The Kingdom Hearts Marathon was TheSpeedGamers' third Holiday marathon and the 21st marathon, and 17th for a charity. The charity that was being played for is BestFriends.org; a society that supports the caring and rescuing of abandoned animals and pets.
The Kingdom Hearts Marathon marked TheSpeedGamers official return to Justin TV's streaming services. As a part of JTV's streaming, broadcasts are automatically recorded and saved in two-hour segments.
Multiple TSG members came down to help out in the marathon, specifically Calvin, Baltes, Lothis and 1stPkmnfan. Others that were present for the marathon included Anatotitan, Toast, StopDropAndBear, Dustin, Pierre, Stella and Daniel.
As a part of the animal theme, Britt and Chase's pet dog Skipper and Lothis' pet hedgehogs made appearances to demonstrate how much the Community loves pets.
The final donation total passed the 10k goal, and reached $10,534.50 in donations with 485 contributors.

Memes Spawned
G6
Throughout the marathon, Baltes called almost anything at times “like a G6” which means cool or awesome in slang. This was inspired by the song “Like a G6”, which is technically a type of drum one can play.
TSG Christmas Tree/Ornaments
For the Kingdom Hearts Holiday Marathon 2010, TheSpeedGamers put up Christmas Tree in the house, and decorated it with ornaments made by the community. Ornaments were created and posted in the forums, in order to be added to the TSG tree this Holiday season.
