McDonald's has launched a new Happy Meal promotion featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe toys. The promotion includes ten different toys: Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Gold Mario, and Pink Gold Peach. These toys are miniature karts that can be customized with stickers, and their bases can be swapped to create unique vehicles.
This promotion is notable for a few reasons:
1. It includes new characters like Pink Gold Peach and Gold Mario.
2. The toys feature a new mechanic allowing kids to swap the chassis between different karts.
3. It's part of an ongoing partnership between Nintendo and McDonald's, with similar promotions in 2014 and 2022.
Each Happy Meal includes a choice of hamburger or chicken nuggets, fries, apple slices, and a drink. Additionally, with every Happy Meal purchase, McDonald's makes a donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe McDonald's Happy Meals hub can be found here, which has coloring and activity sheets, a closer look at the toys, and a commercial.
For those interested in collecting these toys or enjoying the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe theme, the promotion is currently available at participating McDonald's locations.
