Super Nintendo World feels like a giant love letter to the Mario games, particularly Super Mario 64, the franchise’s first 3D entry. Huge mushrooms create shaded areas to sit, giant Petey Piranhas seem to sway in the wind, and glowing question blocks are dotted around just begging to be jumped into.

Just like everywhere else in the park, The Toadstool Cafe goes big on the Mushroom Kingdom visuals, with the menu including items like the Super Mushroom Soup and the Mario and Luigi Burgers .The real highlight of Toadstool Cafe has to be the desserts though, with the triple-layer Mt Beanpole Cake a must-eat while you visit.
