Well, it's 50 hours of Mario games and 42 hours of Skyrim in a row, so best of luck for them. For a good cause too.

The games they say they'll be playing are:

Super Mario 64 (brings back memories this, I remember playing whole nights of this game myself)

Super Mario Bros 1/Lost Levels/2/3/World/maybe Yoshi's Island (they say they'll play all the 2D games on the NES and SNES, but aren't too clear)

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario RPG

Mario Kart games

Have to say that I'm not sure if those will last 50 hours to be honest, I think you could beat the 2D ones generally in about 6 hours total. Super Mario 3D Land won't last very long at all and neither will Mario 64 if they're pretty good like I assume they'll be.

What do you think of this thing? I think it's pretty impressive, especially the raising money for good causes part of it.

I say go for it. I'd darn well do it myself, playing some serious Mario for hours and hours on end. Well, I'd need to sleep for about eight hours and give me an hour for meals, but I'd be playing otherwise. Would I do it for charity? Yep. Heck with it if you got me three other players I'd play New Super Mario Bros. Wii from start to finish, including all Star Coins and all secret exits, in one sitting. And I'd do that for charity too.

IF they play some hardcore MK vs mode will last them a few hours.
