A dream clash of gaming titans: Imagine Sonic and Mario on the silver screen! Fans have long championed a Sega and Nintendo crossover, and KH Studio has answered the call with a captivating concept trailer.
This trailer brilliantly juxtaposes the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic's breakneck speed, offering a tantalizing glimpse of a potential movie merging these beloved franchises. The phenomenal success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog movies, raking in over $2 billion globally, undoubtedly fueled this creative endeavor.
While a true collaboration between Nintendo and Sega remains unlikely given their historical competition, the concept clearly resonates with audiences. Until then, fans can anticipate the upcoming sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 (2026) and Sonic 4 at the Movies (2027).
Meanwhile, a recent partnership between McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount has brought Sonic to the forefront. Following the success of McDonald's 2022 Sonic toys, speculation mounted about a collaboration for the third film. The fast-food giant ultimately unveiled a new Sonic-themed Happy Meal in Colombia, featuring twelve unique hedgehog toys. Surprisingly, after initial reports suggested these toys wouldn't reach the US market, McDonald's confirmed their US release. Each Happy Meal includes a special Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toy, alongside a side, drink, and choice of McNuggets or burgers.
