After the enormous success of the week long Final_Fantasy_Marathon (July_2009), the Mario Marathon (June 2010) has fallen in the footsteps.
Mario Marathon (June 2010) was TheSpeedGamers' 18th Marathon and 14th for a charity. The Marathon went on air from June 11 at 6pm CST to June 18 at 6pm CST, however the marathon was extended several more hours, to where a donation deal came in to keep it going on. The marathon was carried on to 3pm CST on Saturday, June 19. The donation goal was $50,000, and the donation total at the end of Saturday, June 19 was $57,301. Where both the donation goal was reached, and the “Most” Donations Raised Record was broken. The former record from The Final Fantasy Marathon was $50,734.63.
From the Marathon, plenty of special guests and gamers were introduced. Ambassadors the1stpkmnfan & Ruju, Forum Moderator StopDropAndBear, YouTube LPer Chuggaaconroy, and Forum Administrator Localretard, came to the marathon at TheSpeedGamers house. Many of them played and commentated to get donations in, and helped out this goal for ACT Today. Other special guests included Psychotaku, for updates about E3 during his night commentating shifts. Anatotitan and FrenchToast1 also came into the marathon to help out with commentary over Skype. During the marathon, TheSpeedGamers were interviewed by a local news station. In addition, Fangamer created a video supporting the marathon and explaining the situation with the Pipe Vault Shirts misprints.
