Super Obama World is a free online video game created by Robert Sundling & William Jacobson of ZenSoft and based on Nintendo's Super Mario World in which gamers play as United States President-elect Barack Obama. The game is an example of viral marketing in politics. It has been described as a satire, containing numerous references to the Republican Party and their defeated vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Further episodes of the game are planned to be released during Obama's presidency, including Arizona, Illinois, and Washington D.C.
