And the ending commentary on Starfish: "May be able to grown an extra arm or entirely new body, but unable to grow some new momentum." Damn dude I felt that burn.
Seal had an amazing race. He so consistently held onto that 2nd spot even as the 1st place constantly switched hands. Then he gets stuck, but after being dislodged he manages to crawl back into 2nd place... only to make his move at the very last leg of the race. And win. What a performance!
Me at the beginning of the movie: "Should I pick Dragonfly or Octopus? Ah, Octopus it is!" * Octopus proceeds to disappear from the screen for the entire race * Me: "Oh... Well, let's hope there's a re-run in the future!"
Mine was Moonfish, thinking the blue color may be an asset... Like yours, it was absent form the screen during most of the race, and end up on 9th position. Oh, well...
I don't know if it's the commentary...or what....but these marble races are so satisfying to watch. Find myself rooting for marbles..."Oh that was a close one", and other things go through my mind. Good job!
Yeah, at the beginning I was like, "I'll pick the red one, sure" then "Oop, nvrmnd that one's out of this race" THEN "holy crap! GO GO GO!!!!" what an emotional rollercoaster!
Key moments in the race: 0:26 - And they're off! After a chaotic start, Seal takes the lead position of the pack, closely followed by Spider and Ladybug. Everybody is close behind, vying for the best position. 0:45- the curving: the first curving part of the circuit: Seal and Ladybug fight for the first place while negotiating with difficulties the curves and counter curves of this part of the race. 1:23: Dragonfly takes the lead! While everybody else uses the safe but slow road, the red marble takes a chance at the riskier top road, and gets a just reward: Dragonfly will take the lead for a big part of the race. 1:49: Dragonfly is still on the lead, now being challenged by moonfish, seal and ladybug. The gaps between the marbles are quickly getting wider, while they must negotiate between alternative paths... But SEAL GETS STUCK! Is it the end of the race for this marble? No! Someone nudges him just enough to dislodge the marble. 2:05: Dragonfly takes advantage of the long straights to increase its advantage! Ladybug and Seal (what a great performance from this) fight to keep close. 2:35: two unlucky crosses over slow parts of the circuit have made Dragonfly's lead come down to simple marble lengths! Now Seal is in a position to overtake him! 2:48: change of Leader! Seal is now in first, and Ladybug and Turtle close in on the second-position Dragonfly! 3:00: Careful on negotiating these curves and counter-curves: all marbles distinctively slow down and keep their relative positions. It would be a shame to lose now, so close to the end! 3:11: Final stretch: Ladybug makes a move and achieves second place. Seal is still leading! Dragonfly seems to have depleted its reserve and is unable to recover. Behind him, Turtle keeps close! 3:20: end of the Race: Seal crosses first. Then Ladybug, in second. And Dragon fly can just barely make it third place, in front of Turtle, who saved his last energy for a final push, ending in fourth place 3:25: more marbles cross the line: it is a testament to the quality of the four first places that the 5th marble crosses the line over two to ten second later! And poor starfish could not untangle from where it got stuck, finishing with a unhappy DNF! Greetings, all. Hope you enjoyed the commentary!
I was so excited for a bit there, also cheering for Moonfish. A disappointing placement in the end, but let's hope there's another in the future for redemption. Moonfish has shown the power and ability -- next time gotta just not get stuck!
I thought the same thing! Maybe Dragonfly got some coaching from RN3 to prepare for the race? But if so, he forgot his lessons and let it slip away. What a fun race format!!
Went with Dragonfly and was amazed to see it pick up momentum. Nice race! Can't wait to see the Hornets in action. Your videos are a highlight of my day!
Been watching these for a few months when recommended, It’s the marbles that bring me here but it’s the courses, the thought, and mainly the Grade A commentary. I am sorry to deny you a sub for so long, I am subscribed sir, keep em coming, we appreciate your hard work. Question it, but appreciate it nonetheless. ;)
I was rooting for Octopus who I never saw in the top 5 and Seahorse who just managed to get in there. Nice lunge by Dragonfly and close 3rd place finish though!
No, all marbles are little treasures, regardless of their performance. Don't hurt their feelings! Also, Turtle did great. There is no shame in losing against the Kame Sennin.
