I already announced it, but yeah, it was true and I just literally screamed
 
Sonic's had a balloon since 1993, I always wondered what the fuck took Mario so long.

Pikachu did get a balloon too, in 2001.

idk why Mario gets left out of things like this, Mario has also yet to get an official Funko Pop figure too when literally like everything has one.
 
Sonic is faster than Mario. That explains why Sonic got a balloon first, among other media types such as film.

Well, to be fully serious Nintendo seems to be very cautious about licensing and Sega seems to be less so.

I guess it's important for Super Mario to have a balloon, as it is a branding right of passage and for young people it will certainly be exciting. But like, I already know Mario's a big deal so it doesn't excite me that much.

I agree that it doesn't excite me too
 
The impact TSMBM had in the world is the legit reason on why this exists. I've been a Mario fan for 15 years, and seeing it's popularity balloon (no pun intended)... I can't put it into words on how this feels, and now we're here: in a world where Mario is now a giant balloon in a parade.
 
Is it me or is other people but something's really off about the balloon, it doesn't look good
 
That's pretty cool. The Macy's parade really is a good sample of the most well-known cartoon characters in American culture. (I know Mario is a Japanese creation, I'm talking about how well known it is to Americans.)
