Super Mario Marathon LIVE all weekend! Reached $10,000 in Child’s Play donations on Sunday!

A live marathon of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine & Super Mario Galaxy is going on as we speak! Click “Play” to start the LIVE feed!

That means that right now, three former college room mates (Brian Brinegar, Dan May and John Groth) are attempting to play through each one of the above Super Mario games in their entirety. That’s seven games, totalling fifty-five hours!

So why, you ask, are they doing this? Well besides for fun (and bragging rights), the trio are raising money for the Child’s Play charity! So please, make sure to give what you can because it’s going towards a good cause.

The marathon will be broadcasting live all weekend, so be sure to check it out! I know I definitely will.

Also, check out Mario Marathon site for a FAQ, to chat with the guys, or to make a donation to the Child’s Play charity.

Sunday update: The weekend-long live marathon of Super Mario games has reached $10,000 in donations for Child’s Play. Congrats guys!

Let’s hope they don’t get hit by a Tornado! I agree it’s fun just seeing their antics, much less playing through all the games.

I know Mario 64 like the back of my hand, so it’s funny seeing him stuck at the 8 Red Coins for the second world.

I urge anyone who can to donate to the Child’s Play charity via their web-site. Their goal is $5,000. let’s help them reach it!

Spread the word as well!
