As GameCubicle.com first reported
last week, Nintendo and fast-food giant Burger King today launched a kids meal toy promotion featuring
Nintendo's best known characters. Among the collectable action
characters to be included in the promotion, customers will find
Donkey Kong, Kirby, Link, Luigi, Mario, Wario, and Yoshi.
"Nintendo is the world's leading videogame company and their
characters have huge appeal among kids of all ages. Now boys and
girls can have fun with Nintendo Superstars by sharpening their
game-playing skills both in our restaurants and at home," said
Rick Dow, Senior VP of Marketing Programs and Sales, Burger King
Corporation. "By offering interactive skill- based toys inside
our Kids Meals, we've created incredible value for our kid
customers."
To add further excitement to the Nintendo Superstars promotion, more
than 10,000 randomly seeded toys will be hidden in some Kids Meals
throughout the country. Those lucky kids who find one of these
gold-colored toys inside their Kids Meal will automatically win one
Nintendo Game Boy Advance title with a retail value of $45 to $55.
In order to receive the prize, kids simply fill out and mail in the
winner confirmation card.
Each toy is an interactive "game" that imitates scenes
based on popular Nintendo video games. These games include Donkey
Kong Time Racer, Water Whirl Wario, Race Around Bowser & Peach,
Coin Collector Mario Sunshine, Hop and Slide Diddy Kong, Kirby's
Maze Adventures, Soar & Chase Luigi, Egg Hunter Yoshi, Kirby
Ball Toss and Shield Spin Link. All toys are packaged individually
inside a special opaque bag and two different toys will be
distributed each week for five weeks.
