The third annual
Mario Marathon, raising money for the children's charity Child's Play, takes place this Friday at 11AM EDT. Three crazy (but loveable) guys plan to play through most of the major Super Mario titles as the world watches. The greater the donations, the more games and levels they'll play through; at the moment, just over $2500 have been pledged, meaning that these brave men will be "b-dashing" through:
Super Mario Bros.Super Mario Bros. 2Super Mario Bros. 3New Super Mario Bros. WiiSuper Mario WorldSuper Mario GalaxySuper Mario 64 (partially)Of course, an obvious question arises: why the lack of
Super Mario Sunshine? We obviously can't let these guys run a Mario marathon without subjecting them to a 100% SMS Blue Coin Run of Death, right? This is the time for action - go visit the
Mario Marathon website and pledge your support (watching them struggle to gather the blue coins is only PART of the fun, of course). WTMK should be running a themed audio broadcast to tie in to the epic marathon, if I can convince the fungus to back down off the server for a moment.
