Happy Mar10 Day — I pulled up to Universal Studios Hollywood on a beautiful gray day to do the most important things: get into Super Nintendo World, snag some pics, test my Mario Kart score, and eat like I’m hungrier than 20 Marios. I also had a side quest: see if that Fast & Furious coaster was running, because this park is small-small compared to Florida, and any big new coaster is a huge deal for Hollywood. Once I got down there, the vibe hit like it always does — I’ve accepted it’s not “Orlando Mario World,” but walking into this land never stops being awesome. I hit Toadstool Cafe (Chef Toad’s, you already know) and went straight for the Mario Burger, then tried the new Rosalina / Mario Galaxy cupcake. Universal keeps proving they know how to make a cupcake: super rich, tons of icing, fruity mousse vibes, and that middle filling is doing the heavy lifting. Then the day peaked with a literal celebrity sighting — I met Yoshi. Fast & Furious didn’t come out to play, but it was still an elite Mario Day: good food, Mario Kart wins, and California sun energy.
