The Speed Gamers 48 hour Mario Marathon is coming to a close. The two day long, epic attempt at the Mario series was actually completed within the first 24 hours, literally half of the time it was estimated, shocking both the viewers, and The Speed Gamers themselves. That means The SpeedGamers completed:
Super Mario Bros. (8 Min.)
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels (23 min.)
Super Mario Bros. 2 (1:18)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (24 min.)
Super Mario World (23 min.)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (3:25)
Super Mario 64 (2:02)
Luigi's Mansion (4:25)
Super Mario Sunshine (5:27)
Mario Galaxy (5:45)
In 24 hours.
This feat was impressive to say that least, and the remaining 24 hours was dedicated to going back through and 100% completing the previous games.
The event was organized to promote The Speed Gamers August marathon, where they will be attempting to complete 8 Metroid games in under 72 hours. This event will be broadcast on ustream.tv starting August 15th. Donations will be accepted during this time, and 100% of those donations will go to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
