I saw this on Joystick today and I thought I'd share.  The story is about a group of guys playing through several Mario games in an attempt to not only raise funds for charity but to finish the games as completely as possible (ie: collecting every star).

Playing Mario For The Kids

AGH! I remember I saw the original marathon of theres last year and I wrote to them and asked them if they would ever do this gain and they clearly told everyone watching(over 200) that they would NEVER do it again.

Now I see that they are already planning part 3 for next year…assholes!
