December 02, 2004 - Your kid's next Happy Meal may feature gold rings, but they won't be filled with onions. McDonald's Happy Meals will feature Sonic the Hedgehog electronic mini-games from SEGA, starting December 3 and lasting until December 27. Along with the games, kids will get the chance to win one of 25 "ultimate gaming systems" along with 2,475 videogames.

The contest, "Search for the Silver Game," concludes McDonald's "25 Years of Happiness" celebration marking the 25th anniversary of the Happy Meal. That's a lot of free toys.

"We are very excited to team up with our partners at SEGA again to bring Sonic and his friends back to McDonald's with eight all-new Happy Meal handheld game adventures," said Kent Voetberg, Director, McDonald's Kids Marketing. "To celebrate the season and the Silver Anniversary of the Happy Meal, McDonald's is thrilled to offer families the chance to win the ultimate gaming system in addition to the exciting new SEGA handheld games included in every Happy Meal."
