I have often questioned how effective the speed boosts really are but this race truly demonstrated that they are, in fact, a significant boost and have the potential to change the results of a race. Congratulation Silver Bolt!
Congratulations to the winners! RN3 was doing good for a while, but seemed to not have endurance like the old days. I just hope he didn't get hurt on that spinner obstacle - it's a cool new part of the track! Maybe old-timer marble athletes just need a while to get used to it. Thanks for posting! 😀
Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ. RN3 "seems to not have endurance like the old days" because IT'S NOT RN3. It's a completely different marble that they're disengenuously calling RN3. If you put me in a race and call me Usain Bolt, that doesn't make me Usain Bolt!
SPOILERS: Poor Amethyst. Dropping down to 5th isn't the end of the world for her though. And that final lead change by Silver Bolt was aptly shocking. Well done!
Hey I know I'm late so spoilers are kinda my fault. But since TH-cam shows the top comment under the video before I go full screen I was spoiled of this result. Could you please put Spoiler first and then I think six line breaks to hide the spoiler in the future please.
What a photo finish! Strategy and concentration pay off in the end! Work is grinding me down these days, so I really appreciate the diversion that Team JMR provides for me (and everyone else). THANK YOU!!!
Amazing photo finish! Congrats to all the podium finishers. I’m just glad Wisp of Darkness was able to continue rolling after temporarily getting stuck!
this whole time I've been skeptical about whether those speed boosts actually did anything or not. I'm still skeptical, but this race makes a good case for them.
I love to see the hustle from duck tape. It’s hard getting out of a bottom position. Even though he didn’t reach the top 5, he kept the race from disaster through hard work and hustle. Good work DT
Such a good race by Slimer! We may have lost the lead in the final second of the race but such a fantastic performance overall! Keep up the great work!
That was not an exceptional run whatsoever. You only had some luck with trap door that gave you +1.00 sec on everyone, and still managed to lose... Silver Bolt FTW!
Wow! That was one of the best races yet! I loved the "trap door". It's ingenious! Well done guys, and congratulations to the winner. I didn't see that coming!
What an exciting race! With the DNFs, I'm getting the sense that they think they can take a shortcut by leaping over the wall - but they don't realize that there's no real path for them to get back to the track.
YES LET’S GO SILVER BOLT! Taking that speed boost just to barely take first place! First win in the Sand Rally and in first overall! So proud of you Silver Bolt ⚡️
What a race! So intense and so much happening. Love the added traps and difficulties - an really liked how there was a re-entering possibility for marbles which got out of the course. Sadly, they got off at different points than anticipated but well-thought out!
Let's go, Ducktape! Worked up from nearly last all the way up to 6th. Excellent efforts, which paid off today. Consistent results will culminate in respectable standings. #StickToIt
Another awesome race, thank you Jelle! This course was very well designed :) Slimer was SO CLOSE to the win! They still ran a great race, so a very well done to them, but they must be kicking themselves after that one. We'll get them next time!
Good job Slimer, though being passed at the finish line, your consistency through the race proved your determination and we know how hard you've been training for this. Congratulations🎉
Very entertaining and exciting! You must really have a lot of patience to build the courses. The commentaries are really realistic. Well done and I'd love to see more.
How dare you? Doubting a legend like that? RN3 is in full control, he checked the last race out from behind, this time they tried the field's ability to catch a runner...he's alright, I promise ;)
For me Cobra is the MVP for helping others coming back to the race 4 times during its career. A pity it doesn't happen everytime like here. Still rooting for the green underdog!
Wow I haven't seen number 3 place so low in awhile, amethyst needs to pick it up, had a good showing in the qualifiers and race 1 but this was a let down.
Fun Fact: That deficit ties the record for smallest margin of victory ever with the gap between Quicksilver (1st) and Nemo (2nd) in Race 5 of 2017 of one-hundredth of a second.
SPOILERS Heyyyy Pollo! That's what I like to see! Moody still not doing great but they were up there as well at a few points. It's still anyone's game.
