Mario Marathon 2: July 10th at 9:00 AM ET
Beginning Friday, July 10, gamers from Lafayette, Indiana will host the second annual Mario Marathon benefiting Child's Play Charity, which provides toys, games and books to patients of children's hospitals world wide.
The multi-day internet event, broadcast live online, attracts an audience from around the world to watch as a team of three plays through twenty five years of Super Mario Brothers video games.
The initial event, held in 2008, lasted fifty seven hours, attracted over 100,000 viewers, and raised nearly $12,000 for Child's Play.
Prizes and Give Aways
Over the past year we've collected all kinds of Mario stuff, some of it is kind of silly, other stuff is, in my opinion, pretty awesome! Now we plan to give it away! For every $5 donated to Child's Play you'll get a shot at winning a small token of our thanks. We will announce details of the prizes once the event starts.
Improving the Quality
Major improvements to the video and audio quality are planned for this year. See the comparison below.
