That 30 year old Eggman toy has better comedic timing than most stand up comedians out there.

Tails is the kind of toy I'd love as a kid and hate as a parent.

Oh man, I actually had that red Koopa Trooper toy as a kid. It didn't have the hose and button, so my mother probably got it from a 2nd hand store or yard sale, but I had that thing for years, and it was one of my favorites. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw it in this video, so thanks for unlocking a forgotten memory, Peebs!

The Japanese version of the Eggman toy actually used his game design.

There's also the fact that because of the contract with McDonalds, Sega had a hard deadline for the release of Sonic 3. So the developers set aside half the levels originally planned for the game just to make sure it got out on time, and then put them in Sonic & Knuckles. Which means we have Ronald and Friends' lawyers with their McThreat of financial penalties in the event of non-compliance to thank for Lock-On Technology.

4:55 Prepares pitchforks. 5:00 Withdraws pitchforks.

Animal Fun Fact: The Japanese version of Dr. Robotnik's Happy Meal toy has a design more accurate to his video game counterpart, rather than the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog design that was used in North America and Europe.

I had that Dr. Robotnik toy as a kid. I remember being excited to buy it in a thriftstore, as I was incredibly young (like tol young to eat a burger, nevermind a happy meal) when the sonic 3 toys were being released, then being super upset by how crappy the toy itself was. Just moving less than an inch was laughable and frustrating when i spent a dollar on the grab bag just for one toy lmfao.

We simply can’t get enough of fast food toys every day, and there’s always a variety of them to pick up.

@14:38 I'm not sure if you know this but the japanese version of the Sonic 3 McDonald Eggman toy is more align to his in-game appearance. Also, Happy New Years:)

I'm not a parent, but that baby Mario clip is really helping me understand what you and the Mrs. are dealing with atm. Well played. Congrats! Happy New Year.

The Robotnik toy actually had his game design in Japan, but it's significantly harder to find than the one released in America.

Have a great 2024 for you and family. I’m also waiting my first chip in the next week or two. So I’ll be smiling at your every complaint being a new farther. Have a great one!

Wow... This is the first time Peebs is doing fast food toys whose commercial I actually remember seeing (SMB3). Really showing my age now.

I had that sonic one growing up and may actually still have it some where. I completely forgot about until watching this video!

I was unfortunately too young when those toys were around. I definitely would have gone nuts for the Sonic launcher. I loved those types of happy meal toys.

8:37 Nice detail that Tosty use Young Tails voice clips

13:51 that goomba did a sick flip 😎

I used to have all of the SMB3 McDonald's toys except the Raccoon Mario. The Goomba was never able to stick a landing for me lol

Last year I had my sonic fast food toys on my shelf in celebration of the sonic 2 movie releasing, and this year I had my Mario fast food toys on my shelf in celebration of the Mario movie coming out.

"More Sonic toys!" - They yelled.

The Mario toys were the only happy meal toys I ever wanted. Heck would still get them today just for nostalgia!

“When has Luigi ever looked like this?” *Death stare intensifies*

Going into the new year watching a grown man lay with fast food toys. Fantastic.

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S PEEBS!!!! I hope you have a wonderful 2024!! :3

Happy new year Peebs! Fast Food Toys episode are always fun to watch and to see how those old toys work.

I had those sonic toys as a kid: the sonic one and the knuckles one

I had the Knuckles and Robotnik toy, but also had a yellow ball which had Tails on it. Also, the cloud Knuckles is riding on is a cartoon fight cloud.

I think it's supposed to be a cloud of dust around Knuckles while he spins, like Taz kinda deal

who remembers the sonic handhelds with macdonald's?

18:08 they're friends 💏what a cute drawing!

My grandma has the cloud Luigi, and I used to play with all the time as a kid. Such good memories.

Speaking of Sonic, I actually got a couple LEGO sets based on that franchise for Christmas. Also, happy New Year’s Eve, Peebs.

13:48 He did it, he did the thing!!

Hey! I STILL have that Running Sonic and knuckles! Quite beat up and scratched but still on my shelf

dang it i thought i could get away without another toy vid XD

PEEEEEEBS!!! Cheers to the new year, have a safe one! Thanks for the laughs as always ❤

Perfect way to end the year! Happy new year!

Lol, That Mario taking forever to jump was my exact childhood experience.

Happy new years Peebs!🦆

Hope the baby and you are doing well Peebs! ❤️

Was that entire happy meal $1.99?!?!?! holy crap inflation T-T

Introducing: Mario and Sonic at the fast food toy Olympic Games. Coming to a McDonald’s near you

Happy New Year to you and your family, Peebs! I hope that you guys have a great one! And thank you for this final video of 2023!

Happy New Year to you and your family Peebs!

Well, this vid certainly unlocked some long dormant memories.

I was born in 2000 and I feel every Nintendo kid wanted both the Mario 3 and Sonic 3 McDonald’s toys seeing them on KZfaq. Did anyone else feel that way?

Their actually is a game version off eggman but it was only available in Japan

Hi Peebs, its been a great year with you

Happy New Years

I had the tanooki mario one. Never used the spring, but i had a wrecking-ball car toy thing that had nothing to do with mario. So, my friends and I attached Mario to that and named it ‘Wreck-It Mario’. It became an inside joke with my friends, thanks for giving me these memories back

You’re kid is going to love playing with some of the toys when it’s older lol

What a great way to end 2023! Love when I get notifications about a new Peebs video🎉🎉

My humor is absolutely destroyed. How do I know this? Because after sonic sped past Mario towards the end, Mario decides to jump up and land behind the table never to be seen again. And it was glorious

Seeing those boxes, it's crazy to think the kinds of things that people hold onto for so many years.