Yaay! Can we look forward to one a week? Absolutely a wonderful must-see show, this SMR. Loving it! Laughing so hard and cheering fiercely! Toungue-in-cheek sportsfun at it's very best!
a great race for me. All my favorites excluding ghost plasma, Crazy Cats Eye, and Wisp Of Darkness finished top ten. Silver bolt, superball, and grasshopper finished top 5. Ducktape, Cool Moody, and Red Number 3 also finished in between 10 and 5. I wish they all did good.
Clean race by BBL. Had some mistakes early and in the midsection (even stopped momentarily!) but picked it up when it mattered in the final section and secured a Top 7 finish. Onto the next 💪
I have seen this before, in the practice race of Marble Rally 2019 qualifying, Summer Sky and Phoenix rode the first chevron straight across and both got past Pollo Loco because of it.
Superball with a nice overtake at the end as well. Traps are cool but if you're going to have one that favours the leader then maybe you should try to find one that slows them down as well?
I love how Greg acknowledges the hiatus directly; I missed this series for sure.
I have often questioned how effective the speed boosts really are but this race truly demonstrated that they are, in fact, a significant boost and have the potential to change the results of a race. Congratulation Silver Bolt!
Fair to say Amethyst has had the full Marble Rally experience
I guess he took down ghost plasma with him
@@Hue_Sam It looked like both racers went a little too fast approaching the wall.
in just 2 races
One of the best races in Marble Rally history. I love the addition of the traps ❤️
Totally agree, this was exhilarating!
I couldn't disagree, this was the definition of excitement.
That lead change at the end was incredible
No doubt, it was certainly exciting.
Congratulations to the winners! RN3 was doing good for a while, but seemed to not have endurance like the old days. I just hope he didn't get hurt on that spinner obstacle - it's a cool new part of the track! Maybe old-timer marble athletes just need a while to get used to it. Thanks for posting! 😀
Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ. RN3 "seems to not have endurance like the old days" because IT'S NOT RN3. It's a completely different marble that they're disengenuously calling RN3.
If you put me in a race and call me Usain Bolt, that doesn't make me Usain Bolt!
It was the surgery that killed that magic
He tried his best. But it was really that obstacle that screwed him over.
I noticed he doesn’t handle the tight turns as well as previous years. Lot of mileage on the old man!
Long story short:
RN3 was originally a keychain. Now it’s an actual glass marble due to the controversy surrounding the 750m sand race
SPOILERS:
Poor Amethyst. Dropping down to 5th isn't the end of the world for her though. And that final lead change by Silver Bolt was aptly shocking. Well done!
it’s not over yet! i think they can definitely bring it back
I genuinely reacted. A marble fell into the sand and I felt hurt for them.
Shocking having the prev leader went dnf and a tight fight between slimer and silver bolt. Def a shocker
silver bolt flew by.

I thought Slimer had it with the trap but that speedboost at the end by SB was soo good
What a photo finish! Strategy and concentration pay off in the end! Work is grinding me down these days, so I really appreciate the diversion that Team JMR provides for me (and everyone else). THANK YOU!!!
Marble racing. Not something I would have expected to like so much, but I'm sitting here at my screen yelling "go Slimer". XD
bruh same
I feel like I just lost money on a racing horse haha
Wow! Silver Bolt's clutch zoom is a more than welcome distraction from my grief that Ghost Plasma went off road. 😳
That final sprint was insane!
Amazing photo finish! Congrats to all the podium finishers. I’m just glad Wisp of Darkness was able to continue rolling after temporarily getting stuck!

Don't know if I've ever seen a speed boost make a difference. What a race!
I don't remember that ever happening in the series.
2 things, and more i don't have to say: yellow eye ... and accelerator
this whole time I've been skeptical about whether those speed boosts actually did anything or not. I'm still skeptical, but this race makes a good case for them.
@@jclkaytwo well it's a smooth flat surface compared to the sand, so less friction = more go fast
@@Dr.Death8520 yeah, but they're really small and short, and have never proven to actually make a difference until now.
