Back by popular demand, the Nintendo pop-up retails over 500 items including more than 150 new and exclusive merchandise previously not available at the inaugural pop-up held in Jewel in 2023, which had received resounding response. The Jewel pop-up in Singapore is the only spot outside Japan where fans can grab items from beloved games like Super Mario, the island life of Animal Crossing, the epic adventures of The Legend of Zelda, the ink-credible world of Splatoon, and the charming explorations of Pikmin. Fans can also purchase a limited-edition Nintendo themed T-shirt commemorating the Jewel store’s opening. The Jewel Nintendo pop-up is located at Level 4 and will be available from today till 24 July.

Race through the Mario Kart Jewel Circuit Challenge

From today till 24 July, Jewel transforms into a real-life Rainbow Road with the Mario Kart Jewel Circuit Challenge, inspired by the familiar race course from the Mario Kart 8 game series! Visitors can explore various dynamic installations starring Mario, Luigi and the entire kart-racing crew set against the lush backdrop of the Forest Valley and the majestic Jewel Rain Vortex.

Prepare to be wowed by a centrepiece measuring 5 metres by 4 metres at the entrance to the Forest Valley – one of Jewel’s biggest installations ever! Watch vibrant lights race across its curved platform, recreating the thrill of the Rainbow Road, while the iconic Mario Kart soundtrack fills the air, transporting visitors straight into the game. Keep your eyes peeled for the larger-than-life Banana, standing tall at 1.3 metres – a playful nod to everyone’s favourite Mario Kart hazard!

To complete the Mario Kart experience, visitors can score an exclusive Mario Kart sticker pack by collecting six stamps on a stamp rally card. Visit the different Mario Kart installations located around Jewel (Hint: these can be found from Levels 1 to 5!) to find the six unique stamp collection points. The sticker packs come in a blind box concept with each pack containing a random mix of one character and three power-up items. Fans can look forward to a total of four different characters and five power-ups in the entire collection.
