Super Adventure Festival

Moto’s world-renowned Super Adventure Box returns again when the Super Adventure Festival kicks off on April 14!

Seek out strange glitches off the beaten path of each level to add a bonus chest to the level’s rewards for a chance to claim these unusual weapons, or buy them at a high price in Bauble Bubbles from the Super Adventure Box Weaponsmith. Tidy up the glitches in each level to earn new achievements and unlock the Mini Super Choya Miner at the Super Adventure Box Trader!
  • An Adventure course has been added to the race in the Super Adventure Box hub. Collect all the coins and compete for the fastest time!
