Mick & Mack: Global Gladiators, is a 1992 platform game developed by Virgin Games and programmed by David Perry for the Sega Genesis. The game features Mick and Mack, characters previously seen in the NES title M.C. Kids, on an environmental mission to collect Golden Arches across four themed worlds: Slime World, Mystical Forest, Toxi-town, and Arctic World. Players control either Mick or Mack using a Super Soaker-style "GooShooter" to defeat enemies and progress through levels filled with vibrant animation and fluid gameplay.

The game stands out for its 1,250 frames of character animation, which was exceptionally high for its time, and a memorable soundtrack composed by Tommy Tallarico, featuring tracks like "McRock" and "Dance Tune". Despite its McDonald's branding, the game downplays commercial elements in favor of environmental themes and fast-paced platforming action. Ronald McDonald appears only at the start and end of the game, guiding the characters' mission.

Originally released in North America in November 1992 and in Europe in April 1993, Global Gladiators received strong critical praise, with Sega Pro awarding it 93/100, citing its polished graphics, challenging gameplay, and energetic sound design.
