OK, who remembers (or better yet, who still owns) any of these 4 collectible Super Mario 3 toys that came with McDonald's happy meals?

I explicitly remember owning (and loving) the Koopa Troopa toy. I think they only ran in 1990...

I remember these. This in my opinion was the best Happy Meal they ever did. I remember having the Goomba and the Koopa Paratroopa.

Yea, I don't recall the Mario or Luigi ones too well. They must have been more rare.

I think my cousin may have had the Luigi but I never saw the Mario one except for in the commercial.

My buddy had the Luigi and we used it in a gnarly Romeo & Juliet video we did for English.

Do you still have the video? That sounds really cool. I'm sure we'd all love to see the video if you still have it.

I think syd has the mario, there was a picture in one of his articles.

I used to have the Koopa Trooper (whose air tube and bladder thing I lost almost immediately) and Mario. They were pretty cool.

I fucking wish. My brother taped the classic Rudolph claymation over it.

The video was hilarious. We had an MC Hammer doll as Romeo and some grunge Barbie as Juliet. When they went to the Capulet party in disguises, Romeo's was one of those Rock (the wrestler) heads that shot water... we just ripped a bit out of the bottom and put it on his head.

We definitely got an A on that one.

EDIT: It was on VHS anyway, so I wouldn't be able to get it uploaded myself. This was back about 11-12 years ago. Man, I do wish I still had it though.

Exactly, that's the part I remember the most about it.

Incidentally, mine broke and I used the air bladder to shoot water at people.

I used to have the Mario one.

I remember having the Goomba one. I'm not sure if I had the Luigi one, but I definitely remember it.

I had the koopa but had no idea it came from mcdonald's. Nor did I have the pump.

I just had the plastic koopa.

That was awesome. I still have it downstairs somewhere. I should find it.

I have the Little Goomba in my basement! I had no idea it was a McDonald's toy...

I have both the Mario and Luigi toys.
