Power-Up Band Key Challenges
Bowser Jr. has stolen the Golden Mushroom. With a Power-Up Band on your wrist, you play games all over SUPER NINTENDO WORLD to collect three keys. Then the final battle awaits.
The concept
The Power-Up Band is a wristband you buy separately. With it you tap blocks, collect virtual coins and items and take part in the Key Challenges: interactive games spread across the area. It feels as if you are standing in a Super Mario game yourself.
The Experience
Once you have three keys, you gain access to the Final Challenge: the Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown. With your group you take on the craftiest rascal in the Mushroom Kingdom. Until 11 January 2027 inclusive, there is an anniversary version with an extra power-up for the fifth anniversary (dates may change).

Link the official app
In the app you can see your score, coins and digital stamps. The app is not compulsory.
Play together
You take on the final battle against Bowser Jr. as a group. According to USJ, it is suitable from age 5.
Visitor information
You need a Power-Up Band (for a fee). You buy it at the cart in front of Super Star Plaza. At the Universal Studios Store you can have your name engraved on it, on the day of your visit and while stocks last. Please note: the band does not give access to the area. On busy days you need an Area Timed Entry Ticket for SUPER NINTENDO WORLD. You get it in the official app once you are in the park, or you buy an Express Pass with guaranteed entry in advance. Read more on our page about tickets.
More than a souvenir
With a Power-Up Band you get much more out of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD. You can also check your score at special checkpoints. At the Meet-Up with Mario and his friends, the band sometimes brings extra surprises.
