Miyamoto gives us a look of some of Super Nintendo World's interactive elements, including how you can use your Power Up Band to punch blocks and collect coins. Miyamoto also shows us one of the Key Challenges you can play to gain even more coins! Expect to find these activities all over the new land, you're going to have to hunt them out, just watch out for the Bob-ombs!

We also get a tour inside Bowser's Castle, with its giant Bowser statue and the Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge ride. This new attraction will take you right into a Mario Kart game thanks to rather impressive ride glasses.
