Mario Marathon Fundraiser Blows Past 2008 Totals - Charity -

kotaku.com — Game marathons became something of a fad last year, but the original is still the best. Year two of the Super Mario Marathon, which raised more than $10,000 in 2008, is already past $16,000.

  • Ugoff, on 07/12/2009, -1/+9These guys are awesome. I'm hoping they can get $6000 so they have to 100% Mario Sunshine.
  • rand21althor, on 07/13/2009, -1/+8I've been watching since Friday morning around 10AM, but missed seeing them beat Sunshine, as I was asleep at the time.

    They're so close to breaking $20k in donations! Keep it up! So fun to watch!

  • bennison, on 07/13/2009, -1/+3From their site: "Unofficial Mario Marathon is in no way affiliated with Nintendo or any other video game company."

    If I were Nintendo, I'd be pimping this like it's going out of style.
  • ckyser, on 07/13/2009, -1/+3maybe somebody should check on that crying baby
  • Javitud, on 07/13/2009, -1/+2I hope this gets dugg up more, these guys have been going at it for almost 65 hours.

    If they hit $24,000 they'll even finish Super Mario Sunshine with a 100% completion rate.
    And it's all for a good cause!

  • uberduger, on 07/13/2009, -1/+1And then make them 100% every Mario game.
    And I... Mean... EVERY! That'd be awesome.

    Edit: Okay, maybe not Picross.

  • robbdammit, on 07/13/2009, -0/+0A little different format for a video game fundraiser, but sarcasticgamer.com ran a marathon last year for pediatric cancer. We (the participants) raised $120k. This year it will be on October 17th. The more the merrier :)

  • VBTech, on 07/13/2009, -1/+1Let's go, guys. Less than $4,000 until they have to 100% Super Mario Sunshine. That'll have them spending a good 10+ hours more, easy. More time for more donations, plus, we get entertainment.
