Video: Watch Us Hungrily Unbox The McDonald's Super Mario Happy Meal

i would rather eat out of a trash-can. actually i sometimes do just that free food yay !

My kids would beg me to take them to McDonalds for those Mario Happy Meals, I wouldn't mind one for my collection.

McDonald's: Where taste buds go to die.

I don't know why most people hate McDonald's. From where I live, their food and services are excellent in my opinion.

@Alshain01 One of many reasons I quit eating fast food over 7 years ago. As far as the toys go, I'm sure some of them will wind up on ebay soon enough.

@Azooooz Here the food is over-priced, virtually none of it, cold, and you're hungry again in less than an hour.

Hey, @Damo, how much are they charging for happy meals these days?

hmm...I would perhaps consider buying it if you could get it without the stuff some refer to as "food"

@xevious You can usually go in and buy the toys for 99p seperately.
@Damo I suppose that's not too bad if the toys are a quid each.

Y'know, I feel like McDonald's is bashed a little too much. I hate the chicken nuggets, but the fries are really good, and their burgers and milkshakes aren't half bad either.

I'll be calling on my way home... probably won't touch the food, but the toys look neat.

I'm going to McDonalds today.
The Mario toys are also in Ireland.
And personally, I do enjoy the food their.

Wish these would be released in Australia (why do I say this in every article no matter what its about)

Surely in the time it took to transport that Happy Meal to your office then take 5 mins to fully unbox it, all the food was cold.

I got myself one of these on my lunch break and they only had the Mario figure and not mushroom

All y'all complaining about McDonald's food, its take away trash food, we all know this, get off your high horse, no one is forcing you to buy or eat it.

I got my Happy meal yesterday and got the Mushroom, friend picked me one up too, haha its awesome, big enough and I love the sound fx.

I didnt know the Mario figure is out now too? Thought it was changed once a week?

McDonalds really aren't that bad if you only have them every now and again. It's cheap food but you shouldn't be expecting anything else.

@readyletsgo

It's usually 2 toys a week.

http://www.happymealtoysuk.com is a great website for putting up the schedules of what toys will be on each week (but they haven't got the Mario info yet)

@Peach64 awesome, thanks for that!!! I think I will be getting another Happy Meal tomorrow so! I want them all! And I like their chips so, all good

Thanks for the unboxing! Personally, I would have ripped the boxes open (ever so carefully) like a box of cereal with a toy inside. Your restrained enthusiasm was quite enjoyable and entertaining! Most McDonald's I've gone to you can purchase the toys separately without the food. Now, if these Happy Meals would just come to the US... We just had Adventure Time and Peabody and Sherman toys recently. I hope Mario's coming soon!

I have to admit, I just went to McDonald's for lunch and it was nothing to do with your unboxing!
Yes, I had a Happy Meal and I am happy with my toy!

Awesome! Tom's mushroom ftw!

Great video. Love the dry British humour.

Cool , now McDonalds will be full of Nintendo Fans , now that surely can't be a bad thing !

i got the mushroom it even has a nintendo tri wing screw in it one thing that was odd no manufacture name on the toy nor nintendo copyright and date. quite nicely made too not bad for £2.50

this week its mario and the super mario mushroom

Best unboxing ever! I only hope they'll send you a free cholesterol check-up with the Pulitzer...

I love McDonalds. Has anybody heard if these are coming to the US?

Lucky Europeans! In the USA we're stuck w/Mr. Peabody & Sherman bobble heads. -_- I'm surprised at all the hate McDonald's is getting! I personally love their food(but their cheeseburgers taste a bit odd)!

I worked once for McDonald's for a few months. Yeah... not gonna eat there anymore.

Remember kids, Mc donalds gives millions every year to the IRA, refuses to pay its farmers the going rate for meat, pays some UK staff less than the min wage, serves halal meat (very cruel way of butchery) ...... how bad do you need that toy ?

Epic unboxing is epic!!!

The best unboxing video ever! working for Nintendo Life looks like a great job!
The best McDonalds happy meal toys ever.

I know one thing that maccas is good at.

They have the best TV ads and food merchandising around.

