Madmen completing every Mario game for charity

We
love Mario. We mean, we're somewhat contractually obligated to, being huge nerds and all. Still, there's certain stages in the core
Mario games that are simply excruciating to play -- we usually skip them during our nostalgic romps. That's why we can't help but admire the efforts of
three men who are playing through every
Super Mario title -- collecting every star, completing every level and
Shining every Get! (Err -- getting every Shine.)
They're not doing this for
fun, of course -- for the second year in a row, they're running through this "Mario Marathon," collecting donations for
Child's Play. They've already been at it for two days -- but with the team yet to totally complete
Super Mario 64,
Super Mario Galaxy,
Super Mario Sunshine, then
Super Mario Galaxy again (as that
totally secret character), there's a lot of ballgame left to be played.
