$500 Sought to be Raised Through 1/6
Sadly, TSSZ News is not participating in charity related endeavors this year (bah humbug and such) but we can at least tell you about a group of fans who is.
The Sonic Marathon is underway right now, and it’s seeking donations for Child’s Play, which we helped a bit last year. Their goal is more ambitious; they seek $500 for the charity which benefits children’s hospitals around the world. Those behind it–Zack, Nathan, Dan, and Damien–will play Sonic games nearly nonstop until January 6th in the hopes onlookers will contribute toward that goal. So far, they’re pretty far along. The drive began yesterday and as of this writing $200 has been raised.
Right now (also as of this writing) a Sonic Unleashed playthrough is underway, with many more to come in the queue, old and new, obscure and not. There will also be giveaways and competitions, and a $3 donation makes you eligible for a drawing to win Sonic Colors.

Playing Sonic games nonstop until Jan. 6th? Including Sonic 06, Secret Rings, and Shadow the Hedgehog? Good Lord…
@krazeeKidd102
Shut up, as long as theirs games and they’re having fun playing them it doesn’t matter what the games are. Now cork it.
@RaggtimeSonic
Chill out dude it was just a joke lol
@Raggtime
Considering the fact that it’s a major marathon AND a charity event, I’d bet my ass these people aren’t really doing it for pleasure. It’s quite possible and quite likely that they hate those shitty games as much as the rest of us.
inb4 Vulpine comes in and talks how we shouldn’t hate 06 and how his opinion is fact.
Yesterday I got my wii and SONIC COLORS, I’m bit disapointed with nintendo’s console, Sonic Colors is awsome! but Daystages from Unleashed are better in my view (this is just my opinion), still greeeeat game
@ChaoticFox
Don’t you realize that they “chose” to do a Sonic gaming marathon? So these shitty games that you speak of would have been avoided if they chose some other thing to do. I’d bet my ass these people are doing it for pleasure. It’s quite possible and quite likely that they love Sonic games much like the rest of us.
Now get of my case.
I love Sonic games, but not all of them. And if I were to do a MARATHON (especially of that length), I’d damn well have to play some of the shittier ones I don’t care for, just to keep it going long enough. Most of the classic games can be beaten in under an hour apiece. Some marathon!
This is an endurance event to support a cause. This isn’t a bunch of dudes playing their personal favorite games for the sheer joy of it.
You can be a Sonic fan without loving every single game, dude. I REALLY don’t know why you’re getting so riled up by this.
@ChaoticFox
I’m not really riled up about it, I’ve always been a person who likes to start arguments. I know they’re doing it for a cause and there’s many Sonic games that I don’t like, but that doesn’t mean that I have to bash them. They’re just doing it to raise money but I was just thinking that they probably also did it to play some games, even if it’s a marathon. I know you can be a Sonic fan without liking EVERY game, but would you really talk smack about a game gear Sonic title without even knowing anything about it?
@Raggtime
I hardly think Krazee’s expression of shock regarding the situation counts as “bashing”, and I’m sure they did chose the Sonic franchise because they are fans and enjoy many of the games.
But I’m ALSO willing to bet they don’t love every game on that list and at least SOME of them are probably less than thrilled about Sonic 06. That’s a pretty reasonable assumption. I sincerely doubt anybody here is talking smack on games they don’t actually know to be bad.
I don’t mind starting or engaging in arguments, but the whole “get off my case” thing sounded pretty snappy XD
@ChaoticFox
There’s certain things that I react to without really knowing what it really is, like Krazee’s comment. Right now I just don’t want to debate any longer. Sorry everyone.
Desert Bus for Hope includes those behind it playing what
is possibly the worst games ever invented – that’s the
point.
