Fans have long dreamed of seeing Sonic and Mario face off on the silver screen. Supporters have eagerly shared their thoughts on the possibility of a collaboration between Sega and Nintendo. Enter KH Studio, which has released a concept trailer featuring the iconic duo in a potential crossover movie. The vibrant Mushroom Kingdom scenery transforms into high-speed action sequences with Sonic, hinting at what such a cinematic blend could look like.
The success of the *Super Mario Bros.* and *Sonic the Hedgehog* movie adaptations, which collectively earned over $2 billion globally, served as inspiration for the creators behind this trailer. Although a formal partnership between Nintendo and Sega’s legendary characters remains unlikely due to their storied rivalry, the idea captivated fans worldwide.
In the meantime, audiences can look forward to sequels from both franchises: *Super Mario Bros. at the Movies 2* is set for release in 2026, while *Sonic 4 at the Movies* will debut in 2027.
In December, the collaboration between McDonald’s, Sega, and Paramount came to light. Sonic made his debut in the U.S., following McDonald’s previous toy releases in 2022, when fans hoped for another joint venture with Sega and Paramount for the franchise’s third film. Amidst speculation, McDonald’s finally introduced a new Sonic character for Colombian consumers.
The commercial showcased twelve distinct hedgehogs, though none were initially intended for the U.S. market. Later, McDonald’s confirmed the rollout would extend to America as well. Each *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* Happy Meal includes a collectible toy, a side dish, a beverage, along with either chicken McNuggets or hamburgers.
