[ UPDATE ] On October 10, 2021, a quick-fix for the STOP II 1.4u1 Windows Installer was released, along with a save-transport tool to new versions.
Watch the trailer! Marble Blast STOP II 1.4u0 - Trailer

HOW TO TRANSPORT SAVE DATA FROM 1.4u0:
1. A tool will be coming in a couple hours that'll let you do this.
2. OR you can go into STOP II 1.4u0/marble/client and merge all contents that are not a folder from 1.4u0 to STOP II 1.4u1/marble/client. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR YOUR GAME WILL BREAK & YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE ALL STOP II CONTENTS, REINSTALL, AND SUBMIT A SAVE DATA RECOVERY TICKET TO TEKANNABRAND!!!

Release areas: This thread / STOP II Discord / YouTube Video Trailer. We're now working hard (as of today) to get it on more places, and to get it updated here better than ever before.

This is an update this community has been waiting for, and I know this because the old physics have returned as an optional selection and stages are now easier to unlock than ever before. This new update to Marble Blast STOP II is the last update for stage changes, we will not be changing them any more. We have hit Update 1.4u1 and we’re excited to release this update - arguably by testers in and outside Marble Blast, the next best update to ever hit this modification. In terms of major changes and updates, this update includes stage changes, a reintroduction of the old physics, the retirement of Tawny and Nockess (two of our former stage builders and idea incorporators), and more.

Welcome to Marble Blast STOP II (Version 1.4u1)! As the leader of the STOP II Team, we've spent countless hours, some without sleep, developing the final major release of Marble Blast STOP II, which is arguably the best version of this modification. Filled with new features, updated graphics, fixed engine plugins and exclusive physics (by choice), this modification is sure to leave you feeling nostalgic, skilled, and determined. Are you ready to help Captain S. Marble recover his lost Teapots, and can you help him and his friends return to Palladium Village?

STORY: Captain S. (Stop) Marble was spending time in Palladium Village, Marble Planet one day. All of a sudden, our Captain lost his entire Teapot collection to an unseen, evil force. Some speculate it's Marblaxia, some speculate it's CyberFox, and some speculate it's a cosmic, evil version of clockwork himself. As he's trapped and launched into thin air with many other citizens and his friends, he must recover all of his lost Teapots and rescue citizens and friends to make it back home safely. Can you help Captain S. Marble complete every challenge and collect every missing Teapot in order to help him open a portal back to his home in Palladium Village? Get from a GO Pad, collecting every lost Teapot along the way hitting YieldPoints and stopping Captain S. Marble on the STOP Pad to unlock brand new areas. Are you ready for the grand Marble Blast tale of a lifetime?

We hope you enjoy your time playing this new update and I am personally super happy you have chosen to stick alongside our journey for a very long time. In the last few months, our modification hit a total of 700 downloads, and we're always looking for more people to try this out. Thanks for all the support. In the future, we’re hoping to turn our server into a Discord server specifically for a new hub for a "Marble Blast modification zone" where staff can help point people if they want to learn how to modify a Marble Blast game properly, create and help with other mods, and give friendly and constructive support to folks along the way seeking to create their own modifications and stages for this wonderful franchise, a gem of the indie gaming world.

Happy marbling!

I forgot to mention: 1.4u1 has a teaser that was released before the update a few hours ago! Just a little showcase of new stages and a little message for this community that should help you feel more at home while playing this game.
