Mario Kart Toys are officially back at McDonald's

Mario Kart Toys are returning to McDonald's as part of a new Happy Meal promotion. Nintendo and McDonald's have had many ties to Happy Meal over the years, starting with the special edition Pokémon Cards to toys based on 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie This gave eager fans a first look at what characters like Princess Peach would look like on screen. In the summer of 2014, McDonald's offered Mario Kart Toys based on Mario Kart 8 on Wii U.

McDonald's would bring this back Mario Kart Promotion in 2022, this time under the generic Mario Kart Banner and represents Nintendo's mascot kart racing series in general. The toy offering in this second promotion was largely the same as 2014, with the exception that a Mario hat visor was replaced with Toadette riding the Antigravity Kart introduced in 2014 Mario Kart 8. On September 5, 2024, the Mario Kart Toys would return to McDonald's, although initially this only applied to Australia.
