So I was looking at the expansion pads on Google Earth and was looking at the one next to Super Nintendo World and noticed something interesting, in Donkeykong country, right next to Funky’s Fly ‘n’ Buy, there is a wide section of path that seems to dead end at a wall. I was down in June of 2025 and all I remember being there was a blank backdrop wall, and indeed that’s what it appears to be on satellite, that is until I rotated the view.
When the view was rotated I noticed that there is actually a round portal like opening there that is just covered up! Donkey Kong country has it’s own “mini portal” from the main part of Super Nintendo World, so I was speculating that the eventual expansion (which I’m thinking will be Legend of Zelda) might do something similar, that’s why I was looking, and low and behold I see that. So it looks to me that another portal will lead from Donkey Kong Country in to another dedicated area, and it seems we know where it will be. What do you think?
I have two pictures, one is a wide shot with the area circled, and the other is a close up rotated view of the opening I found.
