I know there are a couple of people who've watched this over the years. Well, after the year off in 2015, the Mario Marathon is back. For those of you that have never heard of it, the Mario Marathon is a group of friends in Indiana who every year play pretty much every console Mario game to raise money for Childs Play charity. Childs Play buy consoles, videogames, toys and books for childrens hospitals and domestic violence support centres around the world. The more money raised, the more levels get unlocked and they keep playing until all the unlocked levels are done. In the 7 years they've been doing it, they've raised over $500,000 and, at the moment, they're nearly 27 hours in and raised nearly $26k. Don't expect great gameplay (really, don't!) but if you want to see some goodhearted goofs acting stupid and raising money, check it out. Check it out and maybe throw them a few dollars. www.mariomarathon.com/

Also, if you donate $3.33, you might get a surprise when your name shows up on screen.

Not to stalk, but whereabouts in the state? My brother does this with his friends in January. (The money donated goes for pizza.)
Good work, guys!

Don't know where in Indiana. I know some of them went to Purdue.

Don't know where in Indiana. I know some of them went to Purdue. In past years, Indianapolis news crews have interviewed them for the news during the marathon. I know they live close to Indianapolis (I follow some of the people involved on Twitter, and a few of the visiting people do live in the city), but they're out in the suburbs a bit and not within Indianapolis itself.

They've also added a Booty-O's donation amount.
No-one's figured out the amount that triggers it, or what'll happen when it's triggered but it's certainly piqued curiousity in the chat.

Update.
$7.02 triggers the New Day donation. 702 being their combined weight.
