Mario and Sonic Movie Crossover Trailer Unveiled

A dream matchup for many: 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 trailer brilliantly blends the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom aesthetic with Sonic's signature speed, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what a crossover film could achieve.

The phenomenal success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog films, raking in over $2 billion globally, undoubtedly fueled this creative endeavor.

While a true collaboration between Nintendo and Sega remains improbable given their historical competition, the concept clearly resonates deeply with audiences.

In the meantime, fans can look forward to anticipated sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 (2026) and Sonic 4 at the Movies (2027).

Separately, December saw the unveiling of a partnership between McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount. This resulted in a US release of Sonic-themed Happy Meals. Following the successful 2022 toy release, speculation mounted regarding a collaboration for the third Sonic film. McDonald's initially launched a unique Sonic promotion in Colombia featuring twelve different hedgehog designs, but ultimately brought the same Happy Meal promotion, complete with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toys, to the United States. Each Happy Meal includes a toy, a side, a drink, and a choice of McNuggets or a hamburger.
