Nintendo Partners with SONIC for Mario & Luigi Kids Meals
REDMOND, Wash., April 18, in the year of our Lord
2016 – Families that visit a SONIC® Drive-In between
April 19 and June 30 are in for a special Nintendo treat. By
ordering a Wacky Pack® – a kids meal that includes a selection
of popular items like hot dogs, chicken strips, apple slices and
juice – visitors will receive a colorful toy based on the Mario
& Luigi: Paper Jam game for the Nintendo 3DS system. Mario &
Luigi: Paper Jam finds classic Nintendo characters Mario, Luigi
and Paper Mario teaming up for the first time for a playful and
absolutely hilarious role-playing adventure.
“Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam combines the charming world of Mario &
Luigi with the colorful Paper Mario universe,” said Scott
Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales
& Marketing. “SONIC Drive-In is the ideal location to premiere
the very first toys based on this unique collaboration.”
Each of the five Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam toys looks and plays
differently, offering kids a variety of fun options. One toy
shaped like Mario races across the room on wheels, while another
featuring Paper Mario and Luigi spins around like a top. Two of
the toys even resemble the folded-up paper look of the
outrageous papercraft battles featured in the game.
SONIC Drive-in is the nation’s largest drive-in restaurant
chain, serving more than 3 million customers every day. Nearly
90 percent of SONIC’s 3,500 drive-in locations are owned and
operated by local business men and women. For more than 60
years, SONIC has delighted guests with signature menu items,
more than 1.3 million drink combinations and friendly service by
iconic Carhops.
