As a lifelong Nintendo enthusiast and Donkey Kong fanatic, I must say that the latest details unveiled about Super Nintendo World‘s Donkey Kong Country expansion have truly sent my Banana-o-meter soaring! After years of anticipation, finally getting an opening date for this incredible expansion is a dream come true.
In a unique Nintendo Direct presentation, some fresh insights were shared about the Super Nintendo World’s upcoming Donkey Kong Country expansion. This new part of Super Nintendo World, which has been under development at Universal Studios Japan for quite a while, now has a confirmed launch date: December 11th. As previously announced, this extension will be accessible from day one at Epic Universe in Orlando next year. Upon its opening, Donkey Kong Country enthusiasts can anticipate a host of exciting experiences, such as a new ride, diverse dining and shopping options, and iconic landmarks based on the video game series. There will also be opportunities for character interactions, like a photo opportunity with the famous ape.
The Nintendo Direct presentation can be found in the video below.
In this new setup, Donkey Kong Country will merge with Super Mario Land. As guests walk through the entrance, they’ll be treated to tunes from both series. During the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Shigeru Miyamoto was spotted entering while “DK Island Swing” played. Upon entry, guests will spot various attractions inspired by the games such as a crate adorned with Rambi’s image and a trio of bongo drums. If three guests synchronize their rhythm simultaneously, Rambi will pop out to welcome them. Throughout the expansion, you can search for the letters “KONG,” which are just like in the games, and use your Power-Up Bands, including the newly designed ones based on Donkey Kong and Diddy, to scan them.
At the Jungle Beat Shakes stall, you’ll discover new food items themed around Nintendo! The DK Wild Hot Dog is topped with avocado sauce and seems to have Cool Ranch Doritos on it. Additionally, there’s the DK Crush Sundae, reminiscent of a broken barrel, served in a barrel-themed collector’s mug. For Donkey Kong enthusiasts seeking more merchandise, head over to Funky’s Fly ‘n’ Buy! This store offers unique items such as plushes based on DK and Diddy Kong, available exclusively here.
The main attraction of the Donkey Kong Country expansion is set to be a mine cart ride inspired by the game levels. As you approach the ride, you’ll encounter murals reminiscent of Donkey Kong Country Returns and the original DK arcade game. The pathway leading up to the ride will also showcase animatronics featuring Cranky Kong and Squawks, who will challenge riders to drive away the Tiki Tak Tribe and Tiki Tong. The storyline revolves around the villains trying to swipe the Golden Banana, but the video didn’t provide a glimpse into how the ride will unfold or replicate the broken track segments from the games. Instead, we only catch a quick glimpse of takeoff, where Dixie Kong makes an appearance.

With its opening in Japan just around the corner, we might soon see more updates about the park, maybe through social media posts featuring photos and videos. Until then, this Nintendo Direct has given us a sneak peek at the progress being made.
