What song does it play? Is it one of the familiar tunes from the games or is it a bunch of random notes. When I go to McDonalds, I should wear either my Donkey Kong (arcade), "You Know You're in The Mushroom Kingdom When..." or Yoshi 'T-shirt. :P

I got the Mario Tennis inflatable hammer today. It doesn't look that strong, but it hits the ball it comes with far sometimes.

The question on my last post, no need to answer cause I got two of those Yoshi tag toys today. (Went to MD's with my dad and a good friend of the family. The friend and I each got a happy meal.) I miss the times when fast food toys were the charger/wind-ups and posable figurines. Whenever I notice the dramatic change the fast food toys have gone through, I just feel old.

The commercial is under cool stuff.

I saw it on TV for the first time yesterday. Nice commercial. :)

I haven't had a Happy Meal since I was a kid...Now I rarely eat there, maybe once or twice a year at the most.

Sweet! I got the Yoshi that plays music today. If you slip him on your finger and pat someone on the back, it's even cooler.

I want that Yoshi toy that plays music, mainly as a cardholder for poker games. I went to McDonald's today but they didn't have one, and none of the other toys interested me very much.

If I can't find it at a McDonald's, maybe I'll try the White Mushroom House sub-forum.

The only one that looks like something I wouldn't be embarrassed to have is the little ball-Mario. The music playing Yoshi is pretty cool too. Why only Mario, Yoshi and DK toys though? I seriously think that wave of Super Mario Bros. 3 toys McDonald's did way back when are still the best Mario toys to come out of a kid's meal.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'd rather just have a line of high-quality action figures than Happy Meal toys.

Where's Wario, Luigi and the rest of the gang? Sadly, Mcdonalds is only concerned with fitness and health (Despite their food being loaded with atomic nukes for your heart) and Wario may be bad for their image. *insert sarcastic laugh here* What's funny is, I didn't actually eat the food when I got the toys.

The line of toys here is really disappointing. Where's Luigi, Bowser, Toad, and Peach? Mario wouldn't be what he his today w/out them.

Linkboy · « **Reply #26 on:** September 04, 2006, 09:39:30 AM »

They should have more toys. there is no Peach or Bowser. I'm going miss you Luigi. The commercial is kinda cool in how they pause at the end.

Eh, those toys are less than spectacular. Two are just a ball and a frisbee in disguise. Talk about un-originality. Plus, they only made toys for Mario, Yoshi and DK. No Luigi or Peach toys. More proof that Luigi doesn't get the respect he deserves =(.

McDonalds could've done better.

I agree, but you have to understand... McDonalds is going through a "get em' outside" phase where they want kids to get outside and burn off the calories that parents pay to have stuffed into them.

*groan* By the time this is all said and done, every kid in America will weigh 200 pounds and die at the age of 40. (Mabey I'm being harsh, but this is really what we've become; an inactive nation full of fatties who don't seem to care about fitness.)

I'm movin' to Ireland. See you there.
