The dream clash between gaming icons Sonic and Mario has long captivated fans, fueling speculation about a potential Sega and Nintendo collaboration. KH Studio's concept trailer brilliantly captures this wish fulfillment, juxtaposing the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic's lightning-fast action sequences, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what a crossover film could be.
Inspired by the phenomenal success of the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog movies – a combined global box office gross exceeding $2 billion – this concept trailer ignites the imagination. While a true collaboration between Nintendo and Sega remains unlikely due to their historical rivalry, the idea clearly resonates deeply with fans.
In the meantime, audiences eagerly anticipate the sequels: Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2 (2026) and Sonic 4 at the Movies (2027).
Separately, December saw the exciting announcement of a partnership between McDonald's, Sega, and Paramount, bringing Sonic to the United States. Following the successful 2022 toy release, speculation mounted regarding a collaboration on the third film. This culminated in McDonald's unveiling a new Sonic Happy Meal offering for Colombian consumers, featuring twelve unique hedgehog toys. 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 a choice of Chicken McNuggets or a hamburger.
