With summer quickly approaching, the grand opening of Epic Universe is right around the corner. Previews of this brand new theme park have begun, and we are already obsessed with what we’ve seen through vlogs. If you’ve been reading our blog for a while, you already know that I am a huge fan of the Nintendo ™ franchise. I am beyond excited for this portal, not just because of Super Nintendo World™, but because of the Donkey Kong Country expansion.
It’s been on my vision board to visit this new theme park, and soon, that dream will become a reality. We will be attending Epic Universe in August! While it’s very exciting, my first thought was, “Oh my gosh, we are going to melt!” If you’re like me, dressing up at theme parks is part of the fun and most of the time enhances my experience there. But, going to Florida during one of the hottest months of the year poses a slight style challenge.
So, we’ve put together some outfits that will still keep you cool while staying on theme. We tried to find pieces that you could wear to represent many characters within this fandom. If you would like us to plan something more geared to your style, size, and interests, check out our customized outfit planning services! We can help plan something for you or your entire family!
Mario, Luigi, and Toad Outfit Idea for Epic Universe
If you’re wanting to represent your favorite plumber brother without layering with overalls, this two piece set is the way to go. It still gives the illusion of their iconic threads, but won’t make you regret your decision when it’s 110 degrees. Luckily, Toad and Mario share the same color scheme, so it’s very easy to display your favorite cutie from the Mushroom Kingdom by adding in some mushroom-inspired jewelry.
We chose headbands to tie in the Mario Bro’s hats, but silk scrunchies and hair clips would definitely work if you’re wanting to keep the hair off of your neck during the hot day. Bioworld does it again with this question mark crossbody, making us wonder if there is any more room for very niche purses in our closet. The necklace reminded me of gold coins you can collect in games, and we added the white nail polish to represent their white gloves! And pssttttt…this would also be a great choice if you wanted to take some cute photos in Celestial park! Just take off the headband, and leave the bag out of the picture!
Yoshi Outfit for Epic Universe
Ah, my favorite green dinosaur. I was so excited to hear that we were getting Yoshi’s Adventure at Epic Universe. Super Mario World™ is my favorite Mario Bros. game, and that is largely because they introduced Yoshi. He’s just so adorable, and I loved playing Yoshi’s Island when that was released. In our family, he is a favorite pick when choosing a Mario Kart character.
His colors are so fun and vibrant that we wanted to make sure that this outfit mirrored those characteristics! I chose a flower hair clip because it just made me think of the flora you can find on Yoshi’s Island, and the stud earrings represent crossing the finish line in Mario Kart, obviously in 1st place. As of right now, you can’t meet Yoshi at Epic Universe, but during Universal’s Fan Fest Night in Universal Hollywood, they debuted not one, but TWO Yoshi Meet & Greets, along with an adorable scavenger hunt. Fingers crossed that it makes its way over to Orlando!
Donkey & Diddy Kong Outfit Idea for Epic Universe
Okay, I must confess, I was completely addicted to this game when it was released in 1994. Donkey Kong Country was the game I could NOT put down. It didn’t help that there weren’t a lot of saving points throughout the levels. (I get it, Candy Kong was a queen who couldn’t be bothered, and I respect that.) One of the most challenging levels for me at the time was the Mine Cart Carnage. The way I would scream when I couldn’t complete the jump at the end. But like a lot of kids, I always thought that it would make a fun roller coaster, and to see this idea come to fruition is incredible. I cannot wait to explore this land!

If you are like me and love the look of an athletic dress, but don’t like the idea of what happens when you wear one and have to go to the bathroom…then this outfit is for you! It’s actually a two piece set that looks just like a dress. My favorite part of Diddy Kong’s outfit is his hat, which makes for a superb choice of hair accessory for this look. If you’d rather pick Donkey Kong as your guy, On the Map Hats has you covered either way. The banana crossbody does have a face on the front, but we think it’s still cute if you flip it around to show the back. We also listed a strap in the links, as the reviews state that it runs a little tight! Bananas are a great accessory to weave into this theme. Stars represent Diddy Kong’s hat and Candy Kong’s barrels, and Rambi the Rhino happens to be my favorite animal sidekick, which you can find in the land!
Princess Peach Outfit Idea for Epic Universe
I have already confessed to not being a fan of Princess Peach until the Super Mario Bros. movie was released in 2023. You can read all about why here, but I DO love her now! We leaned into her Mario Kart racing side for this look. We actually have a few other options for Peach on other blog posts, so make sure you check those out too! No matter which one you go with, you’re going to look fabulous in front of her castle!
We hope that these outfits inspire you or help bring you some ideas if you’re in a pinch! We can’t wait to explore this new world on our own. I’ll be sure to bring you along with us and share what I end up wearing!
Until then, remember, theme park fashion doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to make you smile!
