From now till 24 July, Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport will be transformed into a real-life Rainbow Road for the Mario Kart Jewel Circuit Challenge. The event will feature various dynamic installations starring Mario, Luigi and the entire kart-racing crew, set against the airport’s iconic Forest Valley and Jewel Rain Vortex.
Visitors will be be wowed by a 5-meter centrepiece inspired by the Rainbow Road at the entrance to the Forest Valley, complete with a curved platform decorated with vibrant lights, and even a larger-than-life, 1.3-meter tall Banana.
To complete the Mario Kart experience, visitors can score an exclusive Mario Kart
sticker pack by collecting six stamps on a stamp rally card, which can be completed by visiting each Mario Kart Kart installation. The sticker packs come in a blind box
concept, with each pack containing a random mix of one character and three powerup items.
Visitors can also try their luck at the Gachapon machines located near Jewel’s Level 1 Concierge counter. Spend a minimum of S$80 in a single receipt at participating stores to redeem one token for a chance to play the Gachapon and win attractive prizes, including merchant vouchers, attraction tickets, retail discounts, and gift cards. Shoppers can also purchase a token at S$6 via the Changi App, or stand a chance to redeem free Tokens by sharing photos of their experience on social media.
Jewel’s Nintendo pop-up store will also make a return, now updated with more than 150 new and exclusive merchandise previously not available at the inaugural pop-up held in 2023. The Jewel pop-up in Singapore is the only spot outside Japan where fans can grab items from beloved games like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, and Pikmin.
Last but certainly not least, customers who check in to their Nintendo Account at the store
can collect special stickers. Each person can check in once a day and will receive one
sticker from the 18 designs available. To redeem, customers can log into their registered accounts and check-in to the store by scanning the QR code issued onto a tablet device located at the store’s entrance.
Faith Tan, Head of Leasing at Jewel Changi Airport Development, said “The first Nintendo pop-up at Jewel that took place in 2023 was a success, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Nintendo once again to bring this exciting experience back to our visitors.”
“Adding to our existing array of attractions, shops and restaurants, we are confident that the Nintendo collaboration will draw many visitors here and transform Jewel into a premier destination for families and travellers during this period, and especially for the June school holiday period.”
