A recent leaked commercial from McDonald’s Colombia hints at an upcoming Happy Meal promotion featuring toys based on Sonic the Hedgehog 3. While the original video was quickly made private, it spread rapidly among Sonic fans online, showcasing Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow delivering Happy Meals. The commercial also revealed a set of 12 toys based on these four characters, each with unique poses and expressions.

The toy set includes standard figures of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow, alongside Super Sonic and Super Shadow variants. The appearance of these super forms strongly suggests their presence in the movie, potentially mirroring the climax of Sonic Adventure 2, where the characters harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds. This reinforces the previously confirmed influence of the Dreamcast game on the film’s storyline, hinting at a similar concluding battle.
While a U.S. release isn’t confirmed, it seems likely given the previous Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Happy Meal promotion in 2022. With high box office projections for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, McDonald’s likely won’t miss the opportunity to capitalize on one of 2024’s final blockbuster releases. Current McDonald’s promotions include Pet Simulator and a lingering Mario Kart tie-in from October. A Pokemon TCG promotion with a Year of the Dragon theme is also circulating internationally. This might influence the timing of a Sonic the Hedgehog 3 promotion, potentially delaying it until after the film’s December 20th premiere to minimize spoiler concerns.
Fans eager for these Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toys will have to wait for official confirmation. The release date remains uncertain, but hopefully, more information will be available soon.
