If you want to make the most out of Super Nintendo World then you need to purchase a Power-Up Band.

Themed after six of Super Mario's best loved characters, you can use these bands to play interactive games, collect keys, and take on Bowser Jr. in the Final Boss Shadow Challenge. The Power-Up Bands also allow you to collect coins and stickers as you discover all the fun things from around the land.

We would recommend downloading the Universal Studios Hollywood App and purchasing the band before you head into the venue, just so you can get into all the fun straight away.

If you don't, or simply want to purchase your Power-Up Band, in the cutest way possible, then Super Nintendo World has a set of vending machines you can purchase them from. The touch-screen machines are located next to the Piranha Plant Nap Mishap Key Challenge.
