Gaming Marathon for Child's Play

I'm hoping this is the correct place for a post like this, but if it's not, I apologise - feel free to move it.
My name's Phil, and I'm currently in the process of organising a fund-raiser for Child's Play. I feel, as I'm sure all of you do, that it's a great cause, which is why my friends and I decided to attempt to raise some money for it, with a fund-raising event.
While we're not expecting anything like that kind of success groups like the Desert Bus guys are having, any money raised for the charity is well worth the effort, so we're doing our best to spread the word. We're spinning it as an Australian event, since all of us participating are Aussies, and so far as we know, it's the first Australian Child's Play fund raiser. Who knows, maybe foreign audiences will get a kick out of watching us Aussies get up to all sorts of shenanigans.
Our event is based on a Choose Your Own Achievement system, where we'll be attempting to complete as many custom achievements as possible during the marathon. These achievements work like the Xbox 360 achievements, however they are created by ourselves, and the community. The achievements can be for any game, on any system, and can be as tame or ridiculous as people want them to be.
Currently we have achievements ranging from simply speed-running Halo, to attempting to complete Portal before other team members can consume an entire cake, and even holding Virtua Fighter tournaments, using Guitar Hero controllers. We're encouraging the community to come up with as many achievements as they can between now and the event, I'm hoping you guys will be able to provide some great suggestions.
So that's the deal. We need as many people as possible to come up with their own achievements for games, and pass them on to us. They can be for any game you like, on any system, and they can be as calm or crazy as you want. Feel free to submit them here, or just post ideas and help each other out.

I put forth a suggestion of: Playing tetris on the gameboy for > 10 minutes using only your nose
PSN: SirGrinchX

Heh, playing Tetris with your nose would be insane. You probably wouldn't be able to see whether the moves you were trying to make were actually registering, since your face would be all over the D-Pad.
Thanks for the achievement suggestion, we'll hopefully be able to get this one done. If we can't get a copy of Tetris on the Gameboy before the event, we'll either get it going on another system, or apply the idea to another game. Nose gaming has to be involved in some way!

Not quite what I hand in mind, how about playing that with your hands?
edit for random bolding
Youtube Channel!
We've had a suggestion from somewhere else, to play GT5: P using a steering wheel, but using your feet on the wheel, and hands on the pedals. I'm going to see about purchasing a steering wheel this week, just because it's such an awesome idea.
I'm always keen for more achievements like that one though, if you can think of any more.
I always found trying to do an old platformer like Mario world perhaps with the controller upside down would be funny. Im not sure its late and these ideas are a bit crap sorry
Youtube Channel!
No no no
Drive with your teeth
Bite on the steering wheel and never let go

Uh, we're all geeks here.
WTF is hygiene?
edit:
Someone needs to play Initial D (is there a console version?) with their hand duct-taped to the steering wheel.
GUMTAPE DEATHMATCH-ARU
Hahaha that'd be gold!
OK. I've got one. 4 player Mario Kart (on either the GC or Wii) with four controllers and two teams. Each team has two controllers but they only control one side of the controller (ie: one guy has the steering and drifting on one controller but item selection and shooting on the other controller). First team to 5 wins, wins
also, add booze :P
Yeowch, don't think we'll be able to get that specific game going in our house (there's an arcade with it in town though), but I definitely like the sound of taping someone's hands to the steering wheel. Especially since the wheel I'm getting is going to have 720 degrees of rotation =P
And now, it's sleep time in Australia. Night all!
Complete Forza 2's Nurburgring course with the steering wheel and pedals, with the player and the entire setup facing backward, viewing the TV screen through a mirror.
Ha! I came up with that in ten seconds. I'm awesome at this.
- Set up teams of people.
- Two people per team.
- Blindfold one member of the team.
- Put a beat 'em up on (preferably something silly and over the top).
- Pit two teams against each other.
- The player without the blindfold must bark orders at the person with the pad whom can't see.
- Complete a tournament this way
(you could also add in an extra person per team to really confuse things. Two people shouting orders at you would be awful and funny)
I guess this idea would work with racing games too. Or sports games (I can imagine it working really well on something like Fifa).
Idea 2:
- Get some hats
- Attach a wiimote to the hats
- Play a game of wii tennis using your head (No buttons are used other than to skip replays etc so it'd be fine)
- This could work equally well by tucking the wiimote in to a belt and playing Wii Tennis by thursting and lunging.
::Edit:: I just realised, without reading, that I've stolen Idea 1 from someone above. Completely unintentional. Sorry guys!

