Blue Moon put everything into their opening but fell victim to overconfidence, leading to grasshopper taking the win. A tragedy for fans of blue moon, hoping to see them gain their first win, but as a hopper fan, I’m very happy.
Great to see those B league marbles getting a good slice of the action, too. It's a great track with interesting obstacles, especially the catch basin and the zig zag walls section.
LETS GO!!!! Love seeing Blue Moon have such a strong start. Been a fan of them since they first showed up and finallly seeing them get out of B-League is such a blast.
I am so thankful for these races and events and different leagues of marble races. I sincerely hope that they never stop and year after year i can keep cheering on my favorite racers and teams with my wife until the day i die:-) these races and leagues have actually brought my wife and i much closer together in love and time spent together. Thank you Jelle and everyone else who helps put these shows on. You really have created something very special. I love you guys. And to Greg Woods, there is never going to be another announcer that i will ever accept as the marble race announcer:-)
I loved all the fun landmarks along the track! They give the route life and more interesting than just beige roads. I like all the different bridges and tunnels you did too!
Every marble bringing their A-Game by actually finishing their race! Great for Blue Moon to have a podium finish in the A-League while Green Turtle gets a W in the B-League!
As a Comet fan, I didn't watch last season after the DNQ, and WOW I was shocked to look back at last season's points and find out that RN3 finished dead last.
This was a really exciting race! Lots of interestng elements to the track, especally the multiple splits! I was thinking that one element that would be cool would be a buried funnel leading to a pipe. It would really throw a wrench into the order hahahaha.
As a long time Grasshopper Fan I was there during the dark ages where we didn’t qualify for what felt like many many dark years. I was forced to watch my beloved grasshopper fail at the last moment in some easy groups never seeing a gold. I am proud to say that this season is Grasshoppers season!
It's awesome to have the Marble Rally back! I do want to ask, though; will there be music like the previous seasons at any point? It really adds to the races!
They have a lot of races to do this year. The music will come. Crowd noise is an okay substitute. This race needed to drop today because of Formula 1 tomorrow.
This segment is brought you part by: "Mean Green Marble" and "Azure Alliance". ... ... ... ... ... ... Great wins for Green Turtle and Grasshopper in the first race of their respective leagues.
I don't know how I never really took notice before of the sounds of the marbles making contact with each other. Nice effect, especially when combined with that catch basin, made for a rain sounding effect.
After B01 watch: Wow, green turtle and cool moody dominated that race! Good job green turtle! PLEASE QUALIFY FOR 2025 PLEASE I will edit this when I am finished watching the main race After A01: BLUE MOON AND GRASSHOPPER WHAT?! That’s a surprise. Also another great starting position for CCE. Jelle, are you not doing music anymore? I thought I heard Klimduin but maybe my ears are playing tricks. Is this all about Minos retiring?
@@insanerocks120 excuse me for having a life outside of constantly reading updates. I didn't realize being a casual viewer was now something to detest, jagoff.
Green Turtle should change his name back to Super Turtle so he can probably qualify for the next season. It’s hard to be a fan of him! But ecstatic to see him win his first ever race!!
You need to put some smooth walls up in the starting block so the marbles on the sides don’t have such a disadvantage getting shoved into the sand wall right away.
Poor ghost marble 👻 I think that any marble that finishes after ghost marble should either lose one point or get one second added to their finishing time. If not it’s cool 😎
Ok, physics and probability question: assume the marbles are of equal size, weight, and composition...aside from collisions, what accounts for faster vs. slower finishes?
I agree with that. I think for 20 competitors, a more suitable scoring system could have been - 1st = 25 pts 2nd = 22 pts 3rd = 20 pts 4th = 18 pts 5th = 16 pts 6th = 15 pts And then from there, 1 point separating every position down to 20th = 1pt.
@@insanerocks120 Oh right, I didn't realise that. Thanks! Although I'd prefer a greater reward between 15th & 20th, I guess one thing this chosen scoring system does is make it more rewarding to simply finish a course, with quite a lot of non-finishers in previous races.

