Fixed that. I did a 100 Levels speedrun in 42:50 on the original (vanilla) Marble Blast Gold.
I vote for original (vanilla), the extra menuing isn't that bad at all, since you can press Enter after each level to cancel the end screen, then left click on Play immediately after (your mouse cursor should already be on top of it).
I mean, you could post your times here, but it would be even better if you'd post your times on speedrun.com/mbg since right now, the Leaderboards look pretty empty. I also don't see any inconvenient whatsoever about making an account on that site

I recently spoke to Rigel about making a thread like this. One of the main issues with this atm is that the any% record is a SC in MBP, and beginner/intermediate are in vanilla. I propose that we have some sort of vote on what to use, because a SC is an advantage over a vanilla run.

This looks really cool!
Do I have to make an account to participate or could I simply post my times in this thread without registering on speedrun.com, just for fun?

I was pushing this already half a year ago, but my interest died out cause of the lack of competition at the time. Pretty sure there was a push for this once before aswell with Nihahhat. Might pick this back up again though, but you've set some times that will be incredibly hard to beat. Who goes for GF WR path in a RTA run 
? Might have to push for the GD trap in intermediate. Will have to practice quite a bit of Advanced to even get anywhere close to your time aswell, hopefully there will be other times to reach for in the meantime.
Also another thing I remember talking to Niha about when I was doing this is whether or not preset prefs.cs files should be allowed or not. I personally prefer it being allowed (for convenience) so we can skip the "Okay" after every level because of setting a record. My game also has a tendency to freeze if I click out of this too fast which was a real pain to deal with. But I know an argument can be made for the opposite.

Good to see you reviving this category Pascal, thought RTA was dead at one point ever since we did this in MBP.
Now all we need is someone to pull off some impossible tramplaunches and win category by huge margin
Cant offer any huge competition myself but Im still interested redoing all categories myself.

Interesting tweaks on some of the levels that I might steal from you 
- Jump pattern on Platform Party at the end
- Tri Twist wall hit on 1st floor
- The Super Jump at the end of Upward Spiral
- Jump pattern at the start of A-Maze-Ing
- Mudslide jumping over the wall
- Ordeal Super Speed to the finish
Awesome path on Marble Playground
Also, you should use the pref.cs file that Nihahhat made to avoid having to enter your name when you get a top 3 time.
When the end screen pops up after each level, just press ''Enter'' to advance, then left mouse click immediately after (the cursor is already on the ''Play'' button). Since this is Real Time, you want to limit the time spent between levels as much as possible and that method is probably the fastest.
But yeah, good job on the run
*** I'm just throwing this out there, but if you guys want, we could have a weekly SpeedRunsLive (SRL) race of MBG, during the week end or w/e. That'd be pretty cool.

Splitting on every level while playing is pretty hard yeah, unless you have a foot pedal. And I have no idea how auto-splits would work either 
. You could just use a regular timer, or split after certain levels only.
like...
Beginner Level 24 - Grand Finale
Intermediate Level 12 - Marble Playground
Intermediate Level 24 - Upward Spiral
Advanced Level 10 - Tube Treasure
Advanced Level 20 - To the Moon
Advanced Level 30 - Free Fall
Advanced Level 40 - Ordeal
Advanced Level 45 - Tightrope
Advanced Level 52 - King of the Mountain
Those splits are divided somewhat evenly.
And yup, weekly races would be great. Idk what causes lag for you when you stream. What's your upload speed, bitrate?
You could try streaming at 1200 kb/s at 30 fps, 1024x768 resolution, just a suggestion.
