Nintendo has teamed up with McDonald’s a number of times previously, and that’s the case once again with new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe toys in Happy Meals.

Ten different toys are up for grabs. You’ve got Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, Pink Gold Peach, and Gold Mario. The bases can actually be swapped, and karts can be customized with a sticker sheet.

Just announced for Japan is a new collaboration between Nintendo and McDonald’s for Kirby toys with Happy Meals.

Eight different toys are planned that, naturally, are all about Kirby himself. Different poses will be available including the Cone Mouth. We’ll also mention that one toy is for Waddle Dee. Also, these are actually more like plushies – they aren’t plastic.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has a few months to go until its debut (you can see the latest trailer here by the way), but it looks like McDonald’s already has a big promotion planned – at least in Japan.

A flyer is starting to be distributed at the restaurant revealing that toys will be included with Happy Meals in just a few weeks. Two (well, technically three) waves will be happening. The first features Mario, Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong. The second has Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and a character that isn’t currently named but seems to be some kind of Luma. For the third round, it sounds like all of the eight toys will be offered at the same time.

Pokemon will soon be teaming up with McDonald’s in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

On February 9, Happy Meals will include promo cards, sticker sheets, and some sort of card frame. You’ll receive four of 25 promos featuring the starter Pokemon from each region. As noted by PokeBeach, each card is a reprint but with a 25th anniversary stamp featured in the corner.

If you’re not interested in the Happy Meals, you can purchase the Pokemon items separately.

Mario’s cap is highlighted by the “M” at the very front. Meanwhile, the McDonald’s logo also prominently features the same letter. Did you know that the restaurant food chain wanted more synergy between the two at one point?

Yoichi Kotabe, who worked as an artist at Nintendo for two decades, revealed the news in an interview with French publication Le Monde. When asked about his first assignments, he mentioned coming up for various Mario designs and poses before eventually making the boxart for Super Mario Bros. 3. Kotabe went on to mention that he emphasized the “M” of Mario’s cap and wanting to distinguish it from the McDonald’s logo – despite the fact that McDonald’s wanted the hat to resemble its logo more.