Spoilers I think this is a Grasshopper and Lollipop season, last year's final race, qualifiers, and this race have convinced me that they are in their prime.
I didn't think there was a B League, in qualifiers i picked one from each round to back in order or preference Blizzard Blaster, Nemo, Green Turtle and Black Knight. So i guess i'm not doing too badly with Green Turtle and Black Knight still alive in the B League. And i have people in both divisions to cheer for so that's nice :) .
The B league is an excellent use of all these extra marbles that didn't make the A league. Now every fan gets to watch their favorites all season.
Nah, grind up the losers into glitter!
I don’t care that I haven’t watched the other seasons I’m watching this one
We don't care
you should totally binge the other seasons
You're missing out big time! You should binge them during the week to catch up on the lore 🤌🏻
Whether you’ve been a fan of the Marble Rally for a few years, or a few days…welcome friend!
Hope you enjoy the SMR!
Same
We had our fist DNF of the season and it wasn’t a competitor.
Pour one out for them ... i hope they can shake it off and get ready for the next race
The ghost marble did their job, all the competitors got to the bottom without too much trouble. But yes, do pour one out for them.
Sounds like an unbroken streak of at least one DNF in SMR race 1 then?
@@Stratelier Yes.
I realized that the Ghost Marble is ruled to have crashed out before they even go off the track.
Blue Moon put everything into their opening but fell victim to overconfidence, leading to grasshopper taking the win. A tragedy for fans of blue moon, hoping to see them gain their first win, but as a hopper fan, I’m very happy.
Red #3 had a slow start but they finished so they’re doing better than the start of their 2018 season
terrible start. got hit into the wall .
Team RN3 4L!
Great to see those B league marbles getting a good slice of the action, too.
It's a great track with interesting obstacles, especially the catch basin and the zig zag walls section.

Rough start for RN3 but a decent job by Crazy Cat’s Eye. I’ll take it
SMR is what originally got me in to watching this channel. Good to see it's back for another season. Let's go, #H2Blue and #GhostPlasma !
I loved all the fun landmarks along the track! They give the route life and more interesting than just beige roads. I like all the different bridges and tunnels you did too!
These were definitely the best tracks you guys have made so far. Keep up the fenominal work guys 👍🏻
Every marble bringing their A-Game by actually finishing their race!
Great for Blue Moon to have a podium finish in the A-League while Green Turtle gets a W in the B-League!
Red Number Three is MY BOY!
Something something
Turtle 🐢 🐢 😂❤
Red Number 3 is literally just Kyle Busch in the Marble world. 2 time champ that has regressed severely in the past couple of seasons.
As a Comet fan, I didn't watch last season after the DNQ, and WOW I was shocked to look back at last season's points and find out that RN3 finished dead last.

Wow this is exciting. My favorite SMR is back and you even brought back the 2nd league. Fantastic and can't wait for more !!!
What a season opener ❤❤❤
Green Turtle's great performance in the first race makes a lot of sense. Turtles lay their eggs in wet sand after all...
Go Pollo Loco & Red Number 3
Another season of Marble Rally kicks off, love the idea of an A and B Leagues.
I love the sound of the marbles clinking against each other
Go Grasshopper! That was a brilliant overtake!
First Rounds were great!
Loving the Marble Rally, and glad to see my team finish, even if it wasn't in first place.
As a long time Grasshopper Fan I was there during the dark ages where we didn’t qualify for what felt like many many dark years. I was forced to watch my beloved grasshopper fail at the last moment in some easy groups never seeing a gold. I am proud to say that this season is Grasshoppers season!
Sand Rally is back I missed the series happy to see it back
Good start Superball! Elbowing and edging out marbles out of the pack has always been your strength. That and consistency.
Onwards to the next race!
Amazing race yall!! Nice to see some new faces on the podium and accomplishment today!! Blue Moon, Grasshopper🔥🔥🔥
It's awesome to have the Marble Rally back!
I do want to ask, though; will there be music like the previous seasons at any point? It really adds to the races!

anybody else saw the marble leauge current champions watching the race? 👀put a smile in my face
I saw your comment then rewatched the video but I can't seem to find them lmao
@@elyaselyas9444 they are on the stands literally at the end
@@elyaselyas9444 I don't remember them being close to the action.
Excited for the new season! Really love the improved digenetic audio. The clacks of the collection basin remind me racing is about nudging each other.
Two different tracks...not expecting that at all!
I didn't see much differences in the track.
A good line up of marbles, for the A and B league. Drain Egg and Red #3 did pretty good! Season just started, thank you Jelle's

