Marble Blast Ultra (Platinum 1.60) World Record Rampage

Frostfire simply attempted a different path but was unsuccessful. Best of luck on traplaunches! Those are fun!

No they're not.

Early Frost 4.982
Moving Up 2.842
Gem Collection 2.393
Bunny Slope 1.856 (Elapsed time of almost 35 seconds )

Not sending in the recordings yet because these are all pretty easy to beat (Early Frost certainly being the hardest, but still not that hard). I don't have the best IC but mine's pretty decent. Snag these world records while you can!

Edit: Schadenfreude 19.614

Hypercube 8.725.

Going for Skyscraper and then I'll switch to recording for improvements on my current runs. (I'll shoot for sub 8.7 on Hypercube, though I've had enough trouble with it for the meantime.)

Edit: 8.581 Hypercube (First real world record lol).
I hate this double traplaunch on Skyscraper.

Second Edit: 24.855 on Skyscraper!

Just wanna say that I have a video of 2.13 for frictional concerns and Rigel has both bridge crossing and MMP recorded but none of these are submitted, which is why they're not in the list. I will submit my run as soon as I can (extremely busy this week cuz math test on friday the 21st).

granted, though requesting 60fps

Hypercube 8.512 - I have 8.488 on the leaderboards but it needs a perfect ending to even get sub 8.5.

Half Pipe Elite 1.481 - Video quality is not as good (though still at 1920x1080 and 60+ FPS) because I was recording in .mov for an upcoming video. I'll send it in, but I'm keeping my 1.484 just in case he doesn't like the quality drop.
(@Matan I'd like it if you said something sooner rather than later so I know earlier whether to use this run or the 1.484 one.)

Working on double TM path for Survival of the Fittest because 7.314 is a bad time. Traplaunch is more of an ass than Skyscraper. Two pissy bloopers so far.

I can't say anything because you never sent any video's decryption key with the email, so I can't download anything...

In the midst of writing a new email with the decryption keys along with my recent records. I had to leave for a game, so unless I can finish it during halftime I'll do it when I get home in a couple hours.

EDIT: Should be good now, try it and tell me if something doesn't work through a private message. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Moving up 2.80
gem collection: 2.35
bunny slope: 1.84

NOTE:

I added S (Sent) or N (Not sent) before the level name in the list to mark whether Matan has that recording or not. Make sure to submit the runs marked with N when you can.

Ramps Reloaded 13.04

thanks to Regislian for showing me the tweak

Survival of the Fittest 6.340
[strike]Going for sub-6.[/strike] I'm sick of it.

[strike]Matan, do you want a .zip of bloopers when I'm finished with recording?[/strike] Sent one anyway. And I sent Winding Road because apparently I never sent it before.

Hey guys, I was supposed to write down the end date, but forgot

I'm giving you guys a final extension and final date on this rampage:

31st December 2016. Nothing later.

Update time!

OK I sent in my Frictional Concerns run, these runs are left.

Not recorded

[strike]Cube Root[/strike]

---

Not sent in

Regislian

[strike]Platform Party[/strike]
[strike]Jump Jump Jump![/strike]
[strike]Obstacle Course[/strike]
[strike]Under Construction[/strike]

Nature Freak

[strike]Learning to Roll[/strike]

Rozi

[strike]Winding Road[/strike]

Kalle

[strike]Extreme Skiing[/strike]

Pretty sure I've sent in Winding Road in the past. Just asked Matan on Webchat to see if he got it [strike](and still waiting for an answer)[/strike]. Results are negative. Sending again. Edit: Matan got it.

Here's a stuff-to-do list for Kalle because he told me to make one. (Things that have a line through them have been done.)

[strike]Talk to Rigel about Cube Root because I'm pretty sure he's recorded it.[/strike]

[strike]Change my time on SOTF.[/strike] [strike]Change WR status on SOTF to "WR" instead of "Not WR".[/strike] Kalle ninja'd me.

[strike]List a name for Frictional Concerns.[/strike]

[strike]Mark Winding Road as sent.[/strike] [strike]Change previous post and remove Winding Road from the "Not sent in" list.[/strike]

Sent Learning to Roll 2.430.

And so, all levels have recordings sent in. You have until the end of the year to improve runs, so there is still time to steal some WRs!

Not sure if I have posted in this thread, but I figured with 5 days left I want to call out some times I think can be improved. I may or may not make attempts at these myself, but I've been struggling with the motivation to.

First one I will call out is my own. And it's Pitfalls. I have a 8.21 here as a PB, and that 8.32 was just a random recording I had lying around. I didn't actually intend it to be good enough for the rampage. But here we are.. If anything it looks clean, but obviously quite beatable.

Where's jack when you need a sub 7 Platform Party? This has to be one of the biggest margins atm?

Winding Road WR is 8.22, that's .13 off on a beginner level.

Sub 4 Obstacle Course, anyone?

Those are the immediate standouts to me, especially since I'm not gonna complain about the IC levels. Generally some really nice times have been posted for the Rampage so some credit is due aswell.

I can do Obstacle Course.

