Mario Returns To... McDonalds

It's been a while but he's back. As part of a new health program for kids 8 new happy meal Mario toys will soon be available.

As part of a new "Run, Jump and Power-Up with Mario" promotion. Nintendo is teaming up with Mcdonalds (probably the cause of most childhood inactivity) to get kids active. There will be 8 figures available to collect. The toys will be available in store Wednesday 19 March and will run until 29th April

I'm not sure how effective these will be in making kids more active but will certainly lure in into my local McDonalds as I'm sure my "kids" want these. I also hope Nintendo uses this as a start for a marketing push for Wii U
