Super Obama World is a free online video game created by Robert Sundling and William 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. Further episodes of the game are planned to be released during Obama's presidency, including Arizona, Illinois, and Washington, D.C.
