Nintendo's celebrating the launch of Super Mario Sunshine by breaking a world record!

Super Mario Sunshine releases in just a few weeks here in the good old U S of A. To celebrate it's launch, Nintendo is going to cook pasta! In fact, they're so excited, they're going to cook up the largest bowl of edible pasta in the world. In total, the pasta and sauce will weigh 2,700 lbs. The old record was just above 2,500 lbs. The pasta and sauce are being provided by Bucca di Beppo.

But wait, there's more! Not only is Nintendo cooking up all this pasta, but they're also giving fans a chance to win a tropical vacation to Hawaii. All you have to do is dress up like Mario. The crowd will pick the best Mario look-a-likes and those winners will dive into the giant pasta bowl to try and win the trip and other Nintendo prizes.

If you're crazy enough interested in this contest, all you have to do is get in the best Mario costume you can and show up at Washington Park in the Little Italy section of San Francisco on Thursday August 22nd. The event lasts from noon till 2pm.