Obstacle Course 3.937, and it beats Regislian.

Platform Party 6.427.

I'm sorry what

Survival of the Fittest 5.518!!!

Pitfalls 8.28

Gauntlet 8.164, small improvement but it may as well be in the rampage.

Gauntlet 8.163, what a great improvement! I'll keep trying though.

EDIT: 8.118.

Marble Blast Ultra (Platinum Edition) World Record Rampage

Just over a decade ago, Marble Blast Ultra was released for the Xbox 360. With the help of numerous runners who created and refined numerous routes to the finest of details, three years later we received a full rampage for the game.
In 2014, Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 came to life and one of the main pieces in the big update was MBP's edition of Marble Blast Ultra, featuring all 60 of the original levels plus the exclusive MBG Xbox level Hypercube. The combination of all the new paths, tweaks, and tricks with the fact that Platinum's edition of MBU has slightly different properties called for a brand new world record rampage.
After a year of with many hours spent recording, a group of six runners: Regislian, Kalle29, Rosie, Rigel, Nature Freak, and hPerks, present to you the Marble Blast Ultra (Platinum Edition) World Record Rampage.

Enjoy!

Oh my freaking god, it's great to see that this is finally out.
Some of the runs are just what the hell. The new paths, tweaks, and all that other stuff are impossibly wow. I thought that the old rampage on Adustalarm's channel was good and now we have this. This is just unfair.
I'm genuinely happy with my contribution to this world record rampage, and the fact that it's my first is a big achievement so that's worth mentioning. Some of the runs could be better (and the majority of them aren't even world records), but things like Skyscraper, Survival of the Fittest, and Hypercube are my proudest moments of the entire video. I also stupidly spent almost all of my recording time going for the levels that are based around a traplaunch (Skyscraper, Survival of the Fittest, Endurance, and Natural Selection), but someone had to do them and none of the other levels looked fun.
Enough said about that. I have a list of my personal favorite runs and some comments to go along with them.

---

Bridge Crossing - Beats the old world record by a second and another sweet edge hit on the wall.
Hazardous Climb - That bumper hit went to a level I never thought possible.
Marble Melee Primer - No one's beating this. Too optimized.
Platform Party - Someone pull this off in MBG. @Nature Freak
Skate Park - hPerks' only appearance and not a bad level choice. Nicely optimized.
Urban Jungle - New path!!!
Gauntlet - That edge hit was blindingly fast.
Sledding - Grabbing the super jump and the gem all in one bounce, AND using the checkpoint to slightly change direction, AND the edge hit from the MBG WRR. That's too much.
Great Divide - I think that's the strangest checkpoint abuse I've seen.
Black Diamond - I never thought sub-5 would be possible. Some of the tweaks here were insane.
Skate to the Top - I've always loved how this run looks. The edge hit at the end is really sweet.
Tree House - Oh goodness. That beginning edge hit changed everything.
Ordeal - Sexy new tweak that destroys the sign hit.
Survival of the Fittest - Narcissistic, but come on.
Acrobat - SIGN HIIIIIT!!!!11
Battlements - FINALLY someone performs the log launch (and who other than Regislian).
Three Fold Maze - Fantastic new path. My favorite part was the ending.
Three Fold Race - Another really really nice path, and arguably better than Three Fold Maze's.
King of the Mountain (Without Screenshot Glitch) - What the hell. What the literal hell. What the hell was that,

Amazing job to you all. MBU is truly a historic mod and you guys gave it a long-deserved historic treatment.
I was continually impressed with the perfection that matched up MBG level for level. Many tweaks absolutely threw my mind out of bounds. Rigel "TheBestMBU" proved his name, Regi followed up a dominant BWRR with a performance that put any doubts of his godlike veteran chops to rest, Kalle is up to business as usual, hPerks checked in for one run of utter slickness, and Rosie and NF made some big-time debuts in the speedrunning book -- no doubt preparation for more amazing things to come.

Here's to the latest chapter of World Record history! Looking forward to working on MBP!

I watched it yesterday, and the variety of runs and tweaks was truly and epicly sick.

I also noticed Rozi took 40%+ of the whole rampage, which means he has a lot improved over the past years, and is still improving. Hats down to him.

And Kalle and his alien paths still destroy minds, whereas Regislian and his UFO tweaks burns them to the ground.

About NatureFreak? Well, due to the number of videos of his crazy skill I saw a few months ago and his general ranking growing exponentially, I totally believed he was going to be featured into a World Record Rampage.

Like I said in the comments, that was 20 minutes of pure marbling epicness. Great job to everyone!

Spoiler alert, I hate to say that there's will almost certainly not be a blooper reel uploaded to Matan's channel simply because almost no one had bloopers to share. I personally had 8 clips, and I think Regi spoke of having a couple files of his own. I've thought about compiling my failed runs (and Regi's, if he'll let me/send them to me) into a compilation and then uploading it to my channel. I suppose we could have a blooper reel up on Matan's channel, but we'll need more content. Maybe some of you could go screw around in MBU and "make mistakes"? :^)
