New Mario Toys Now Available With McDonald's Happy Meals

Eight figures in all are available.

34 Comments

Nintendo has again partnered with McDonald's to offer toys based on its franchises with Happy Meals.

From now until May 22, Happy Meal purchases will come with one of eight different toys. They may lack the same level of appeal or functionality of Amiibo figures, but they do each have a "special function." The translucent Mario, for instance, can light up different colors.

No Caption Provided

This isn't the first time Nintendo toys have been offered with Happy Meals. Previous partnerships brought us toys based on Mario Kart 8, Mario, Pokemon, and more.

McDonald's is also offering the chance to win a Nintendo Switch and a copy of the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Making a purchase at McDonald's and registering it in the restaurant chain's mobile app will provide you with one entry in the sweepstakes, while Happy Meal purchases will net you two entries. Alternatively, you can simply send an email once per day between now and May 22 to receive free entries. There are 100 bundles in all up for grabs, and the full rules (and instructions for obtaining those free entries) can be seen here.

If you're in more of a hurry to get your hands on a Switch, GameStop has a limited number in stock today. Both Best Buy and Toys R Us will have the system available in limited quantities this Friday to coincide with the launch of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Just an FYI, you can buy the toys without having to buy the happy meal...

@Thanatos2k: Mr. Hate Goggles!!!

Now you're taking your own quotes and making it seem like Nintendo said them?

You level of trolling has hit an all time low.

@JustinGoSka: Those were pretty cool. I still have them back home, somewhere. I wonder if I had them all?

@xolivierx: I remember Luigi was like in a cloud, with a starman or something? I think it was supposed to be demonstrating the cloud you could use to skip over stages.

@Ovirew: Yeah, here they are. The only one I never had was the Goomba. I got the Paratroopa at a yard sale I think.

@JustinGoSka: I got rid of mines when I was younger. I wish I had kept them. The flopping goomba was cool. Did both Mario and Luigi have the spring mecanism?

So all I have to do is buy GMO and chemical laced franken-food to get a free plastic toy that is worth about 13 cents?! Sign me up!

Feeding a child McDonalds slop is worse than letting them smoke.

Maybe a little less effort marketing for systems you don't have and a little more effort producing said systems.

Those Mario toys in happy meals will go over way better than the Xbox One consoles did.
