Super Nintendo World is opening in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka this summer. The Mario-themed park is set to be one of the most tech-heavy in the world, featuring wearable ‘Power Up Bands’ that sync to visitors smartphones to track their activities as they walk around. The park is set to open ahead of the 2020 Olympic games this summer, and plans have been kept largely under wraps so far. But on Tuesday, Universal Studios Japan released their promo video for the park, which features Charli XCX and Galantis’s track.
