McDonald’s was reported to be launching a limited-time The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Happy Meal at U.S. restaurants on March 26, 2026. The reported meal includes a choice of hamburger or four- or six-piece Chicken McNuggets, sides, a kids’ drink, and one of 12 collectible character figures. Whether it is still available is not established.
What is the new McDonald’s Mario Happy Meal?
It is a reported U.S. promotion tied to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Allrecipes reported on March 24, 2026, that the limited-time meal would begin at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide on March 26. Its report, surfaced by AOL, is the source for the promotion details below; no official McDonald’s announcement for this specific 2026 offer was located.
The report did not give an end date. It described the promotion as available for a limited time or while supplies lasted, so the reported launch date does not confirm that participating restaurants have it now.
What comes with the meal?
According to the Allrecipes report, customers could choose one of these entrées:
