Back when they were starting to change out the Nintendo 64 toys for whatever was next. My dad was able to ask one of the employees if he could have the large Mario window sticker they displayed on the glass windows for advertisement. We still have it on a clear panel to this day :)
Not gonna lie, when I was getting kids meal toys as a kid, I would ALWAYS prefer the ones that were just plastic toys that didn't do anything except maybe move its arms/legs/head. The toys that did stuff were always interesting, but I was done with them in, like...10 seconds. But if they were just plastic figures, I could use them like action figures, so I got a lot more out of them. Those were my favorites.
Honestly, same I remember BK in Turkey had a line of Sponge Bob toys that were just different action figures of stylized SBs with different outfits, I got damn near all of them and used them as action figures all the time The only “interactive” ones I liked were the ones that either were flat out videogames (those tiger LCD esque ones) or if the interactive button was discreet enough that the figure didn’t look weird haha
My favorites where the stuffed animals. For the exact same reasons as you. It was a more versatile toy. It could be anything you want it to be. So it didn't get boring.
i kinda like when these old fast food toys are based on specific levels or areas from games. It took me a minute to realize at first, but I assume the first toy was based on wario stadium
They also had Cardcaptor Sakura toys in 2002 and Earthworm Jim toys in 1996. I never even knew Taco Bell had kids meals until this video and me looking them up. Based on the amount of toy lines they had it seemed kinda off and on whether or not they’d have toys. That or not all toy lines were recorded
I imagine if I was a kid when these came out, I would have probably played that Donkey Kong game for hours. I imagine as an adult I'd just put it on my desk for display lol
8:30 This Yoshi is my white whale. My brother got it in a meal, I loved Yoshi so he gave it to me, and then it disappeared between my 5th birthday and 6th and I still haven't found it. It's gotta be in that house somewhere...
One of my favorite commercials actually promotes these! It's mario and DK racing and Mario pulls into Taco Bell, the Marii comes cruising next to donkey kong in his new Ferrari. Wait maybe it wasn't a Ferrari
This was a fun one because I have SO much nostalgia for this particular set. (It might even be the first Nintendo fast food promotion I ever experienced.) I had the Yoshi and the DK and despite the former being the "under 3" deliberately simple toy, I loved the crap out of him because he was honestly one of the best plain old Yoshi figures you could get around that time. (I STILL have him, in fact!) Also, fun fact: this whole promotion was originally going to be themed around ONLY Banjo-Kazooie, but the game got delayed into the next year, causing them to make it a "general" Nintendo promotion instead. Oh to experience the alternate timeline where we could get Bear and Bird toys at Taco Bell...
@Keifer Martin According to a promotional image, there were supposed to be five toys. I think they would have consisted of Banjo and Kazooie together, Mumbo, Bottles, Tooty, and Grunty.
THEY SURE DID and this is super nostalgic hahaha, the closest fast food locations we had growing up were Taco Bell, BK, and McDonald’s. I’m tellin’ ya, taco bell dog plushies video hehehehe
Animal Fun Fact: Banjo-Kazooie was supposed to have a kids' meal tie-in with Taco Bell in late 1997. Due to Rareware missing the original deadline for the game that was instead filled in by Diddy Kong Racing, the promotion was scrapped and this promotion was made in its place.
Yeah, it's hard to believe that at one point Taco Bell did in fact have kid's meals! I distinctly remember the set of 4 Pokémon plush toys, released well before Pokémon had really hit it big- the plushies in particular feel like completely random choices (Zubat, Vulpix, Seel and Dratini iirc) because it wasn't a fully established franchise yet with a recognizable mascot decided upon. EDIT: _That was KFC, actually, not Taco Bell._ My bad.
KFC and Taco Bell were owned by the same corporation IIRC, so some Taco Bells were combined with KFCs. Technically, you could have gotten Taco Bell and KFC together and associated the toy with TB that way.
peebs being unaware of these taco bell toys made me realize how old i really am. because i remember getting a couple of these with a taco bell kids meal back in the day (the 3d maze and mario kart maze). I especially remember there being a sweepstakes around this time that if you get a specific coin from your medium or large soda, you can win an n64 (obviously I won nothing because i was just a 7 year old back then).
I was also seven! I guess my family just didn’t go to Taco Bell much when I was little. Iirc we didn’t even have one for a while. It was some local fast food place instead.
(You probably won't see this now) Ive always love your videos PBG, they always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for all the laughs too :) your an amazing RUclipsr!!
These were some of my favorite fast food toys as a kid! I played with that Mario 64 marble maze all the time, and I think I actually still have the Mario Kart 64 controller shaped toy.
My grandparents used to have the Mario Kart toy in a toy basket in the back room. I don't even think they knew what it was, and I had no idea at the time what Mario Kart even was, but the memory of it stuck with me.
I do actually have memories of seeing toys at Taco Bell, though I don't think it was ever a consistently big thing (to the point that one restaurant having toys did not mean that every other did, even in the same city 🤔)
Hey PBG if you want a fun rabbit hole look up “Aquarium of the Aliens” it was a DVD that was a glorified screensaver for your TV, but it had lore! Taco had toys for it and funded the whole campaign. They had plans to make more DVDs but didn’t. It’s an interesting story, I have the DVD.
The most interesting this I got out of this video was that Seattle has a Pinball Museum. Halfway through I just look at Peeb's shirt and do a double take realizing that it just says Seattle Pinball Museum. I regret not knowing this fact last year when I took a birthday trip up to Washington.
Showing off the pyramid puzzle one brought back memories of being young in the 90's and how great it was to be young during that time with advertisements and video games. This video is like comfort food :)
13:46 is the main highlight of the video for me, mainly because of the intentionally dopey sounding music that plays here. It's so silly sounding Does anyone know which game it comes from?
Dude, I remember when Taco Bell had toys! They even put out a couple video games on floppy disc back in the day! Like, they weren’t great games but they came free with a burrito, what more can you ask?
I had the Yoshi growing up as a kid, received it out of context from a National Guard event with my dad. Coolest thing I ever got as a gift, had no idea Mario toys existed at the time. Wild it came from Taco Bell of all places lol. This was in the 90s.
The memories that emerged when he showed the Mario joystick thing- I had one of those when I was little and entirely forgot about it’s existence until now
Taco Bell was my go-to fast food place as a kid, so I ended up getting a lot of their kids' meal toys, including some Phantom Menace, Batman and Robin, Goosebumps and The Mask toys. From this set, I had the maze and Nintendo 64 controller, and I played around with both quite a bit, although with the controller I mostly just tilted it so I could move ahead faster. Also, I was a Sega/Playstation kid, so this was my greatest exposure to the N64.
@@ChargeQM I wonder if people are overloading it on the fire sauce or something? Or maybe they are also drinking too much? I've never had much of an issue eating at Taco Bell either and I sometimes can have a pretty sensitive stomach. The few times I've had a problem while having Taco Bell, I was super drunk. And drinking messes up my stomach so I don't think it had anything to do with the Taco Bell.
oh god this specific set of taco bell toys...boy this takes me back. between me and my brother we had got all but the donkey kong maze, and surprisingly enough the Yoshi doll was the coveted possession between my brother and me. I dont know who got it originally, but we would fight over it constantly because we both loved yoshi so much. looking back i was a jerk using my age to my advantage (my brother was like 3 and i was 9), but i think i did eventually keep the doll and still have it in a box somewhere. now the most fun one for me was indeed the mario maze. i remember spending hours with that thing, running through the entire circuit of the maze multiple times, putting it away for months, then picking it back up again to do it all over again. good times.
oh my god, I had that Donkey Kong one as a kid. I remember wanted the Star Fox toy as a kid because Star Fox 64 was one of my favorite N64 games...Glad I didn't get it now lol but the inside of it looks cool
I got these toys in Taco Bell back in 1997. They asked me if I wanted a gift box to put it in since it was close to Christmas when they did it. I decided to say yes. I’m not sure if I have the happy meal box anymore, but I think still have gift box since I never put toy in it.
I have found these videos fascinating. I've never actually gotten toys from Fast Food places before, I had no idea that there were so many Nintendo ones. I'm hoping that the numbers show that these videos work well cause I want more!

More fast food toys! Thanks so much for watching, hope you like the video. :)
More of these to come in the future. Maybe some Wii related ones...? 👀
Can't wait ☺️
Hello there
Can't wait to watch more peebs
I look forward to more of these.

You're correct, I once had this and can confirm that to be the case.
This unlocked a deep memory. I had the controller toy, the DK tree and the diamond pyramid puzzle thing when I was a kid. Good times.
Taco bell had Digimon cards in their kid meals in 2000. And Dairy Queen use to have toys in their kids meals too. I miss those days. lol
They also had Cardcaptor Sakura toys in 2002 and Earthworm Jim toys in 1996. I never even knew Taco Bell had kids meals until this video and me looking them up.

Dixie Kong is technically in Mario kart tour, but... Literally everyone is in Mario kart tour, so that's really not that impressive.
But honestly though, they should just put MKT on Switch.
@@sinteleon Thanks for the Spoiler...

"Blind grab!" Well it can't be a peebs fast food toy video without Peebs getting hurt at least once so... 😂

A BnK promo would've been neat tbh
I always love these fast food toy videos and i had NO clue taco bell did that 😂 very excited to watch ☺

Yep.
p u p p i e s
SHUT UP SPRINKLES
I have a plush but sadly. He doesn't talk anymore
I remember as a kid being determined to getting every single one of the Taco Bell Nintendo toys, which I did. 😅
I love how simple but insanely FUN these videos are. I hit Like every time because I love this channel. Editing is S-tier as always.
Commenting PURELY for the algorithm, Peebo. Love your content, and you totally deserve more viewers and subscrimbles.
Much appreciated!
2:25 Nowadays with the intronets you can just look all this stuff up, but when i was 7 when this Taco Bell stuff came out, I would've KILLED for this!
5:01 I had one of those in my toy van when I was a kid but I didn't know what it was until now. I knew it looked a little bit like a 64 controller.

