As you know MBG, MBP, MBA all got proper WRRs, and you can find sort-of rampages for other mods. However I wanted to pay attention to the incomplete mods that can be downloaded on the website and give them some love.
The mods that I prefer to currently get WRRs are Marble Blast Reloaded and Marble Blast Space. Other mods may be done at a later time if community support shows that.
Please note: Reloaded has some levels which don't work and a whole other weird stuff. I'm uploading to this post both missions and interiors directory. Please delete your local copy of both and install the one I've attached below. 7zip is required to decompress.

This update is scheduled to begin collection of records immediately and continue up until May 3rd, 2015. Any further submissions beyond that will NOT be accepted. No future updates are expected. Please be aware that you should work on it now, because you won’t have time later and the extension is unlikely as of this point in writing.
Powerjohn25: you can submit records as well if you as long as you don't go haywire if someone beats your times. It's a flipping WRR.
World Records (or best time that is closest to World Record) must be done in Marble Blast Reloaded and Space and must be on video. .rec files are NOT ACCEPTED.
One of the more controversial bugs, the screenshot glitch, is allowed in all submissions. I don't think any of the levels in the currently discussed mods have any based on my playthrough. If future WRRs on the other mods do occur and MPs do exist in these levels, then the glitch is allowed.
You cannot choose a marble skin. You use the default one installed in the game.
When submitting records, you must submit to two decimal places, NOT three. Date is NOT needed. Please submit the way you want to appear in the rampage. Choose one of these three examples:
Learning to Roll – 1.23 – Matan ‘IsraeliRD’ Weissman
Learning to Roll – 1.23 – Matan Weissman
Learning to Roll – 1.23 – IsraeliRD
Please be aware that all video recording software require the same computer performance. Some video recording software have watermarks/logos embedded on their videos. Those are not allowed! Submissions of those will be instantly rejected.
For video recording, please use the following guidelines:
- Shadows may be turned on/off at your leisure.
- 32-bit
- Original audio is not needed. Custom music will be added to the rampage to replace the in-game music.
- Video must be 30fps or higher. 64fps is recommended
- Please cut your recording accordingly to show the escape menu, and finish with 2-3 seconds of the full end-game screen with your top 3 times.
--> If you use the screenshot glitch on a MP level, you must show two seconds before pressing the ESC button for the restart menu and performing the glitch.
Marble Blast Reloaded - specific
- 1280x800. Other resolutions are not accepted. You cannot use less as the PlayGui is 1280x800.
Marble Blast Space - specific
- 1280x720 or higher. 1920x1080 or other HD resolution recommended.
When submitting videos it’s preferred to have the raw video output. You can use (and should use) DropBox OR mega.co.nz to upload your videos.
If you wish to submit your own encoded video (smaller in filesize), you must follow these guidelines:
- Resolution as mentioned above. No exemptions.
- 5,000 kbps bitrate (10,000 kbps is recommended)
- 192 kbps or higher for audio (320kbps max)
- Video must be 30fps or higher. Most encoding programs give you 30fps at best
- NO WATERMARKS / LOGOS. Instant reject if you have those
SUBMITTING A QUALITY TEST VIDEO:
AVI, MP4, MOV, DIVX AVI are accepted. If you submit MP4/MOV/DIVX please make a 10 second test video and send it to me so I can see whether I can re-encode properly. If I can then you can use the settings you have used for all your videos. If you use anything else e.g. MPEG-2, you must pass the quality test.
Filsize doesn’t matter. I have 3TB of space.
All submissions, test videos and final encode videos must be sent to:
marbleblastforums@gmail.com
Good luck to everyone!
