What would YOU do for a Nintendo GameCube? was a contest held by Nintendo in 2001, with the winner receiving a Nintendo GameCube prior to its launch. The contest involved participants submitting an idea for a stunt that they would perform to win the contest, with the craziest stunts making it to the finals. More than 17,000 entries were submitted via the official website for the GameCube, at which the results were also published. The finalists were selected on October 26, 2001, and were posted on October 31st of that year at the latest.[1] Five people were chosen for the finals, with two of the stunts that were performed being related to the Super Mario franchise.
