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 imaginative short showcases a potential crossover movie, blending the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic's high-octane speed.
The runaway success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog films, raking in over $2 billion worldwide, fueled this creative endeavor. While a true Nintendo/Sega hero team-up remains unlikely given their historical competition, the concept clearly resonates with audiences.
In the meantime, fans can anticipate sequels: Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 slated for 2026 and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 in 2027.
Separately, December saw a surprising partnership unveiled: McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount joined forces. Following the successful 2022 Sonic toys, speculation mounted about a collaboration for the third film. This culminated in a Colombian release of a new Sonic Happy Meal, featuring twelve unique hedgehog designs. 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.
