For me personally it’s worth it as you can use it in other parks as well. To be honest it’s definitely necessary in Japan as they have note block rock, bombom kaboom room and the slot machine where Hollywood is quite small in comparison.
I went last Friday and got a Mario band. I lost it by the end of the day because the bracelet part is horrible. I had to report it to Lost & Found. They miraculously found my band and returned it to me by mail. Just wish the band was like the Disneyland Magic Bands. Those are more like a regular watch band that clips on.
Exactly my thoughts yesterday March 15th 2023 we went with my sister, I got the yoshi band and she got the toad band and yes I see how easily you could lose it. :(
I got the gold Mario power up band at USJ. It was totally worth it. Truly that's the way the park was designed to be accessed, otherwise you're just waiting in lines for the rides or spending money at the shops. I wish I had more time; after collecting the keys the park was closing and I didn't have an opportunity to go to Bowser Jr. My timed entry to Nintendo World was at 5pm, so two hours is definitely not enough time to visit the area.
I would totally get one once Epic Universe opens, it reminds me of the interactive wands in the Wizarding World, I've always had one rule going to the Universal Parks, if you're not gonna immerse yourself in Super Nintendo World or the Wizarding World, then that's not a perfect day at Universal.
Can you share a band? Everyone take turns with one band? Will they let your whole group into Bowser? Also do you have to complete the challenge in one day? We are going for two days
Geez, you already pay a high price for admission and potentially an extra $30 if you get Early Access. Besides you'll most likely buy merch. That should be enough for you to get 100% of the experience, having to pay an extra $40 for this wrist band is ridiculous.
Just went to universal studios. To see Mario world. I think the power up band is an interesting idea but once you leave the area it’s useless. So I just bought a t shirt and toadstool 🍄 hat for souvenirs.
The good part is the bands do work in Japan too. And the bands are cheaper in Japan because of the exchange rate. Finally, Mario World in Japan is bigger than the one here. The kart ride is longer too with better AR hats.
Would someone be able to do the Boss Battle (the one at 2:20 in this video) if they didn't have a power up band? I don't mean the part about earning the key, but could you do anything physically to just have fun? We bought power up bands at preview last weekend, but the line for the battle was too long, and one of my friends is asking what things they couldn't do if they didn't buy a band
The Bowser Jr. Boss Battle has a scanner at the front of the attraction where guests tap their power-up bands. If you’ve completed all 3 it will grant you entry. However, if you don’t have a band or haven’t completed all the tasks, ask the Team Member at the front of the experience if you can enter anyway. Depending on space you may be able to
Can we connect more than one band to the app? For example, as a family of 4 with two kids who don’t have their own phones, can we connect their bands to my app as well?
3 hours? I think you’re severely underestimating it.. We spent over 8 hours in there, lol. My son was like a kid in a candy store and I had a blast reliving nostalgic childhood memories. The bands are totally worth it given how much money most people are already spending on tickets, flights and hotels assuming they’re on vacation, etc. What’s an extra $40 on top of 2k? But I only have one kid.. 3 definitely puts more of a strain on your budget.
Yes!! It would be great if you could redeem, points for physical Super NINTENDO World items. Like other places do exchange tickets for prices.
You already have to pay admission to the park and then have to pay another $40 for the wristband. That is not cool, in my opinion.
Yeah at that point it gets pricier than even Disney

Aww jealous you got the gold one! Wish they did that in Hollywood or had a way to buy them online.
Peach of course! Going Saturday!!!❤
Nintendo World looks soo cool & FUNN! ✨🏰🍄🐢♥️
Definitely a Mario Band. Wish they had a Bowser one
not having a Bowser band is a crime

Daisy for me
40 bucks though.
I'd either get Yoshi or Toad
Thanks keep the videos coming!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I would get youshi band
I like that one!

If you have a switch (me), it can be used as an ammibo
I’m gonna get the Yoshi one.
Jason wants that one, too!
@@DavidVaughn I wish they had some with the bad guys too. 😆
I have the gold one ($54)
My name speaks for itself
Do I need the app for the power up band to work?
Can my family link multiple wristbands with just one phone and one app?
You can link multiple accounts per app! Me and my little sister both only use my phone, each band chooses their own player name, pose, and background
Do you know if people are re-selling their bands? I guess it depends on whether it's re-programmable to a new account/profile?
I haven’t heard of anyone reselling their old one. But you can unlink it from your account
Does anyone know if these are reusable.
By that I mean can I give/sell/loan my used power up band and someone else sync it to their app and use it?
Yes I watched another video and she said she borrowed a friend’s band who had been before.
Does this band work in Universal Japan?

I’m getting the Luigi band I mean it is obvious since I am a huge fan of Luigi
I thought you were going to say: since I’m the little brother 😅
@@MelysLoilipop No WAY I JUST LOVE LUIGI Ok?

Did you guys know that there is a golden power up band as an exclusive.
It looks so cool! That came out after I made this video
In my opinion it ain't that worth it for 40 dollar plus tax but that's just my opinion I agree with everyone opinions here
Can we connect more than one band to the app? For example, as a family of 4 with two kids who don’t have their own phones, can we connect their bands to my app as well?
Yes you can. Scan the bands to the one phone and set your character.
When it opens on the Grand opening will the Power-Bands get cheaper?
I don’t think so. I think that’s just the price
Im Disappointed that they dont have the Bowser Power Band
They should make one!
I’ll get yoshi
I love that one
My Main & Secondary Power-Up Bands.
Main: Team Luigi
Secondary: Team Yoshi
What are the digit coins useful for?
They have no use
I can’t afford the power band guess I’ll cancel my ticket
I will be buying princess peach my daughter and I want Luigi 🙂
I love seeing a Luigi fan!
Gonna get a Luigi band and turn it into Waluigi
Toad
🍄
Not getting one till wario or Waluigi get one
Then they cost $40 each

Have 3 kids. Just buy one.. to much waste of money for 3 hours😅
