Universal\u2019s newest Florida-based theme park \u2014 Epic Universe<\/a> \u2014 is full of thrills, games, family-friendly attractions, character meetings, themed food, and more!<\/p>\n

\"\"Epic Universe<\/p>\n

But did you know that you can actually unlock a hidden mode on one of the attractions if you score so badly? Let\u2019s talk about how you can unlock a secret mode and which attraction you can find it on\u2026and yes, I\u2019m really outing myself here.<\/p>\n

Super Nintendo World<\/a> is home to several themed rides, including Mario Kart: Bowser\u2019s Challenge<\/a>. On this attraction, guests will put on special goggles and steer through the iconic Mario Kart courses alongside Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mario Kart: Bowser\u2019s Challenge<\/p>\n

During your ride, you\u2019ll be a part of Team Mario, collecting digital coins and throwing shells to try to defeat Team Bowser and win the Golden Cup. Every time I\u2019ve ridden this attraction, Team Mario has won\u2026well, until now.<\/p>\n

\"\"Your Kart!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear\u2026 I did not lose \u2014 I would NEVER score low enough where Mario WOULDN\u2019T win, but I have heard of someone who has\u2026 (wink, wink; nudge, nudge)<\/p>\n

\"\"Inside the queue<\/p>\n

When you play the game, everyone in your car will get points based on how well you navigate the course, if you get boosters along the way, and the number of coins you collect. If you can collect over 100 coins, congrats \u2014 you and the rest of Mario\u2019s Team win!<\/p>\n

\"\"Emma & I on Mario Kart: Bowser\u2019s Challenge<\/p>\n

But if your team manages to collect less than 100 coins, Team Bowser will take the podium, and you\u2019ll be serenaded with the iconic \u2018womp womp\u2019 Super Mario Bros. soundtrack.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bowser!<\/p>\n

This hidden mode can only be unlocked if EVERYONE collectively scores under 100 coins. If you want to experience this secret mode on purpose, we suggest doing it with your whole party, so you don\u2019t alter the experience for others. Each Mario Kart holds four guests, so if you have a group of four and don\u2019t mind losing, go for it \u2014 although you\u2019d never find me throwing a competition.<\/p>\n