Great wins for Green Turtle and Grasshopper in the first race of their respective leagues.
ITS BACK!!!
Good start, CCE. Just wanted to see you in the top half.
What a great day for sport. The start of the Tour de France & Season 7 of JMR. 🥳
Another marble League. Amazing
Amazing how much slower marbles have to take the course in the wet.
-SPOILERS-
GREAT START BY BLUE MOON 🌑
FIRST PODIUM EVER!
I knew you could do this! #bluemooncomeback 🤩
Grasshopper with that same premium it raced with during qualifying. Wonderful racing.
I don't know how I never really took notice before of the sounds of the marbles making contact with each other. Nice effect, especially when combined with that catch basin, made for a rain sounding effect.
I don't yet have a distinct favorite but I'm looking closely at Dragon's Egg, Superball, and Reflektor -- they all did very well
Ghost marble, you were the only marble racing today to have run the track more than once...How did you pull that off? 😂
They're used to free-up stuck marbles during the race.
awsome start for "grasshopper , keep on the hop my friend !!!! #waxonwaxoff
Decent start for Amethyst in her sophomore year
Let’s go Superball, good start
I used to watch these back in 2017 good old days.
I'm excited to see how Amethyst does this season. : )
Love the Sand Marble Rally!! - Bring back Rastafarian and Olympia!
What a surprise to see Reflektor start the season well!

Am I the only one who roots for Ghost Marble? #TEAMGHOSTMARBLE
Ghost Plasma Team forever! go go go
Despite that mistake I think blue moon is back to challenge for the title but its only the first race and anything can happen here in smr
Red this is not the start we needed
Getting hung up was enough for blue moon to miss the gold. Let’s see how the rest of this goes!
Once again the league stacks the deck against RN3. Here we go again.
You need to put some smooth walls up in the starting block so the marbles on the sides don’t have such a disadvantage getting shoved into the sand wall right away.
What a race for El Capitán, from 9th to compete for ending 2nd and finally ended 3rd after the collision with CoolMoody.
Go Superball!
Come on little grasshopper!
I wish I had y'all's weather over there, we're pushing 90ºF (heat index in the 100s) here in the States.
Poor ghost marble 👻
I think that any marble that finishes after ghost marble should either lose one point or get one second added to their finishing time. If not it’s cool 😎
Blue Moon and Grasshopper came to play. Now they just have to keep it up.
7:37 #GhostMarblesAreMarblesToo
Let's go Blue Moon!
They’re all winners.
I am so happy to see my boy red number 3 is back but looks like he's a bit rusty it has been like 3 years since the last time he appeared
Love your ball
Ok, physics and probability question: assume the marbles are of equal size, weight, and composition...aside from collisions, what accounts for faster vs. slower finishes?
Physics...
Anyone else that has the Marble League 100 starting song in their heads whenever they find there's a new Jelle's vid now? ;-)
DRA 💪🏻💪🏻
But I dont like this collector basin as it punishes the marble who gets in first... It's basically a LIFO structure lol
Rooting for Summer Sky in the B-tier teams, and Grass Hopper in the A-league! :)
Nice moves grasshopper, chose the right lines.
Ayo this is already greatness let’s see what will happen
Rooting for CCE and the GOAT R#3
I'm so glad i read someones comment about this video in the cleaning olympics video
Hoping for a Summer Sky redemption arc.
DUCK TAPE FTW
B league winner should win an automatic A league spot for next season along the top 3 Finistère. This would make B league mean more in my opinion.
the marbles on the left side , at the begining touch the border since the marble in the center are going front without obstacles
5:33 Nice move passing 5 marbles in one shot.
I think the scoring to award one point to everyone down from 15 doesn't make sense. Maybe a change is needed
I agree with that. I think for 20 competitors, a more suitable scoring system could have been -
1st = 25 pts
2nd = 22 pts
3rd = 20 pts
4th = 18 pts
5th = 16 pts
6th = 15 pts
And then from there, 1 point separating every position down to 20th = 1pt.
It’s actually reverting to the 2018 scoring.
@@insanerocks120 Oh right, I didn't realise that. Thanks!

I like this one!! I can't wait!
Spoilers!
LETS GOOOO GRASSHOPPER! Starting the season on top 🦗
In my head canon, Grasshopper is a Spiritual successor to RN3
W green turtle and cool moody
Spoilers
I think this is a Grasshopper and Lollipop season, last year's final race, qualifiers, and this race have convinced me that they are in their prime.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
YEEES! Grasshopper did it!
3rd place for El Capitan! Dragon's Egg ALMOST podiumed... right at the last second :( But I will take great first race results for my faves!
Great opening!
I didn't think there was a B League, in qualifiers i picked one from each round to back in order or preference Blizzard Blaster, Nemo, Green Turtle and Black Knight.
So i guess i'm not doing too badly with Green Turtle and Black Knight still alive in the B League. And i have people in both divisions to cheer for so that's nice :) .
