Nintendo pop-up store and Mario Kart fun return to Jewel Changi Airport

[output_post_excerpt]

Get ready for a supercharged experience at Jewel Changi Airport! The hugely popular Nintendo Pop-Up Store is back, bigger and better than ever, bringing many exciting Mario Kart-themed activities and attractions. This isn’t just a return; it’s a full-blown collaboration between Nintendo and Jewel, transforming the airport into a vibrant gaming paradise.

A treasure trove of Nintendo merchandise

The Pop-Up Store itself is a must-visit for any Nintendo fan. You’ll find over 500 items, including more than 150 products exclusive to this pop-up. Many are usually only available in Japan, so this is a rare chance to get your hands on unique merchandise. Expect a wide selection of items from popular Nintendo franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, and Pikmin. You’ll also receive a collectable postcard featuring a unique design for every S$100 spent in a single transaction (while stocks last; receipts can’t be combined).

But the fun doesn’t stop at the Pop-Up Store. Jewel Changi Airport itself has been transformed into a real-life Rainbow Road! The “Mario Kart Jewel Circuit Challenge” features several interactive installations across all five mall levels. Prepare to be amazed by a massive 5m x 4m centrepiece – one of Jewel’s largest installations – and a 1.3 m-tall Banana item from the game.

Explore the various installations, collect a unique stamp at each one, and complete your stamp rally card. Once you’ve collected all six stamps, head to the Level 1 Concierge to claim your exclusive Mario Kart sticker pack. Each surprise box contains one character sticker (Yoshi, Peach, Luigi, or Mario) and three randomly selected power-up stickers.

Win prizes and more!

There’s even more excitement in store! A Gachapon machine near the Level 1 Concierge offers a chance to win amazing prizes like vouchers, attraction tickets, discounts, and gift cards. You can earn a token by spending a minimum of S$80 (approximately US$58) at participating Jewel stores – Mastercard users get a bonus token! – or purchase a token directly via the Changi app for S$6 (approximately US$4).

From 1 to May 12, you can also win a free token by participating in a photo challenge. Take pictures of the Mario Kart installations, share them on social media, follow Jewel’s social media accounts, and show the post to the Concierge staff to enter.

The Nintendo Pop-Up Store and Mario Kart Jewel Circuit Challenge run until July 24. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to experience the magic of Nintendo at Jewel Changi Airport! Visit the official website for more details.
