An acquaintance of mine on another message board is trying to do something charitable with video games. He’s got a 360 and a Wii and has games that someone would play against/with him for some money. What games are there on the Wii that could fit?

Rock Band and Guitar Hero are already covered.

Any of the decent multiplayer games would work fine. Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart Wii would probably work best.

I’ve thought of doing something similar for the library I work at (Can you beat the librarian at Mario Kart? Just $5 to enter!), but I don’t know how to promote it or if my boss would even go for it.
