Super Mario Returns to McDonald's Happy Meals: New Toy Lineup and Nintendo Switch Sweepstakes Announced

Nintendo and McDonald's have joined forces once again, delighting fans and families with the release of eight brand-new Super Mario-themed Happy Meal toys.

This exciting collaboration brings together two iconic brands to celebrate Nintendo's beloved Super Mario franchise with collectible figures, interactive play features, and a national sweepstakes offering Nintendo Switch consoles and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundles as prizes.

The promotion is now available at participating McDonald's restaurants and will run through May 22, 2017. Each Happy Meal purchased at participating locations will include one of eight unique Super Mario toys.

The lineup showcases a favorite cast of characters and power-ups: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Invincible Mario, Red Koopa Shell, and the 1-Up Mushroom.

Each toy has its own function, inviting young fans and seasoned collectors alike to experience creative new ways to interact with these universally recognized Super Mario icons.

Details on the individual toy features are available at McDonald's official Happy Meal site. In addition to the collectible toys, McDonald's is offering an exclusive sweepstakes.

Customers can enter for a chance to win one of 100 Nintendo Switch systems bundled with a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Entry into the sweepstakes is accessible through the McDonald's mobile app—each Happy Meal purchase qualifies for two entries, maximizing the opportunity for participants to score Nintendo’s hit hybrid console and its best-selling racing title.

The sweepstakes entry and toy distribution period will both conclude on May 22, 2017, according to McDonald's promotional guidelines. This collaboration builds on a well-established relationship between Nintendo and McDonald's, with previous Happy Meal promotions featuring Mario Kart 8-themed toys commemorating the game's original release.

This long-running partnership highlights the enduring appeal of Nintendo’s characters across generations and continues to reinforce Super Mario's status as a cultural icon in the gaming world. With the international recognition of Super Mario and Nintendo Switch’s sustained popularity—Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has achieved record-breaking sales milestones—the renewed partnership for 2017 stands as a testament to Nintendo’s influence in the world of interactive entertainment.

McDonald's and Nintendo's joint effort invites both new and veteran fans to collect, play, and enter to win, further strengthening the global footprint of the Super Mario brand.

Fans interested in participating can visit their local McDonald's location and download the McDonald’s app for sweepstakes instructions and details.
