas to extra life balloons.
What you collect determines how many coins get added to your overall score.
If you’re looking to top the leaderboard, though, keep line times in mind.
After all, Yoshi’s Adventure easily fits into the Super Mario Land section of the park.
That, of course, can also be viewed as a downside.
After traversing all Donkey Kong Country had to offer, I wanted more.
Maybe they could eventually expand to include more character meet-and-greets or even another ride.
Where can I meet Cranky Kong?
Then again, maybe they could also extend into a new franchise under the Nintendo umbrella.
Where is our Legend of Zelda land and ride?
Regardless, Donkey Kong Country meets the hype and, in most cases, exceeds it.
