As of right this moment (fifth September), McDonald’s prospects in Australia can nab themselves a candy Mario Kart toy with each Pleased Meal due to the newest crossover with Nintendo (thanks, Vooks).
Not like the cardboard collaborations we have seen prior to now (like final yr’s Mario Film European assortment), this Australian vary consists of ten plastic karts with some acquainted faces behind the wheel. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Peach and Yoshi are joined by a swanky Gold Mario and Rose Gold Peach this time — although all of them are Kart-only, so do not count on any bikes like we noticed in North America a short time again.
Oh, and the Pleased Meals additionally embrace Mario-themed stickers. Stickers!
The @mcdonaldsau Instagram account was readily available to indicate the complete vary in motion, even demonstrating how the Pleased Meal field can be utilized as somewhat storage. Aw.
As ever, it appears just like the rollout of those toys has been somewhat gradual, so that you may need to go to a few ‘maccas’ branches earlier than discovering one with the Mario Kart toys in.
Whether or not these will ultimately make their approach out of Australia stays to be seen, however they’re solely Pleased Meal toys, on the finish of the day, so we would not count on the very best high quality merchandise.
These after some Mario Kart merch (with some money to splash) may wish to take a look at the vaguely horrifying Mario Kart LEGO units as a substitute, set to launch subsequent yr.