This actually is a whole lot of fun. A few buddies and I got really drunk and did this with Killer Instinct.
The thing we did in order to do the combos, the non blindfolded person had to actually yell out what the combo was ie. left left left punch punch etc etc as fast as they could. The small catch was the opponent picked my character while I was blindfolded and vise versa.
It was pretty awesome until my game partner and I could start figuring out which character was which by the combos we were yelling out.
Dance Step game
Two People
One person is each responsible for one side of the board.
(harder than you might think)
Use the two player jogging mode
Attach players together in typical 3 legged race fashion.
Attach wii-mote to middle leg (no smutty comments here please).
Laugh.

I just checked the game library on their website. Fucking laughable if you ask me. Who the hell owns a Wii with two games????
That is just brutal.
I would probably cry trying that...

Somewhat, yes.
You just listed my entire Wii collection! How did you know?
Wii: 5024 6786 2934 2806 | Steam/XBL: Arcibi | FFXI: Arcibi / Bahamut
Using teams of two, one individual plays oldschool Ninja Gaiden for the NES (or Wii Console). The other, dressed in full ninja garb complete with a mask and cardboard sword, must emulate the action onscreen; ie, run in place while the ninja onscreen moves, jump and kneel when appropriate, and swing the "sword" everytime.
Skip all cutscenes to minimize rest time. See how long each team can go until their ninja runs out of steam, or each team MUST go until they finish the game.
This would be EPIC. You could call the achivement "Ninja Guidein" or something.
Steam/PSN/XBox Live:LutExIV
More like Ninja Gayden... mirite??!
What happens when he climbs walls? What happens when he dies?
These events should be handled creatively. I'm liking where this is going.
Nice one. We need as many wheel ones as we can get, so I can justify my purchase of one today/tomorrow. Now I just have to find a way to get the massive mirror off the wall in the hallway...
Awesome. I think I may have to finally take out insurance on my equipment though. I have a nice big LCD TV that might end up with a hole through it T_T
Sorry about the lack of Wii games listed there. We actually have a lot more than just two games, but I just haven't managed to get them all listed there, since there's a lot of other preparation going on. I'll make sure I list all the others we have tonight.
Cracking out some Goldeneye again after all these years could be quite painful, but I think it has to be done.
That could fuel an entire marathon on it's own! I think my friend purchased a piece of shovelware for me for Christmas though, so perhaps I could open it early and give it a go. I do believe it's a Dora the Explorer game...
I'll check the bargain bins at my local game stores too, and see if I can get Ninjabread Man or Anubis II.
Separate post for this one, just because it's so awesome. I don't think we'll be able to get our hands on a real ninja costume by next week, but that might make it even better. We all know how to make a mask with a black t-shirt, and it may be even more hilarious to see each team's ninja dressed up in baggy black clothes, and thongs/sandals/flip flops/whatever they're called in America.
I think we're going to need to do this one, and perhaps come up with more ideas like it. Any suggestions?
Do dance pad controllers work the same way? Because playing a FPS with a DDR pad would be hilarious.
Basically, I'm saying switch the fuck out of some peripherals.
Any racing game: At the start of a race, turn the car the wrong way and drive backwards for the entire race.
WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE:
Mario Bros. 1- Get through any level without defeating an enemy. (Also works for any side-scrolling platformer.)
Tecmo Bowl- Get through a game using Minnesota. For that matter, use only the shitty reverse play. And win.
Super Dodge Ball- The original rules of basketball required you, upon receipt of the ball, to stand firm where you were and simply throw it from there. You shall do the same.
Vegas Stakes- Trust everyone. EVERYONE. Unquestioningly. "Oh, excuse me, I spilled something on you! Here, let me clean it up and pay no attention to my hand in your wallet!" "Sure, why not!" See how long you last.
YOU WILL NEED: Any golf game. The more detailed the better. A Tiger Woods game will do perfectly, but really, the most modern one you can grab will be fine.
2 players
A match play option
RULES:
Let us consider two players, Tiger Woods and Ernie Els.
1. For the first ball on any given hole, Woods and Els will shoot as normal.
2. For the second ball, Woods and Els will play each other's balls. The balls still belong to their opponents, however. The object here is to shoot the ball into as difficult a position as possible. This will be called a Fuck You Shot. So Woods goes to Els' ball and tries to embed it in a tree, Els aims Woods' ball towards that pesky gopher, etc.
3. For the third ball, Woods and Els return to their own balls. Normal shots and Fuck You Shots alternate from then on.
4. So nobody whacks a putt into the parking lot with a driver and makes the game take forever, Fuck You Shots must use the club recommended by the game.
5. Fuck You Shots shall not be intentionally hit out of bounds. (That just places the ball where it was originally anyway. That's no fun. Even an intentional water shot places the ball on the rim of the hazard.)
