Roll into a Sonic drive-in between April 19 and June 30, and your kids (or you; nothing wrong with that) can get toys based on Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam by ordering a Wacky Pack meal.

A mash of the traditional Mario & Luigi RPG mechanics with Paper Mario's colorful art style, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam released for 3DS systems in December 2015. "Sonic Drive-In is the ideal location to premiere the very first toys based on this unique collaboration," said Nintendo of America's Scott Moffitt, executive VP of sales and marketing, in a press release.

Besides hot dogs, chicken strips, and/or juice, your Wacky Pack may include a Mario-shaped toy able to zoom around on wheels, while another toy resembling Paper Mario and Luigi spins like a top.

Gotta catch 'em all!