Happy New Year Peebs hope you continue to make the best videos next year and the years to come! Love ya💕💕

Knuckles punching that guy was really funny😂

Ringing in the new year with some Peebs vids!

Happy New Years Peebs!! Keep up the amazing content 😁

I had the knuckles toy. Memory unlocked!

*A little fun facts about Sonic 3 Happy Meal promo!* The Sonic 3 Happy Meal box is actually hella cool, since you can cut some parts of it, and make like little stages for the toys and other figures, the boxes were: - Angel Island - Marble Garden - Ice Cap - Launch Base (This one haves a cool sunrise background tho) The reason why Knuckles haves that random ass cloud it's because of one concept text of Knuckles before he was finalized. If i remember right, the text says something about Knuckles doing some Taz type of thing. Idk if i got it right or not. The toy set actually had a 3 year old toys. It's a ball with Sonic printed on it, and one for Tails. They're balls, so yeah, the Sonic 3 toy set wins lmao Tails one was kinda recalled, i'm not sure, but they changed it for one that it's just Bayblade. And even in Japan they removed entirely of the set. (Also yeah, JP one haves the actual Eggman design lolololol-) Somehting something McDonald's promo was one huge reason why Sonic 3 was split into two parts, yadah yadah. What people don't know is that Flying Battery in the first half (As it should be) was snuck in the promo bags. Those bags had some sort of mini games, involving places from Angel Island, Marble Garden, Carnival Night and Flying Battery, yeah. As random bonus, SEGA was hella dumb. They should have brought back that promo to promote Sonic Mania, but noooo, SEGA liked Hooters for Forces, why the fuck not! SEGA, IT WAS RIGHT THERE THE PERFECT PROMO CAMPAIGN *RIGHT THERE-*

Have a wonderful new year, Peebs and family❤😊

Something about the Ryan Drummond Sonic clips playing every time I see the Sonic's little face or him doing anything makes me really happy LOL

Happy New Years 🎉

The Knuckles toy is actually a reference to a cut concept from Sonic 3 in which he would’ve been able to produce small tornadoes as an attack.

I won't bother explaining the Tails McDonald's cancelation. Instead I'll remind you about SHADOW BASKETBALL!

I had those Mario toys! Some of the first fast food toys I remember.

I had that Sonic launcher toy as a kid, I wasn't even that into sonic until that, but just having the toy made me want to watch the cartoons (since I only owned nintendo and not sega consoles). thanks for the nostalgia Peebs!

19:48 LOL mario thinking about the baddies

That Luigi toy looked like it came from a Mario CGI game. The one with the creepy animation you played on PBGGameplay with Jeff. Also it's cool that you got a under age three toy for your daughter. Great video Peebs.

I had that Knuckles toy as a kid and took him everywhere with me. I was also 11 when it came out and Sonic 3 was fresh and new :3

The robotnik toy was KILLING ME😂😂

SMB3 toys came out in August of 1990. I've already got a video showing proof with the included insert the toys came with.

I really enjoyed this video, I have quite a bit of nostalgia towards both sets of toys. I was too young to get the Mario 3 toys when they were current but ended up getting them from a relative around 93 When the Sonic 3 toys were out and I remember enjoying both. I especially had fun with the Tails launcher and the Sonic, I used to take them to the park all the time.

So: There are TWO Dr. Robotniks used by Sega of America. One is kind of a halfway point between the Dr. Eggman look and the more cartoon version; the second is the one used by Milton Knight on AOSTH and in a more nefarious way in SATAM.

Knuckles is spinning so hard that he’s in a dust cloud Peebs. Keep up the good work! ❤ I can’t wait to see you talk about the Tingle games by giving each game its own video! ❤

Honestly like the Mario ones more as if you get multiples of Goomba or Koopa you could build an army with them

Referring to the Dr. Robotnik, I had a McDonald’s toy of Doc Hudson from Cars that had a wind up feature but eventually stopped working

"Yeah I won!" the sequel to "Alls well that ends well!" if you get the joke you get the joke. if you don't you don't.

Note that the sonic 3 toys were released in 1994 and the Mario 3 toys were later on

Such an entertaining video! Imma have to go binge the rest of your toy videos now. So fun! Great editing!

Well i think the toys were manufactured and mass-produced in 1989 to prepare for the release of smb3 in America in February 1990, since they knew the game would be a big hit.

Happy New Years Peebs🎉🎈

Oh wow. I actually had both that Luigi and that Knuckles one. lol. First time seeing ones I had here I think. lol

11:28 Robotnik is moving the Earth, that's why he doesn't seem to go full scuttlebutt.

Lost it at the segment just waiting for the Mario toy to jump. Happy New Year!! :)

"too bad you need sandpaper to rile him up" 😂😂😂 without context this is pretty intense 🙈

Happy New Year, Peebs! 🎉

Damn, dude! You just ripped open a very minute amount of my childhood!

Happy new year guys ❤ thanks for the fun videos here’s for more fun to come! 😊 made my day & I’ve had a pretty shitty one so really thank you ❤❤

Luigi looks like he’s high asf, riding on a cloud of smoke

You won the boomerang test Peebs, you won.

I had the knuckles and robotnik toys as a kid

I had tanooki Mario as a kid. It didn’t have the spring so I never knew what to do with it. Lol

Knuckles is functioning how a real life beyblade would and Luigi is functioning like a beyblade in the anime does. I take crazy unpredictable Luigi over Knuckles any day. Still love both characters thought!

"Runs away" 😅

good on peebs for correctly using the "another think coming" line

Whoa! I had that Goomba! I always wondered where it came from though.

This video reminds me of Sonic Underground. idk how, but it does