This was exciting Randomly decided Seal because I like the pokemon and holy heck this was nerve wracking when seal got stuck but came back for the win. These are the marble races I live for, the close ones are much more exciting I feel
Huh... watching this gives me an idea. How about you guys start a Sudo marble league with teams based on animals? The only real complication I can see is that teams like the Hornets and the Bumblebees do exist in the marble (good luck to both of them in qualifying for the Marble league this year) but I think something like that with track layouts more based in forests and maybe overs rivers could be a cool idea. Bunch of immediate names already spring to mind: The Insectoids/The Swarm The Moonlit Eyes (Nocturnal creatures) The Predators The Pride (Mostly Lions but could be cool) The Darkest Depths (Fish and other animals living in the darkest parts of the ocean) etc Just some basic ideas. Anyway, love the video man. Looking forward to Marbula one!
I watched some cute seal videos earlier this day, so I chose seal in this race. Good start, then was overtook by some marbles before fought back for the lead. Almost went out of race but thankfully it could continue. Finally pushed very hard to overtake speedy dragonfly and maintained the lead until the finish line. Never felt this good.
"I know they can normally fly, but you don't want to do that in marble form."
This is why I love Greg Wood's commentary. 10/10
Also, #TeamLadybug
And the ending commentary on Starfish: "May be able to grown an extra arm or entirely new body, but unable to grow some new momentum." Damn dude I felt that burn.
A TØP fan who also watches marbles racing? Hell yeah.
I'm listening to Trench on my CD player and I saw this on the video I'm watching.
Greg sure says the darndest things! 🤣
@@Jaydoggy531 R.I.P. 😔
Nice to have these small races as we wait for the 2020 games
LET’S GO, TEAM GALACTIC!!!
#ReachForTheStars #TeamGalactic
Also an invested fan of this team. Has few supporters, though.
#RollingThunder
Galactic and Hazers for me. :3
#ReachForTheStars 🪐
It's the commentary that makes this the best.
"Starfish maybe able to grow a new arm or body, but not new momentum..." what a diss 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, everyone involved in this channel is a gem.
Woohoo Seal! My marble from the start.
Not going to lie, I wasn't emotionally prepared for the journey that I went on while cheering for that marble
what a rollecoaster of emotions!
Seal had an amazing race. He so consistently held onto that 2nd spot even as the 1st place constantly switched hands. Then he gets stuck, but after being dislodged he manages to crawl back into 2nd place... only to make his move at the very last leg of the race. And win. What a performance!
Neither was I. (Except I was cheering on Dragonfly)
@@anephone6120 omg my heart just sunk!
I went with my gut and chose seal. Like a kiss from a rose, I feel like a winner ❤ This is why you never change teams!
That was such a marbelous race.
U r the best youtuber ever
Me at the beginning of the movie: "Should I pick Dragonfly or Octopus? Ah, Octopus it is!"
* Octopus proceeds to disappear from the screen for the entire race *
Me: "Oh... Well, let's hope there's a re-run in the future!"
I picked bee!
Well at least your contestant got to finish the race. I should have known better to trust a *yellow* starfish.
That was me with Octopus and Seal
Big oof
I just picked both because I thought they'd be the easiest to pick out on screen
Mine was Moonfish, thinking the blue color may be an asset... Like yours, it was absent form the screen during most of the race, and end up on 9th position. Oh, well...
I don't know if it's the commentary...or what....but these marble races are so satisfying to watch. Find myself rooting for marbles..."Oh that was a close one", and other things go through my mind.
Good job!
"I don't think ladybugs are the normal diet for seals but I didn't check up on what breed this seal is"
if it's eating ladybugs probably a door seal
Damn this is underrated
Though I think I would have gone with window sill (but maybe that’s too much of a stretch)
"Dragonfly in first but wait! Here comes seal"
Me: nnnNNOOOOOooo!
Eveytime i see a notification from your channel, it instantly puts a smile on my face....one of the best channels on youtube..keep up...!
I chose Seal from the start and I am super glad it made it as the first!!! 🔥
Spoilers~~~~~Spoilers~~~~•
What a comeback by Dragon Fly, that was a great race.
Was rooting for his at the beginning. That comeback was amazing! Out of nowhere lol
Yeah, at the beginning I was like, "I'll pick the red one, sure" then "Oop, nvrmnd that one's out of this race" THEN "holy crap! GO GO GO!!!!" what an emotional rollercoaster!
Thank you for this race, while we wait for marbula! I love you guys
You're welcome!
When your'e creative, all you need is dirt and marbles to make something amazing.
That was awesome!
And turtle almost made it to the podium. But 4th is still somethung to be proud of.
