Meet Our Players

Micah

Micah will be playing some combination of:

  • Hot Wheels Monster Jam
  • Luigi’s Mansion 3
  • Mario Party
  • Mario Odyssey

Micah will play for 30 minutes to an hour and will be playing basically whatever he wants.

Pledges to Team Micah are for bragging rights, as in “I pledged money to a kid who only has half a heart so his charity can find a long term solution for his heart condition.” Pretty sweet bragging rights if you ask me.

Maria

Maria is super excited to help raise money for her brother’s charity.

She’s so excited that she’s willing to play whatever game you want her to play, as long as you pledge to support her team, and as long as it is one of these five games:

  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Mario Maker
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Kirby Star Allies

Pledge Now to help her decide which game to play!

Pat

Pledge for Team Pat to watch Pat play the Mario game of your choice, go for the objectives you want to see, make things easy or really hard on Pat, or even to match his personal swear jar which I’m sure will be a heck of a pledge 

Pat has the most complicated Pledging possibilities, in part cause he won’t throw much of a fit if he get’s forced to play something really hard.

Game Options include:

  • Super Mario Brothers
  • Super Mario Brothers 2
  • Super Mario Brothers 3
  • Super Mario World
  • Super Mario 64
  • Super Mario Galaxy

Pledge Options Include

  • Pledge per Level Pat Completes
  • Pledge per time Mario dies
  • Pledge per curse uttered by Pat
  • Pledge per game completed

During Gaming Pledging

Donations will be taken during every part of the event, but during Pat’s time, donations given during the event can affect how Pat plays. Maybe he has to hop on one foot while playing or maybe he gets hit in the face with a pie if the donation levels get high enough. You’ll have to tune in to see what happens.
