Super Nintendo World (UOR) - General Discussion Thread

M&G Toad hasn't been seen since sporadic one-off appearances in late 2025, and M&G Donkey Kong had limited slimmed-down offerings for the first quarter of 2026 and has recently been cut nearly completely. Mario and Luigi, and Princess Peach upstairs are the only two characters still available from opening day.

Word is that the majority of the Toad costumes have been broken since before Epic's opening day, and have only gotten to be more of an issue with time. And it seems like DK is having similar issues. There does not seem to be plans to bring these characters back in the short-term.

There were potentially conversations between UDX and Nintendo regarding retaining the Yoshi M&G from the Galaxy promotion as a short-term replacement for Toad / DK. Yoshi did stick around for a week or two longer than was advertised. But obviously, if those conversations ever did end up happening, we know the end result of those talks anyway. Yoshi is not available at Epic anymore either.

Yoshi not being a mainstay is pants on head stupid.

He's one of the most well known characters and would definitely be more of a draw than Toad, why the hell are they insistent on making him some limited event? It's Yoshi! He has a ride!

I agree completely. I really don't understand why he's not a permanent meet and greet. He's incredibly popular...I can't figure it out.

What’s so elaborate about them that would cause them to break?

I'm not certain on the exact details myself. There are a very small number of Toad costume pieces though, so even if it was just a simple issue with how they were fabricated initially, or damage caused because of the way they were being worn/used early on, that'd be potentially enough to decommission them all.

Can’t let the hat fall off.

The other mystery is how is there not a Bowser meet and greet, if anyone says scale issue, I would point out SSB clearly puts him about the size of Donkey Kong, just don’t have him out with the Plumbers and it won’t be an issue, or at the very least have a Bowser Jr meet and greet. Give the villains some love.

You don’t even have to use SSB. Within the Mario series itself his size varies, sometimes within a single game like Super Mario Odyssey. It’s widely accepted and I think somewhat confirmed that he can magically adjust his size.

As I mentioned in the Hollywood thread, Nintendo is so damn weird about how these characters are used.

Bowser is one of the only characters in history to appear in both Disney and Universal animation. How’s that for weird?

Absolutely zero chance we don’t see Zelda in some capacity whether it be a land, mini land, singular attraction or show etc. Link is coming, just a matter of where, when, and what level of budget they throw at it.
