On February 2nd, 2024, marbleblast.com suffered an unfortunate outage which required a substantial effort to recover. We are happy to say that it is live once again! Here is a changelog of what is different about the website:
- Upgraded infrastructure
- New UI theme
- Better mobile support
- Changes to top bar menu
- New Hunt column on the PQ leaderboard
Some systems had plugins that were too old to be updated, and so they had to be deprecated. These include:
- Ticketing system
- Forum private messages
The new website is also accompanied by a new update to PlatinumQuest, which will be needed to go online. Go check it out! Note, there is an updated version of Path o' Petals (Pack 8) with gameplay fixes, which unfortunately necessitates a wiping of that level's leaderboard.
We know you've been waiting long for this update and have plenty of run submissions built up. Join the Marble Blast Community Discord and you'll be able to submit your Marble Blast Gold .rec files and PlatinumQuest .rrec files in the dedicated #run-submissions channel.
The website officially went back live on April 1st, 2024. While that may sound fishy, not everything that happens on April 1st is a trick, and this is very real. Happy marbling everybody!

Did you think five rampages would be where it ends? We thought it might be, but the community always seems to change its mind. On March 22nd, 2024, Marble Blast Gold World Record Rampage #6 released, destroying all 100 levels in spectacular fashion. The best of the best employ new strategies and godlike optimization to get a full 100/100 levels improved over WRR5, saving over 30 seconds total. This rampage is the first rampage to use the moderator-approved MBG Speedrun Mod by DomTurchi, adding plenty of quality of life features to the game, including a third decimal and time travel time seen in the videos. As the tradition goes, grab some popcorn and your favorite drink, and enjoy!

A lot has happened in the last 5 years. However, through all the events and drama runners were working tirelessly on Marble Blast Platinum. Grinding every level to squeeze out every second of improvement they could manage. Many records in the last rampage were extremely tough to beat, they did a fantastic job all those years ago. But alas, speedrunners have become much better, and are more dedicated grinders. As of today, all but one record has fallen (you know the one), which resulted in 146/147 levels improved and over four minutes of total time saved over the last rampage. I'm pleased to announce that the fourth Marble Blast Platinum World Record Rampage is now available! Beginner today, Intermediate tomorrow, so on until Director's Cut is released on Monday. I hope you're as excited to see it as I was watching it all come together. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/uD_LsxM_E-g?si=wQ58b9FYdioNr-y6
