A dream matchup for many: Sonic and Mario facing off on the silver screen! Fans have long championed a collaboration between Sega and Nintendo, fueling speculation about a potential crossover.
KH Studio has ignited this excitement with a concept trailer showcasing a hypothetical Mario and Sonic movie. The vibrant Mushroom Kingdom is juxtaposed with Sonic's breakneck speed, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what such a film could achieve.
The phenomenal box office success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog movies, raking in over $2 billion globally, undoubtedly inspired this imaginative trailer.
Despite the historical rivalry between Nintendo and Sega, making a true crossover unlikely, the concept resonates deeply with fans.
For now, audiences can anticipate sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 slated for 2026 and Sonic 4 at the Movies in 2027.
Separately, December saw the announcement of a McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount partnership, bringing Sonic toys to the US market. Following the success of 2022's McDonald's Sonic toys, anticipation grew for a collaboration on the third film. After much speculation, a new Sonic Happy Meal was unveiled for Colombian consumers, featuring twelve unique hedgehog toys. While initially not planned for a US release, McDonald's later confirmed its arrival, including a special Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toy, alongside a side, drink, and choice of McNuggets or burgers.
