Nintendo Super Star Store
The Nintendo Super Star Store is a merchandise store located in Universal Epic Universe at Universal Orlando. It officially opened on May 22, 2025, the same day of the opening of Epic Universe. The store is located in Celestial Park, near the entrance to Super Nintendo World, and sells the same merchandise sold inside the area. It is themed around the Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda franchises.[1]
DesignEdit
The store's exterior is entirely white, with Bowser Jr., Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Donkey Kong, and Bowser sculpted on the sides of the entrances. Some items, such as Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Super Stars, Shine Sprites, and Power Moons, are also sculpted. Stained glass depicting both Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda characters is present near the main entrance. Outside the store, there is also a fountain with a statue of Mario on top and coins around.[1]
From the main entrance, visitors enter inside a circular room with more stained glass artworks, connected to the main room of the store via a hole in a wall of white and blue Hard Blocks. The interior of the store has a ceiling depicting Super Mario characters and objects as constellations, a floor with three tile designs representing the store's franchises, banners depicting Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda characters as their sprites from Super Mario Bros. and the first The Legend of Zelda game, respectively, and more wall sculptures (this time of Piranha Plants, Peach, and Daisy).[1]
