Mario Marathon 3 Is Live Right Now, Raising More Money For Charity
If you're bored at work today, do yourself a favor and have a background tab tuned to www.mariomarathon.com. It's their third annual fundraiser for Child's Play, and it's always a fun event to keep tabs on. For those unfamiliar with the marathon, these guys play an utterly absurd amount of Mario, and the lengths that they go to depend on how much cash they bring in for the charity.
Take a look below at what they'll be playing for the forseeable future:
As of this writing, the guys are on World 8 of the original Super Mario Bros. and have raised over $8,000. As you can see, they have quite a bit of Goomba-stomping to do (and a lot more money to raise), so keep an eye on their progress and help out Child's Play if possible.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
