Super Obama World is a free online video game created by Robert Sundling and William P. Jacobson of ZenSoft and based on Nintendo's Super Mario World in which gamers play as United States President 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, particularly its defeated vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and it uses modified Super Mario World sprites, such as a modified big mario for Obama, or the flag pole for the game's flag pole.
