The concept

You enter the huge Golden Temple and climb into a mine cart, just like in the Donkey Kong Country games. You race through the mine to keep the Golden Banana safe. Donkey Kong Country is the jungle area of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, with waterfalls, the temple and Funky Kong's market around his plane.

The Experience

The ride is packed with tricks from the games: your cart seems to jump over gaps in the track and pull off other crazy stunts. The ride is fast and full of surprises, but suitable for the whole family.

Discover Mine-Cart Madness

Watch the track

It looks as if your cart is jumping over gaps in the track. Watch closely to see how it works.

Visit the temple

You board at the Golden Temple. It's well worth a photo from the outside, too.

Go early

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD is very popular. Queues are usually shorter in the first hour of the day.

Visitor information

You must be at least 1.02 metres tall. With a Universal Express Pass (sold separately) you skip the regular queue. Note: the free Express Unlimited offered by a number of Universal hotels is not valid at Epic Universe.

Donkey Kong for real

Mine-Cart Madness is a real must for families. After the ride, you can grab a drink at The Bubbly Barrel in Donkey Kong Country. If you have a Power-Up Band, play the games around the land too and collect keys.
