I would have to go with Kicker.

I would also have to go with kicker, took me about 4 days playing about 3 hrs a day to be able to marathon it endlessly. Im sure some people pick up certain games easier than others, but once you figure out the intricacies of Kicker (jump kicking for more points, boss spawning/best player positioning for boss spawn and realising that if you just stay on the bottom floor all the enemies have to jump down to you) its really easy.

I invite anyone to try it out, im sure most of you will be at a marathon level sooner rather than later (I mean like a week max

Lets hear some more reasons why these are the easy.  Not just how long it takes to master a game, but things like, how long of a break you can safely take and how often.

Punchout!! Is fairly easy to learn and loop for many millions. The issue with marathoning PO is breaks. The longest break you get is about 30 seconds and that happens 5 minutes into the game. That and you dont get extra men.

Im sure there are lots of games that are easy in tbis sense but to "marathon" them is another story.

Also, what are you considering a marathon? 12 hours? 24 hours? Or something else?