The desperate last-minute charge down the finishing straight, every racer's been there. Even if only on a SNES.
Seal: *gets stuck*
Ladybug: *rescues him*
*MIRACULOUS*
That's why i love ladybug. A class act. XD
Candy Meow nice reference to the cartoon “Miraculous ladybug “!
The commentary sells the hell out it! Cant wait for the next marble Olympics

Greetings, all. Hope you enjoyed the commentary!
WE WERE SO CLOSE but you did good dragonfly
GO SEAL!!!!
Nothing feels better than being loyal to your champion and have them come out on top. You will always be my favorite Seal!
I love the googly eyes on the octopus😂
Unfortunately I don’t think he could see too well so he ended up in 6th :/
A new, unscheduled SMR?! What an unexpected (and infinitely welcome) surprise!
I love marbles and I love racing. This is the perfect channel
Dragonfly just might be a fan of RN3 or at least has the same trainer. That block at the end though was incredible. Lol.
Great race! Picked Seahorse, but was too late a bloomer.
And fitting end for a Starfish.
These marbles should compete in their own tournament!
3:29 “Ever-deliberative Octopus”😂🤣😂
Greg Woods Animal Facts
So noones gonna talk about ladybug staying around the top since the start! Oh btw routed for ladybug since the start, good to see a 2nd place!!
I was so sad that Seal was falling behind... but what a comeback !
The public needs more animal marble races!!! This race has been exciting !!
Honestly, this was a super impressive showing from an amateur race on a very technically difficult track. Kudos to all the competitors!
i chosen starfish
literally didn't finish the race and got stuck
You're not the only one, mate.
I feel you. This is atrocious. At least they all had fun.
hahaha i picked starfish and bee, what luck
Same 😭
I chose bee. Didn't get to see it at all except at the very beginning and very end when it came in a full 10 seconds behind the leader.
Awww man, it's so great when the marble you pick wins! Lots of changing hands, really exciting race!
My god...
He may not have won, but Dragonfly going from last out the gate to first, then sticking in the Top 3 is the sort of content we needed.
I was rooting for Moonfish and-
got happy when he got to 1st place. Too bad it didn't last long...
moonfish just went all the way back, at least they didn't get stuck
I was so excited for a bit there, also cheering for Moonfish. A disappointing placement in the end, but let's hope there's another in the future for redemption. Moonfish has shown the power and ability -- next time gotta just not get stuck!
MOONFISHH NOOOOO
For a minute there I thought RN3 was moonlighting as Dragonfly
After 1:54 I had to check the names one more time cuz that was a move from RN3’s book
It's just RN3 with a mask on
I thought the same thing! Maybe Dragonfly got some coaching from RN3 to prepare for the race? But if so, he forgot his lessons and let it slip away. What a fun race format!!
I can only wonder how Dragonfly, Blood Moon (Halloween race), and Ouroboros (Flower race) do just as well as Red Number 3...
Nah. RN3 doesn't almost get stuck twice in a race like Dragonfly did.
I love the commentary on these videos 😂 they're so sarcastic and i can't get enough of it! Can't wait for race 2 in the M1!
Why is this enjoyable? You call the races like a pro, great job.
Went with Dragonfly and was amazed to see it pick up momentum. Nice race! Can't wait to see the Hornets in action. Your videos are a highlight of my day!
Holy cow what an emotional roller coaster!
I thought seal was dead in the water when he got stuck, what a comeback!
Dragonfly in early sector 2: "I'm gonna pull what's called a pro gamer nove"
Loved the commentary on this one.
Ain't that amazing when you choose a marble and wins... GO SEAL !!! Instant fan. :)
Man the red marbles are always good at making a comeback. Go Dragonfly!!
Evolution, the process over time of becoming smaller, rounder and more marbled.
Isn't nature beautiful(ly bonkers)?
Yeah Seal!!!! What a come back! I was way more in to that race than I care to admit..
Been watching these for a few months when recommended, It’s the marbles that bring me here but it’s the courses, the thought, and mainly the Grade A commentary. I am sorry to deny you a sub for so long, I am subscribed sir, keep em coming, we appreciate your hard work. Question it, but appreciate it nonetheless. ;)
Excellent race. That was a nice little warmer upper before MARBULA ONE. I really can't wait.
Go Hazers.
Every time I watch these videos I am surprised by how pumped I get for these marbles...
Great race from everyone; but also, great track design! Kudos to the team for the track.
Maybe a Wacky Races-inspired course one day. Not for the serious marbles, but these amateur races.
