Did a bit of math and realized:

The Sphero's ( www.gosphero.com ) diameter: 74 mm
Mars surface gravity: ~3.7 m/s^2

Marble Blast marble diameter: ~0.4 TU
Marble Blast gravity: 20 TU/s^2

The ratio is the same. I conclude that the marble is a Sphero, 1 TU = 18.5 cm, and MBG is set on a terraformed Mars.

If by terraformed Mars you mean Marblaxia, right?

I believe you are a bit mistaken. As I recall, Marblaxia is the archenemy of the marble, not the planet on which MB takes place. Unless there's been a giant retcon in the mythos.

Marblaxia is the arch-enemy indeed. You're thinking of Marblius, Sporlo.

Other possibilities:

Bowling ball on Earth (equivalent Torque gravity: 18.25)
Normal marble on Triton (equivalent Torque gravity: 20.77)

You would have to factor in the lakes of liquid methane on Titan. The properties of that would be close to outrageous in the game.

Why is that link purple?

This signature is real code

Code:

function clientcmd12dothepq() {
    commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor');
}
