Gravity Swap: Marble Blast Gold (1. Beginner Levels):
My Gravity Swap: MBG compilation is finally here. This will have 4 parts: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Bloopers and Extras.
Some runs do beat the standard World Record time, a healthy speed increase, but some consists extras tricks. You also get to see new paths, including improved runs from the trailer.
Comments:
Learning to Roll: I was astonished that a rebound after returning to normal gravity is a lot faster (because the leap is more linear).
Learn the Super Speed: At first, I was debating on whether to include this or not (Monster Speedway and others since they're gravity-independent). I found that I can do a big rebound after the start and control the gravity to get to the finish pad. I'm also not sure if a big start pad trick would go sub-2.77.
Elevator: I need the extra height to be able to get to the finish since I'm not released by the start pad yet.
Air Movement: I slower the fall by pressing the Up key; that way I can get to the finish very easily.
Gyrocopter, Time Trial: A lot of height + big hit on start pad = faster times
There and Back Again: What you can do is do a large start-pad hit to gain more speed and/or incase you fall off the edge, switch and switch back again to return to the platform.
Marble Materials Lab: I gain momentum after I switch and switch back the gravity before the first gem.
Breezeway: I can't do a big start pad trick since the IBT is lower.
Pitfalls: I redid this run to get lower height.
Grand Finale: A totally new path that gets me 33 seconds or lower.

Q&A regarding Gravity Swap: Marble Blast Gold
Q: Why did you make this to begin with?
A: I can show off new paths and show that this can reduce your times easier. It's also the best way to create new paths.
Q: Are there any other codes beside this shown?
A: Indeed, there are.
Code 1: a.k.a. Helicopter Control (shown primarily here): controls the gravity with Up: -20 and Down: 20.
Code 2: a.k.a. Factor: Press the Up key every time, to increase the gravity by -20. Down key by 20.
Code 3: a.k.a. Flipper: Use the powerup button to flip gravity.
Q: Does this work on .rec?
A: No, it does not. You have to use a lag-free screen recorder.
Q: Are you going to make this compilation on other mods?
A: I'm planning a Gravity Swap compilation on Marble Blast Platinum Levels (Beginner-Advanced), which won't be released until December 2012 at the earliest.
Q: Will there be a second compilation of GS: MBG?
A: What's more likely is more videos with incremental improvements.
