Another Mario Marathon is upon us and you know what that means? That's right, it's time to play a ton of Mario all to raise money for the Child's Play Charity.

This year, the team is doing things a bit differently. Instead of playing a bunch of different Mario games, they have instead opted to go for an 880 Moon run of Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch. This also seems to mean that instead of running games for roughly an entire week, they will instead wrap up the marathon late in the day on Sunday, July 22.

Additional details provided by Nintendo say that in the period from March 3 through December 31, 2017, Nintendo sold 4.8 million Switch units. That figure is just for the States.

One video is just a general "show floor demonstration" from E3 2017. The video after that is a look at the Wooded Kingdom. Combined, they offer almost an hour long look at gameplay.