Perhaps Nintendo could get McDonalds to do its PR campaigns. Would you like Mario with that !

Oh, thats right - Nintendo dont do TV PR campaigns. Doh.

Personally I used to love quarter pounders with cheese and a large serve of fries, but I have not eated 'fast food' for over 10 years. But, squeezed orange juice or a soft serve ice cream cone is excepted

I said it before and I'll day it again, euro gamers get better "rewards" than we do here in the US. NoA has the contract with BK (which I hate) and the last time we had any Nintendo kids meal toys was in October 2012 in preparation of the Wii U release.

We're overdue another promo.

Wow, my US McD's sucks for toys.
On the plus side, you can totally just buy the toy here without getting the meal. It's about a dollar.

Classic, well done gentlemen.

@617Sqn So I guess you're a organic vegetarian who lives in a cave?

@Azooooz Doubled. I love their breakfast and their quality is way above par. At least at where I live. Although I do agree regular consumption of their burgers, fries and nuggets will kill you.

We dont even have McDonalds where i am. But that looks pretty cool!

remember you can buy the toy for £1 without the happy meal @6ch6ris6 @Bluezealand @Peach64 @Alshain01 @xevious

Nice loot. I don't enjoy most of McDonald's food, but there are a few exceptions...

yuck : (

It's sad to see Nintendo (and Nintendolife) support a company that benefits from encouraging children (and adults) to eat unhealthy, processed foods (that animals have suffered terribly to provide).

I brought the two toys last night from Maccy D.

I love McDonalds, and I want those toys...

Hilarious, thanks guys, that made my day.

@Azooooz It's a safe thing to hate and hating is ever so much fun.

I'm hungry. I want a Super Size Happy Meal please? I'm loving it.

@Hy8ogen nope, not at all, but I don't agree with a world wide chain giving money to the IRA ( a terrorist group, who have killed thousands of people) I believe in fair trade, halal meat causes undue pain to animals, and it is a basic human right to be paid a wage you can live off! Any one with morals avoids Mc donalds.

i'm looking for the toad toy when that one is up, don't want any of the 'food' though.

@617Sqn The IRA killed a hell of a lot less people than the British and American Armies did just as illegally in Iraq. The supposedly peacekeeping soldiers killed 1/3 as many (And the unionists another 2 thirds).

Nice review guys, very amusing. Hope you like your new toys and hopefully you enjoyed the food even though it was cold!

OMG.

Also, everyone complaining about FatDonald's food... You know you all loved it at one time or another.

that jumper.... i wants it...

@itsgood2slide
Adults are free to make their own choices on what they and their children eat. What do you eat ?

Hope these come to the US. Mcdonald's is pretty good every now & again (even though I do like Wendy's better).

I feel like it gets so much hate, just because it's the "cool" thing to do.

@nesvc That's true, but nonetheless this promotion will encourage both adults and children to spend money on McDonalds products, which is ultimately bad for them (and worse for the animals they eat). I choose not to support the deplorable meat, dairy and egg industries so I only eat foods that contain no animal products. As a gaming enthusiast, I am sad to see Nintendo support them.

So you suffer from malnutrition....

No, I comfortably meet all my RDAs.

@itsgood2slide
Some people don't have a choice to be vegan or not. I try to stay away from dairy or meat products, too, but sometimes that's all there is.

Most the meals I eat are entirely fruit, veggies, grains, nuts, and water. The kids are being given the Happy Meals by their parents, so they eat it.

@itsgood2slide
Also, if a vegan product is more expensive, people feel more inclined to buy the cheaper product, despite moral value. I've seen it.

For a second there, I thought that Yoshi plush had a ninja turtles mask.

Children's toys... Yay...

the bags in Canada don't have handles. lol

@SCAR392 That's great to hear you are trying to avoid such products. There are many local, national and international groups of vegans that support each other and share ideas on cruelty-free (and affordable) alternatives. http://www.happycow.net/ for example is a useful website for finding out where you can find vegan restaurants and places with good vegan options. Whereabouts are you from?

@itsgood2slide
I'm from the U.S. I'm not sure if you've heard of Chipotle Miexican Grill, but I've specifically emailed them about the possibility of offering an alternative to the meat they put in their products. Mostly everything else they serve is vegan, so it would make sense to have a tofu option for their burritos, IMO.

