Goodbye McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets, hello new Happy Meal toys.
The Chicago-based burger chain has revealed what will now be available in McDonald’s Happy Meals – and fans of a certain classic video game may want to rush to McDonald’s to grab one.
According to the chain, McDonald’s Happy Meals will be accompanied, for a limited time, by a range of different “iconic” Mario Kart characters in the form of collectible toys.
The character roster includes Princess Peach, Yoshi, Luigi and Mario and six others, McDonald’s said, along with six others. According to the burger chain, the characters come in karts and can be interchanged. They also come with customizable stickers, McDonald’s said.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Happy Meals are currently available at participating McDonald’s for a limited time, officials said.
The new Happy Meals follow a recent outbreak of E. coli in the chain, which has sickened more than 50 people in more than 10 states. Officials say the outbreak was linked to sliced onions served on Quarter Pounder burgers.
