Seemingly in the blink of an eye, 2026 is halfway through! While this year’s Summer Premier continues to be the most active scene in the community for the meantime, June was otherwise a pretty routine month.
Stay cool, everyone. It’s been getting brutally hot out there.
Customs Roll Call
August and HappyTreeX1 take half of the Customs Roll Call lineup for June, as well as Booster’s appearance marking the second month in a row with a debutant! With the whole series now half over: HappyTreeX1 has featured on the most levels with 18, with August right behind him with 17. Powerjohn25 claims third on the friendly competition of series appearances with 10.
If you still happen to be unfamiliar with this event, Customs Roll Call is a year-long speedrunning event where twelve levels are announced at the beginning of every month. Players spend the month grinding for the best times, which are then compiled into a video released with the next group of levels.
Here is the video for June! July's levels are found at the end of the post.
Custom Levels
Most notably, during June, Ned returned in a flurry since releasing “Storm’s Eye” and “Gateway to Haven” way back in March 2020, publishing ten levels (including an update to “Scarlet Fever”) over the month! As for other standouts
- “Crenellation” (HappyTreeX1)
- "Between Waterfalls" (Ned)
- "Warming Up" (All4Vols98)
- "Rings for A Twist" (Zuma Chanel)
- "Blue, Orange, Green, Pink!" (plazma)
- “Jadonghwa Jungle” (SummerArmy)
Speedrunning
June continues an increasing revitalization of world records, particularly a lot of very exciting second landmarks broken on several levels, such as “Slip Up” and “Mini Marble Golf - DC” from Marble Blast Platinum and “Training Wheels” from PlatinumQuest. berserk’s new record on “Mountaintop Retreat” (Platinum, again) beats Cobalt’s time from all the way back in April 2020. One record not listed below is Xedron’s 43.861 on “Parallel World 2”, a nearly two-second improvement over Eguy’s time from July 2018(!!!), achieved three days shy of a full eight years later, back when the pack was still called “Custom Packs 30-39”.

Multiplayer
The 2026 Summer Premier is underway! 71 matches have been played over the course of the past three weeks.
In the Contender Division, Frostfire takes the top spot as the player currently with the most wins, having lost (or even conceded any games) only to ShadowVisions, who remains the sole undefeated player, although having played fewer matches than anyone else.
In the Challenger Division, Mystrox boasts six wins without a lost, most recently having beaten Endy who is right on his tail in the second spot. DKman00 shares Endy's record, but sits in third with one fewer win; he was swept 3-0 by Mystrox, while Endy was able to take a game himself.
In the Open Division—the only division where matchups are on a week-to-week basis rather than freely scheduling matches against all other opponents—A-Game and Keigo are the only two with perfect 3-0 records, however A-Game gets the top spot for not having lost any games, while Keigo conceded a game to plazma on Spires by one point.
One of the highlights of this year’s new format is the closer level of competition—an unprecedented 16 matches have gone to a fifth game, and we’ve been immensely fortunate to even see a sixth game with Wilchz vs. Jacob, decided by a three-point margin. There are still dozens of matches to be played; the playoffs haven’t even started yet!
July Preview
That wraps up June!
Well, the tournament is truly running wild, and it’s only full steam ahead until it comes to a close at the end of August (if all scheduling goes according to plan)—July will feature the rest of the Regular Season and the entire first round of the playoffs. Be sure not to miss any of the action!
Additionally, PlatinumQuest celebrates its ninth anniversary on the 6th, and Yoshicraft224 will be hosting the routine Anniversary Event during the second weekend of July: the traditional co-op run on Saturday the 11th, and the RTA race on Sunday the 12th.