I love to see the hustle from duck tape. It’s hard getting out of a bottom position. Even though he didn’t reach the top 5, he kept the race from disaster through hard work and hustle. Good work DT
Such a good race by Slimer! We may have lost the lead in the final second of the race but such a fantastic performance overall! Keep up the great work!
I'm still heartbroken though, Slimer was so close and did everything mostly right. Oh well, that's marble racing for you.
That was not an exceptional run whatsoever. You only had some luck with trap door that gave you +1.00 sec on everyone, and still managed to lose...
Silver Bolt FTW!
glad to see my boy pollo loco in the top spots
Wow! That was one of the best races yet! I loved the "trap door". It's ingenious! Well done guys, and congratulations to the winner. I didn't see that coming!
Two 7th place finishes for Blizzard Blaster! Very consistent so far. Hopefully we can maintain it throughout this season.
I'm hoping we can improve, not just stay getting 7th.
@@ed_vilon668 yeah, I'd like to see Blizzy further ahead too :)
What an exciting race! With the DNFs, I'm getting the sense that they think they can take a shortcut by leaping over the wall - but they don't realize that there's no real path for them to get back to the track.
YES LET’S GO SILVER BOLT! Taking that speed boost just to barely take first place! First win in the Sand Rally and in first overall! So proud of you Silver Bolt ⚡️
leave space so u don’t spoil it bro
Silverbolt defiantly has a new fan, that photo finish was crazy!
Great race. Good effort Amethyst. And great job to Silver Bolt, showing the value of the speed boosts.
Loved the music in the background. Nice touch!
Top 5 finish for grasshopper 🦗 definitely better than last race 😅
Let’s go Slimer and Red number 3
What a race! So intense and so much happening. Love the added traps and difficulties - an really liked how there was a re-entering possibility for marbles which got out of the course. Sadly, they got off at different points than anticipated but well-thought out!
Superball with a 2nd 4th place to stay…4th place. Excellent
What a finish! That speed boost was epic. And I loved the trap door.
Let's go, Ducktape! Worked up from nearly last all the way up to 6th. Excellent efforts, which paid off today. Consistent results will culminate in respectable standings. #StickToIt
Another awesome race, thank you Jelle! This course was very well designed :)
Slimer was SO CLOSE to the win! They still ran a great race, so a very well done to them, but they must be kicking themselves after that one. We'll get them next time!
Wtf am I watching. An old man watching marbles lol . Thanks mate cheers
Slimer thought he had it, but Silver Bolt was like, "Coming through!!!" and steals the win. Never seen that happen.
Good job Slimer, though being passed at the finish line, your consistency through the race proved your determination and we know how hard you've been training for this. Congratulations🎉
Two 4th places in a row... consistency is the key. Let's go Superball. That podium is coming.
To use MarioKart terms, RN3 got banana peeled, green and red shelled to death at the last little bit.
Awesome job SB
This was my first time watching and I have to say this was an incredibly entertaining thing to watch. That ending!! 😀♥️
it is truly mind boggling how enjoyable this is i love this channel
Those obstacles really can screw the chances of the other marbles winning.
Congrats to Silver Bolt!
Silver bolts marble was running real good today. No doubt a huge thanks to his sponsors.
Very entertaining and exciting! You must really have a lot of patience to build the courses. The commentaries are really realistic. Well done and I'd love to see more.
Love these hill sand courses.
Red Number 3 had a mega start, but he was too slow in the second half...
Years take their toll, he can't maintain that speed for the whole race anymore
How dare you? Doubting a legend like that? RN3 is in full control, he checked the last race out from behind, this time they tried the field's ability to catch a runner...he's alright, I promise ;)
That track obstacle hit him right I’m the face…
I think RN3s time is over.
@@ILoveMyBeard001 where is your house?
Hughe Pollo Loco fan here. Great fight and well-deserved P3, love it
That chevron makes an insane last overtake! Spectacular chance for a move
Back down to Earth for the rookie. I think they'll take it as a learning experience and come back next race all the better
For me Cobra is the MVP for helping others coming back to the race 4 times during its career. A pity it doesn't happen everytime like here.
