MBG New World Records Topic

Update!

YouTube version will be coming soon!

24th December - Beginner
27th December - Intermediate
31st December - Advanced

Get some spare clothes, you'll need a lot of these.

As a reminder, SDA version will have 2 audio commentary tracks, so if you want to hear Pascal and Matan chat and talk about the game, levels, specific details, anecdotes and stuff, it's a recommended download!

Reminder: the two audio commentary tracks are in Hebrew and French, so have your personal translator handy.

WIN!!!

Is there going to be another MBP rampage, or is it just MBG? I'd still like an SDA for MBP's last rampage.

Love

And I like the suspense buildup between releases.

WOO HOO!!

By the way… are these dates in your time zone?

I'll try for evening releases (my dates) so it's the same date in USA (minimum east coast). That said, you're gonna have to be up from midnight-3am to be a first watcher, haha.

yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!!!!

BEGINNER LEVELS:

FIRST!
lol post first, watch second, and I'll edit this post afterwards!

EDIT:

Wow. Love the video quality. Clean is the best way to describe it.
Watching the short levels is like tasting fine wine (which I haven't do, so maybe this is nothing like it ), if you take the levels in one big gulp you'd miss all the subtleties of the perfect edge hits and the perfect double-bounces on the corners. But if you've seen these levels played over and over for years, you can just savor the sweet improvements that have been made. It really amazes me that Time Trial is now a full 5 hundredths lower than it was when I joined the community! And that Winding Road blind finish was just a PERFECT mini-finale and setup for THE Finale.
Well done all (w/a very special s/o to Pascal for being a beast. Love the marble).

I posted my pair of comments on the video page, but here I'd just like to say that this video is awesome and makes me want the other two NOW!

no words

What was that on Trapdoors lol...

Great video, I'd like to see what tweaks you guys came up with on intermediate c:

The last three were just amazing! In particular, I remember not too long ago when we thought that the Platform Party traplaunch was impossible. Now it's played like kid stuff.

Marble Blast Gold World Record Rampage #3 :: Intermediate

You may have thought that some levels couldn't go any faster, or that they have that seemingly impossible time that can never be beaten. Well, starting now we are showing to you that you are very, very wrong. If anything, this is a big tease as to whats coming in the Advanced levels!

Enjoy!

P.S. - Don't ask for the songs.

Loved the run? Like, comment and check our other videos! If you can, do visit marbleblast.com for more Marble Blasting goodness.

yes, agreed. It is truely awesome to see these amazing runs!

I lol'd at Go for the Green. #classic

My favorites had to be Go for the Green (did not expect that path), Marble Playground (who would have thought to use the Super Bounce?), Gauntlet (epic), and Upward Spiral (nice new path).

Yep I love when underused powerups like the SA and SB get used to record break! And ya also gotta love the double powerup catches as in Spiral and Spork.

Then you will absolutely love twp of the Advanced levels

What are the songs?

But seriously, amazing job. Go for the Green was totally unexpected, and Marble Playground blew my mind, but all were amazingly well played. Can't wait till advanced.

Wow, cool site.


Commentary as I watch:

I thought AlexthePMG had an improved record on JJJ (2.38)...?
Major motion sickness and run sickness on the Monster Speedway levels!
Go For the Green was incredible. I can't believe such an old, simple, boring level has a totally new route!
TriTwist was perfect! Great tweaks since last time.
I can't believe you guys found ANOTHER amazing route for Marble Playground! AGAIN.
Everything else was, of course, epic. Glad to see Sporlo join the lineup.

^ that, and he decided he isn't gonna bother to .rec something that works for us.

JJJ must be cursed or something. Two players with .rec issues in a row . Granted, one was just a silly mistake, but dang.

No, it's just cross-over. Mac .recs don't like to work fully for Windows. Funny enough the one he sent me worked all the way, it just missed a gem by like 1mm. Still, he isn't willing to rerecord whatsoever.

Who is the other player you're thinking of, Sporlo?

Oh... ok then

After this embarrassing situation I go into a MB brake (not 4 ever).
So much sorry to pascal, maten, alex.........

see u guys

My top 3 favorite:

Go for the Green: Genius path. Who would've thought the fastest time could be achieved my not going through the hole?
Space Slide: Uncomprehensible speed. I love how the marble goes straight through the planet.
Marble Playground: Awesome route. I am beginning to think that Marble Playground is the BEST pathfinding level of all time.

I've noticed that since 2006, Grand Finale and Marble Playground have grown similarly in their paths, until this year. Here I've started with Pascal's first videos of these levels and continued the path #'s from there.

2006: Grand Finale 38.73 [path 1], Marble Playground 38.98 [path 1], 36.71 [path 2]
2006 [WRR1]: Grand Finale 36.78 [path 2], Marble Playground 36.17 [path 2]
2008/9: Grand Finale 35.52 [path 2 with a tweak], Marble Playground 34.83 [path 2] — these were planned for the WRR2 before they were beaten
2009 [WRR2]: Grand Finale 33.61 [path 3], Marble Playground 32.77 [path 3]
2011: [WRR3] Grand Finale 31.51 [path 4], Marble Playground 31.10 [path 4]

GF and MP started off with similar times, and they've continued downward at somewhat similar rates, ending with MP saving 0.66 second more overall. And then, MP's 5th path came along and upset the balance.

2011: [WRR3] Marble Playground 28.95 [path 5]

Will there ever be a 29 second path for GF? Given how many paths I thought were the best possible for a level that were since beaten by an even better path (MP 32.77 for starters), I won't say no too soon…

I meant to say by the planet. But it does kinda go straight rough the rings.
