- Early reviews have been positive about Universal's Super Nintendo World, which brings the Mario Bros. alive.
- Critics have reacted negatively to the park's flagship ride due to its size restrictions.
- Super Mario World will open in Florida on February 17.
Universal's Super Nintendo World, Florida, is set to open in the latter part of this month. It has been praised for creating a vibrant gaming environment.
However, the Mario Kart ride's flagship has been criticized for its size. Its seat limit restricts riders to those with waists less than 40 inches.
"Nothing but beautiful things to say about Super Nintendo World, except this: The body size limitations for the Mario Kart ride on Super Nintendo World are absolutely ridiculous," tweeted Rocco Botte on Twitter, a prominent gaming influencer. "I have never had any issues fitting in any ride in my life and this one is no exception. It's completely absurd.

Park-goers can experience a virtual reality ride that takes them through a race track using a slow-moving, attached kart to a rail. Universal has released a safety handbook that advises that this ride is not suitable for riders with waists greater than 40 inches.
The restrictions on four other rides in the park are similar to those at the park, prompting online discussion about limited accessibility at theme parks.
"Man, Universal Studios' Mario Kart ride at Universal Studios is a bummer! One user posted the following tweet.

Others found humor in the situation, and even some hostility towards the ride's accessibility.
"How can the Mario Kart ride at Universal be limited in size when it's inspired from the game where Bowser, DK and Wario drive the karts without any problems?" One user wrote.