Still rooting for the green underdog!
Wow I haven't seen number 3 place so low in awhile, amethyst needs to pick it up, had a good showing in the qualifiers and race 1 but this was a let down.
Some real changes of momentum in this one. Drama with the crash outs and more with the course obstacles and boosts. Great track and race!
DAAAMMMMMMNNNNN wish we had a photo finish view from the side. That finish. Wow. Just wow!
Fun Fact: That deficit ties the record for smallest margin of victory ever with the gap between Quicksilver (1st) and Nemo (2nd) in Race 5 of 2017 of one-hundredth of a second.
Pollo Loco Lets Gooo. great start to this years rally season
SPOILERS
Heyyyy Pollo! That's what I like to see! Moody still not doing great but they were up there as well at a few points. It's still anyone's game.
Pollo is did well in both races so far! Consistency is key!
Woa!! That lead change at the end!! Holy canolli!!
Another good points day for Superball, they are right in that title mix
That was one exciting race!
Pollo Loco with another top 5 finish!
Go team!
By far one of the best races I have seen on this channel for a long while!
Yaay! Can we look forward to one a week? Absolutely a wonderful must-see show, this SMR. Loving it! Laughing so hard and cheering fiercely! Toungue-in-cheek sportsfun at it's very best!
I love how (briefly) the top 3 from the previous race all DNFd!
Red number 3 has a great legacy
This is the only sports I watch!
Man that race was brutal.
Jelle! Jelle! Jelle! Thank you Jelle, and the entire team.
Ow man am I enjoying this even though it's the first season without my man Comet!
Lord of the rings!! What a race 🙌🏼
I loved this action packed race I was interested in every single moment never dull like always
Here for this amazing marble racing content!!💪🏾💪🏾
Damn, really thought we see Gold again for RN3
What a win by sliverbolt!!!
Incredible race ! What a disappointement for RN3 and AME, but great performances overall !
Ghost is still representing quite nicely
a great race for me. All my favorites excluding ghost plasma, Crazy Cats Eye, and Wisp Of Darkness finished top ten. Silver bolt, superball, and grasshopper finished top 5. Ducktape, Cool Moody, and Red Number 3 also finished in between 10 and 5. I wish they all did good.
I love this channel so much.
Amazing ! Great races in a new season !
What a win for Silver Bolt
When it comes to the marble rally I always go for an underdog and I chose silver bolt. Great win at the end can't wait till next race
Looking at that sand hill, I for one would love a straight-line, drag race tournament.!
some fun course bits on that one. it's rare to see 1 and 2 taking different lines through the weave sections
What a finish congratulations silver bolt commiserations crazy cat eyes
Clean race by BBL. Had some mistakes early and in the midsection (even stopped momentarily!) but picked it up when it mattered in the final section and secured a Top 7 finish. Onto the next 💪
Being a Ghost Plasma fan is pain
Amazing finish. Didn't look like Slimer was trying to showboat, though, just didn't hit the line on the way out of the final turn.
i never thought those speed boosts had much affect.... today, they made a believer out of me.!!!!
I have seen this before, in the practice race of Marble Rally 2019 qualifying, Summer Sky and Phoenix rode the first chevron straight across and both got past Pollo Loco because of it.
What a finish!
Wow, what a finish!!!
Superball once again strong finish
Way to go!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
They second spinning bar was devastating to the line up.
I picked amethyst because they were new, I’m getting huge mellow yellow vibes already
Shame about amethyst. I get the feeling this is gonna be a season of exciting races and crazy finishes. I'm excited to see what happens in race 3.
Man ggs silver bolt. What a finish
CCE in last place makes me VERY happy.
The music adds so much here!
Slimer is my Ryan Newman. Not the biggest not the best. But good enough to pull off wins or close too. My favorites
I had to put that win on slow motion. Amazing finish.
Superball with a nice overtake at the end as well. Traps are cool but if you're going to have one that favours the leader then maybe you should try to find one that slows them down as well?
Slimer thought he had it in thr bag! It's not over til it's over!
Superball had an incredible race!
Great race!
