6. A real challenge! Shigure-den SP to experience Hyakunin Isshu with colorful visions.

Located in the center of the 1st floor experience area, the Shigure Den SP stands out from the crowd. Using a special smartphone, visitors can search for the last phrase of a tanka poem on the floor vision screen.

When I find a tag, I rush to take a quick shot with my smartphone's camera. The quicker I can take a picture, the more points I can get, so I get really into it (laughs).

7. Feel good about hitting the ground running! Zapper & Scope SP

Mario's world unfolds on a giant screen in front of you. You can choose between a zapper, which is easy to fire in rapid succession, and a superscope, which is easy to aim at enemies such as Clibo and Sawtooth Mushrooms. This time, we chose the cool-looking zapper. The realistic feeling of being in the game world is unbearable!

8. The recreated Showa-era home is also a highlight! Ultra Machine SP

The "Ultra Machine" is an indoor pitching machine released in 1968. The six rooms with different interiors are said to have been designed to resemble homes at the time of its release. The player hits back fastballs, curves, and other pitches one after another with a bat.

The ball count goes up when you hit a specific piece of furniture. Its location is a secret, so you have to actually go there and discover it. You can enjoy the immorality and exhilaration of hitting the ball inside the house!

9. Let's set off a big firework with Ultra Hand SP!

A game using the "Ultra Hand," a toy released in the Showa period. The Ultra Hand, which extends when the handle is closed, is used to grab small and large balls flowing down the lane and into the clay pipe.

It looks simple, but when you actually use it, it is surprisingly difficult and a struggle.... When the ball enters the clay pipe, a firework goes off at the end, and the contents of the firework changes depending on the difficulty level of the ball you grab. It is a wonderful fusion of analog toys and the latest technology...as one would expect!

⚫︎ required coins / 1 coin

10. The Big Controller, a breathtaking challenge.

The controllers of Nintendo's previous game consoles, such as the NES, NINTENDO 64, and Wii, have been transformed into giant controllers, making you feel like a dwarf! It's as if you've become a dwarf, and playing games in pairs is as fresh as a new game, allowing you to experience the fun of playing together. It's a thrilling experience to watch others play together.

⚫︎ required coins / 2 coins per person
