Universal Orlando Resort is set to introduce Super Nintendo World as part of the new Epic Universe theme park in 2025. The resort shared details about the new addition, which will offer attractions, dining options, shopping experiences, and interactive activities all inspired by the popular Super Mario franchise.

Characters like Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach will also be a part of the experience, making it an immersive adventure for fans of the games.
In addition to the Super Mario-themed area, Super Nintendo World will also include a Donkey Kong Country section where guests can interact with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The resort has revealed that there will be several attractions within Super Nintendo World, including Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Yoshi’s Adventure, and Mine-Cart Madness. Guests can enjoy sweet treats at Yoshi’s Snack Island and Turbo Boost Treats, or grab a meal at Toadstool Cafe.

On a different note, there has been growing concern over the mental health of Indian students following the deaths of 10 students since the beginning of 2024. These students have died due to suicide, accidental overdose, or disappearing, with their bodies being discovered days later. This string of tragedies has sparked a conversation within the Indian community about the mental well-being of students, emphasizing the importance of addressing mental health issues among young people.