My main point was that not everyone has the ability to actively keep up a vegan life style, or doesn't really have an option. I've also noticed that some of the vegan options aren't exactly delectable or filling, so there are other aspects to the situation.

Mmmmmmmm McDonald's fries. I crave them. Lucky British!! Wish Australia got these Mario happy meal toys.

Picked both of these up today for £2.00

I love the chicken nuggets, french fries, hamburger (with cheese and ketchup only) and that's about it.

My girlfriend came home with the toadstool happy meal toy today I think it's probably the coolest happy meal toy I've ever had lol

@Waveboy
I'm fine with McDonald's, to an extent. I went there around 2 months ago. I was mainly addressing that everyone commenting on this article is bashing McDonalds food or the people who eat it, when people aren't in the same shoes as others. Kids don't think about what they eat. They just do, and hamburgers have been part of that.

I will take a cup of soy or almond milk over dairy milk, any day. I never liked dairy milk...

Anyway, I'm still fat and I eat more healthy than a lot of people. Eating healthy isn't going to magically make you healthy.

And in Mexico when?

@SCAR392 Yes, I know of them firstly because of South Park and secondly because they have restaurants here in London. I have not checked out their menu yet, but I agree it would be great to see some tofu there. There's a Mexican-style restaurant chain in Germany called Delores which have some fantastic vegan options which include tofu.

@WaveBoy It's easy to find sufficient protein and omega 3 etc., but thank you for your concern.

Our American Mcdonalds has some of the worst food ever, with plastic preserved buns, liquid rubber coated patties, and about 7 miniscule fries per meal. Lets not forget they dont even use real meat, the place disgusts me.... Some of the toys can be fun but they break after about a week. The food their is more weather resistent than the toys... : (

McDonald's gives you cancer.

@AkDeath Proof?

Anyway, come to America please? ;(

God, I don't get the hate towards McDonald's.
I think they have good food.
I basically feel the same way as @Azooooz

@xevious I've bought toys from kids' meals by themselves in the past. It couldn't hurt to try asking.

Wait...I totally have that Yoshi Doll!

Im awaiting the follow up video: Watch Damo bolt to the toilet 30 minutes later!

Any chance of this coming to Germany?

McDonalds is fine but people just got to learn not to eat their food excessively. Whenever I see a McDonalds sign , I think "mmmmmmmmm French fries" like Just when I saw this video, I was constantly thinking about the fries. I eat McDonalds at least once a couple of months.

@Senario Given Nintendo's family-friendly image, this is not a positive move for them, especially when gaming comes under fire for encouraging people to be less active and thus less healthy. The Wii was a positive step in this sense, but endorsements like this are a negative one.

I was not telling people what to eat (if animals have to suffer terribly for your enjoyment that's on your conscience, not mine), I was just pointing out that I am unhappy that a company I have supported over the years (Nintendo) is in turn supporting and encouraging people to support a company I detest (McDonalds).

@setezerocinco I think you already had this a year or so back. Or was that the Netherlands. Either way there was a slightly different toy selection including princess peach.

Hah, it's amazing how British this site is.

I couldn't live a living fridge on what anyone says about me; I will eat this.
If this was YouTube, there would be arrogant people calling me fat. Except I have a high/fast metabolism, so I'm skinny. I also kinda have the case of anorexia nervosa.

...SHOOT. This is in the U.K.? I'm in the U.S.! I might as well get a sandwich bag and put my small mario figure in it. It's really small. As small as my pinkie.

freedom fries!

These toys were in Italy in september. I got 2 Luigis and Mario in a pipe.

@Azooooz

Didnt even know people hate McDs
Do they??????

This was the funniest video I have seen in a while.

Mcdonalds is my favorite restaurant at present. After Mcdonalds, I prefer Subway restaurant to eat food. Subway is also one of the big and famous restaurants in the world. Recently I visited the Subway restaurant, and I participated in a global subway survey - https://www.surveylookup.com/www-global-subway-listens-com, and I won the cookies and fountain drink for free cost. Thanks to subway restaurant management.