I have the Vulpix and the Zubat... They have been well loved. But they were so soft!
12:20 I can't believe Taco Bell released the Millennium Puzzle as a Mario toy...

I never even knew that Taco Bell had options for kids meals even tho I went several times before they stopped selling it.
6:45 the best cut off scream peebs has done
Cause even Taco Bell wanted hop in on the Nintendo kids meal toys bandwagon.
Not gonna lie the joystick on that toy isn't that much of a decrease in quality from the one on the n64 controller.
You just unlocked a memory of childhood! I had all of those toys as kid, but in my country, you didnt get them from Taco Bell but from Pizza Hut
My grandparents used to have the Mario Kart toy in a toy basket in the back room. I don't even think they knew what it was, and I had no idea at the time what Mario Kart even was, but the memory of it stuck with me.

The last ten seconds were absolutely priceless. Thank you so much 🤣

1:33 Mario Kart Tour, it's a mainline game with Dixie Kong and a lot more original characters that the series never had
11:54 omg!! i had this too!! :D
This brings back memories. I remember getting the DK and Yoshi toys. Taco Bell was amazing in the 90's.
Wait, Taco Bell had toys? I never, ever knew that
Just had my last day of classes.
Got home.
Saw a notification for a new peebs vid.
Todays a good day.
12:22 Oh man I had that one when I was really little but i never knew where it came from
Yoo the Rythm Thief ost at 1:44 10/10 I'm glad someone out there knows it exists, the game had such good music
It's almost uncomfortable how much PBG is really just doing a JonTron bit but then down the line Chadtronic is ripping off this pretty hard.
I agree completely. PBG’s delivery on a lot of his jokes is essentially just an old school JonTron impression. don’t know the other guy though.
Showing off the pyramid puzzle one brought back memories of being young in the 90's and how great it was to be young during that time with advertisements and video games. This video is like comfort food :)
7:28 say what you want, that's good ASMR to me.

0:58 is a mood and a half
I absolutely LOVED these as a kid. We hit up taco bell at least once a week. Got em all. Wish I still had any of my kid stuff.
that yoshi toy was likely something you had to specifically ask for since it's for 0+ which is why it only shows him. probably decently rare.
I had the Yoshi growing up as a kid, received it out of context from a National Guard event with my dad. Coolest thing I ever got as a gift, had no idea Mario toys existed at the time. Wild it came from Taco Bell of all places lol. This was in the 90s.

"Wow!"
*"You're a freaking bigot."*
Well... technically Dixie Kong and Funky Kong are in Mario Kart Tour, the mobile game. Even DK Jr. too. I guess that's something? Hahaha.
A Tako Bell joke? Brilliant. Give the editor a raise.

More fast food Nintendo toys!
8:35 peebs talks to jontron
If they had an Arwing toy instead of that... thing, I would of killed for it as a kid. Love Star Fox 64.
PBG declaring they will be easy then struggling with the toy for ages is hilarious.
13:11 The epic comeback no one asked for but we all needed
I legit think I had the Yoshi toy as a kid, before I even knew who Yoshi was.
I wish Taco Bell was more of a thing in the UK sometimes, then I remember what it does to your stomach... 😂
I have had stomach issues with Taco Bell only twice. I don't understand why people seem to have so many problems, unless you're eating far too much.

12:11 the school thot in the locker room with the football team
My mom surprised me with the Yoshi toy when I was 7! 🥰 Best mom ever!
The Star Fox stuff is so funny to see since Star Fox never has a front seat anymore
The maze one honestly looks ok, not saying it was hard or anything but hasso many sides and stuff.
That maze pyramid unlocked a deep memory for me. Had that as a kid
12:20

"Why is Dixie Kong not in Mario Kart?" Better question is, why is she not in Smash?
I had these toys. They were pretty cool.
At first glance I thought the Star Fox one was going to be one of those cheap LCD toys they used to have. Would have been better.

I have so many memories of the Star Fox blaster. It was like early Switch to us.
What is it actually meant to do? I couldn't tell in the video from whatever pbg was doing
@@soupysoup9340 It fires the metal BBs into a target. You control the speed by pressure on the handle. It's simple as can be but it was cathartic.

Forgotten childhood memories reloaded... I legit had all these toys, except the the starfox one... damn, im old af...

I totally had the green controller maze! I actually remember playing with it quite a bit. I was a simple child lol
Dixie not being in Smash Bros. should be considered a war crime.

Wow, I remember these toys, I still have the Star Fox and the Mario Maze... somewhere.
Would love to see peebs hair truly unchained, mid back.
One of these toys brought back an ancient memory in me
everytime i see a peebs video i have to realize again that his editor must be the most crazy man alive
I still have at least my Yoshi from this year for sure. Such good memories. I wish I could find my pogs from this.
I have found these videos fascinating. I've never actually gotten toys from Fast Food places before, I had no idea that there were so many Nintendo ones. I'm hoping that the numbers show that these videos work well cause I want more!
you want more fast food? there will be.
They brought these toys to Pizza Hut in my country! Oh and I'm pretty sure the Star Fox one worked a bit better than that, but still it wasn't fun.
