Question about Universal Studios Japan Express Passes

I have some flexible days at the beginning of my trip and was thinking about taking my kids to USJ. I really don’t understand the process of getting into Super Nintendo World. The site mentions these guidelines:

>●To enter SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, an “Universal Express Pass with an Area Timed Entry Ticket: Advance Booking” or “Area Timed Entry Ticket”/”Standby Entry Ticket” is required.>Distribution of “Area Timed Entry Tickets” may end early depending on conditions on the day of visit.>There may be times when entry is possible without an “Area Timed Entry Ticket: Advance Booking” or an “Area Timed Entry Ticket”/”Standby Entry Ticket”.>Attraction, restaurants, stores, or photo services in the area may be closed for the day or operations may be suspended without prior notice.※To acquire “Area Timed Entry Tickets” smoothly, we recommend downloading the official Universal Studios Japan app in advance.

As I scroll down this page, which is the page to buy express passes, there are many options with different dates and attractions available. First problem: none of them mention access into Super Nintendo World. Though a few of them do list attractions there (Yoshi, Mario Kart). Nothing that uses the above language of “Area Timed Entry Ticket.”

So then I try to proceed anyway, thinking I’ll figure it out at a later step. But no matter which pass I select, the calendar is totally full from today through the latest day with “Disabled” except for on July 4 which says “No Stock.” What is the difference between “Disabled” and “No Stock?”

What am I doing wrong here? Perhaps buying this pass through their website is not the ideal path?

Edit: Lastly, does everyone in my family need an express pass to get into the land at the same time as me? I think it’s very unlikely my young children will want to go on the Mario Kart ride. Only one is even tall enough. On the other hand I’d love to go on it.

2 scenarios I could see are: I get an express pass just for myself and go on Mario Kart alone, hoping they can get into the land with me and my wife still because they love the characters. Or. I get an express pass for myself to get on Mario Kart and I get a different pass for them to get on Yoshi. There doesn’t appear to be a pass that covers both. This would give us different Area access times.

Ideally we can all get into the land together. Rides are a secondary concern.
