Those visiting Super Nintendo World will find all things Mario, Luigi and the rest of the Mario Kart characters in the 1 Up Factory store.

Located towards the back right of the land, close to Toadstool Cafe you can get everything you might ever want. There's huge Mario and Luigi hats, perfect for when you get that all important photos with the characters.

You can get t-shirts sporting your favourite characters, key rings and figures. There's a set of 4 brightly coloured cups that you can collect and fans of Yoshi can even buy a rather adorable green baseball style hat featuring his face. There's also a reversible cushion that's exclusive to the park. It starts out as a Question Mark block then transforms into a Superstar!

According to the Senior Director of Retail Operations Ismael Aguirre the Power-Up Bands are the most popular merchandise item that guests are taking home with them. The $40 wristband allows you to interact with the land (more on that later) and come themed to your favourite characters.

If you're going to buy one thing in the park, this is definitely the one souvento get. When we spoke to Ismael Aguirre he informed us that no particular band is outselling the other, so just like Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, it's close competition between your favourite characters.

If you want to pick up some of the merchandise outside of the land, CityWalk has its own store and you can also grab some bits in the main park.
