It kind of feels like we're going a bit mad, because we've definitely covered this new set of Sonic-themed McDonalds' Happy Meal toys thrice now (four times if you include the recent eBay auction). And yet, every so often some new minor detail pops up on another website that makes it feel like Groundhog Day all over again. This time, it's news of two new games in the LCD Happy Meal toy lineup.
Swirlvision reports on the new fast food collaboration, which is due to start on June 27th, and has all the usual quotes and info that we've heard before... except instead of the four we already know about, this latest article mentions a total of six, along with descriptions for all the others.
The two games we haven't heard about yet are called "Tails Sky Patrol" ('Join Sonic the Hedgehog's friend, Tails, as he flies through the sky trying to collect rings.') and the excitingly-named "Sonic the Hedgehog Action Game" ('Launch Sonic the Hedgehog up and down over platforms on an adventure to collect rings and make it safely through the obstacle course challenge.').
Here are the descriptions for the other four games:
- Sonic the Hedgehog Speedway: Gamers are challenged to move Sonic the Hedgehog back and forth around the racetrack without running into anything.
- Shadow Grinder: Help Shadow maneuver around cracks and jump over breaks as he skateboards down a tricky rail.
- Knuckles Soccer: Gamers are faced with a soccer challenge from Eggman, in which they help Knuckles dive back and forth and block goals.
- AiAi Banana Catch: Bananas are falling from the sky and AiAi needs help moving back and forth to collect as many bananas as possible.
Why don't you have more quotes from SEGA and McDonalds while we're here, too? Go on.
