The Harsh Reality: “Entry is NOT Guaranteed”
Here is the truth: Buying a normal ticket (Studio Pass) DOES NOT guarantee entry to the Mario Area.
Every day, confused tourists stand in front of the green pipe, blocked by staff because they didn’t have the “Area Timed Entry Ticket”. Don’t be them. Money can buy certainty.
The Solution: You Need TWO Tickets
To secure your entry 100%, you must buy two separate items. Many people forget #2 and get blocked.
⚠️ The “Double Ticket” Rule
- 🎟️ 1. Studio Pass (Entry Ticket): The ticket just to walk through the main gate.
(Mandatory for everyone) - ⚡ 2. Express Pass (Fast Track): The premium ticket to skip long lines AND guarantee entry to Super Nintendo World.
