A dream clash of gaming titans: Imagine Sonic and Mario on the silver screen! Fans have long championed a Sega and Nintendo collaboration, and KH Studio has answered the call with a captivating concept trailer. This vibrant preview seamlessly blends the frenetic energy of Sonic with the colorful charm of the Mushroom Kingdom, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what a crossover film could achieve.
Inspired by the phenomenal box office success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog movies (a combined global gross exceeding $2 billion!), this concept trailer ignites the imagination.
While a true collaboration between Nintendo and Sega remains unlikely given their historical competition, the sheer popularity of the idea speaks volumes. For now, fans can anticipate sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 (2026) and Sonic 4 at the Movies (2027).
Meanwhile, a separate but exciting development unfolded in December: a partnership between McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount. This collaboration brought Sonic toys to the US market, following the success of the 2022 Happy Meal promotion. After much speculation about a potential tie-in with Sonic the Hedgehog 3, McDonald's initially unveiled a unique Sonic toy line for Colombia. Although the initial release featured twelve distinct hedgehog designs, the toys eventually made their way to US McDonald's locations. Each Happy Meal includes a special Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toy, alongside a side, drink, and a choice of McNuggets or a hamburger.
