A dream clash of gaming titans: Imagine Sonic and Mario facing off 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 exciting preview blends the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic's breakneck speed, offering a tantalizing glimpse of a potential crossover movie.
Inspired by the phenomenal success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog films – a combined global box office gross exceeding $2 billion – the trailer showcases the potential of uniting these beloved franchises.
While a true collaboration between Nintendo and Sega remains unlikely given their history, the concept clearly resonates with audiences. In the meantime, fans can eagerly anticipate sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 (2026) and Sonic 4 at the Movies (2027).
Separately, December saw a surprising partnership unveiled: McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount joined forces, bringing Sonic toys to US McDonald's locations. Following the success of 2022's Sonic toys, speculation mounted regarding a collaboration for the third film. This culminated in a Colombian release of new Sonic toys, featuring twelve unique designs. While initially exclusive to Colombia, McDonald's later confirmed a US release, offering each Happy Meal with a special Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toy, alongside a side, drink, and choice of McNuggets or burgers.