That's a heck of a brilliant idea! 👍
One never knows who can pop out of the Junior Circuit and qualify to race with the Big Boys!
I’d love that!
GREAT idea!
I Can't Wait For Marbula 1! SOOOOOO excited!
I love animals, so I enjoyed this race a lot. 👍
The Animal team needs to be in next Marblelympics !!
Even when things do go back to normal, I'll still watch this!
Seal is a total champion, but Dragonfly and ladybug are great contenders, chapeau
WHAT A GREAT COMEBACK BY DRAGONFLY!
From last to First then to Third!
#AyeAyeDragonFly
If you have done any gardening, you love the adorable lil ladybugs.
Before I watch I’m picking the octopus. I’m liking this already!
I was rooting for Octopus who I never saw in the top 5 and Seahorse who just managed to get in there. Nice lunge by Dragonfly and close 3rd place finish though!
That music was TENSE and the race was epic
INCREDIBLE! I was on the edge of my seat!
I'm loving the little animal facts and comments!
Dragonfly may have gotten 3rd, but coming from dead last after a poor start - that's quite a showing!
I picked Seal, I KNEW IT THAT'S MY MARBLE! I was so invested in this race, phew! 🎱
Dragonfly was channeling his inner RN3 for a little bit there.
Impressive showing from Dragonfly, definitely made me a fan here. The commentary was the real star of the show though, hilarious narration.
In the Sand Rally's, I prefer the slightly broader path circuits. Those allow for a bit more overtaking between positions.
This race : everyone took the slow road
Dragonfly : I'm fast as fuck booiiii
Ladybug played dragonfly dirty in the last eighth of the race. ❤️🐞.
Glad to see my marble seal the deal. That was a roller coaster to cheer for though
Sand Marble Rally races are the best!
New 2020 team: Team Flare; Pyro, Ash, Lava, Volcano, Torch(R), and Smoke(C).
I'm sorry, but team submission will not be accepted at this moment
Seal came thru clutch! What a race!
I hope this becomes a new series 🙈 i know every race has to be a ton of work but my whole house now has favorites.. this was intsnse and we loved it
F for all those marbles who got beaten by a turtle
F
No, all marbles are little treasures, regardless of their performance. Don't hurt their feelings!
Also, Turtle did great. There is no shame in losing against the Kame Sennin.
I was excited to see all the insect marbles!
That was so much more exiting than it had any right to be.
This was exciting
Randomly decided Seal because I like the pokemon and holy heck this was nerve wracking when seal got stuck but came back for the win. These are the marble races I live for, the close ones are much more exciting I feel
I wonder if Greg ever found that species ladybug eating seals
My God that was a close finish!
Huh... watching this gives me an idea. How about you guys start a Sudo marble league with teams based on animals? The only real complication I can see is that teams like the Hornets and the Bumblebees do exist in the marble (good luck to both of them in qualifying for the Marble league this year) but I think something like that with track layouts more based in forests and maybe overs rivers could be a cool idea. Bunch of immediate names already spring to mind:
The Insectoids/The Swarm
The Moonlit Eyes (Nocturnal creatures)
The Predators
The Pride (Mostly Lions but could be cool)
The Darkest Depths (Fish and other animals living in the darkest parts of the ocean)
etc
Just some basic ideas. Anyway, love the video man. Looking forward to Marbula one!
I like that idea!
Yes! Always had faith on Turtle!
Go octopus!
So close yet so far. Great video, keep it up!
This was a good GROOOWLBLE race....
I had Dragonfly from the beginning, and after that start, I thought it was sunk. Great choice taking that top line, Dragonfly!
This is my new favorite race
Ladybug with those blocking skills daaaamnnn
Excellent race by Seal.
My choices came third and fifth, and wow what a race that was!
I loved the performance from seal.
mann..ladybug sure regrets freeing the lodged seal ...
Thought to follow Dragonfly, because the red is easy to follow. It was an... interesting choice :D
I've watched a bunch of races and this is the first I actually picked the winner
I love the designs!
Guess we can say the results were SEALed. Yeah, I know the way out.
My heart almost stopped when Turtle almost catched up to my fav Dragonfly.
LOL 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I watched some cute seal videos earlier this day, so I chose seal in this race.
Good start, then was overtook by some marbles before fought back for the lead. Almost went out of race but thankfully it could continue. Finally pushed very hard to overtake speedy dragonfly and maintained the lead until the finish line. Never felt this good.
