A popular gaming marathon group called "The Speed Gamers", are attempting a complete console run through of the Super Mario games this weekend. They are attempting to complete the 10 major console Mario games in under 48 hours! The marathon will consist of:
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario World: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario 64
Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Galaxy
All in under two days.
This is a marathon to raise publicity for later marathons by the group, such as a similar run through of the Metroid series, starting the 15th of next month, and raising money for St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research Hospital.
The group, who have been hosting regular game sessions to raise money for charity since March this year, will be airing this attempt live both on their official site (www.thespeedgamers), and on www.ustream.tv.
There will be live commentary, two chat rooms, and prize give aways after each game completed. So check it out and help the speed gamers raise awareness for their cause, and show people that gaming CAN help others.
