This weekend, six people will attempt to complete every main series Mario game during a sixty hour livestream event, all to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society through Relay for Life. This group has been raising money for Relay for Life for four years, and this is the second year of the Mariothon. The entire livestream can be watched through their twitch.tv stream and on their webpage. Which team will reach their donation goal first, Team Mario or Team Yoshi?

A ridiculously long marathon, raising money for a great cause, and livestreaming the entire event. What more do you need? I’m definitely going to stop in and watch the madness unfold. I know that after eight to ten hours of playing games straight we start to get a little crazy, I can’t wait to see what happens at the fourty or fifty hour mark.

Who: Team Mariothon!

What: Mario games old and new, raising money for Relay for Life for the Canadian Cancer Society!

Where: Watch on their Twitch.tv page here!

When: Saturday, May 4th, at 12pst!
