Nintendo of Canada Ltd. of Vancouver and eBay.ca of Toronto have teamed up for a fundraising initiative for the Starlight Children's Foundation charity. Funds are being raised through a charity auction on eBay.ca. Ten limited edition collector's copies of the video game Super Mario Sunshine, signed by its designer Shigeru Miyamoto, will be auctioned. Miyamoto also created the Donkey Kong and Zelda video game characters. The first two Super Mario Sunshine games went up for auction on Aug. 6. The bidding closed on Aug. 13 at approximately $450. The last items will go up for bids next week. The Starlight Children's Foundation is a non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
