Marble Blast Platinum - World Record Rampage #4: Expert

[@Mark-bb9qx]

This is absolutely mesmerizing. You guys know these layouts better than I know my family. Incredible stuff!!!

[@NickSoong]

I already watched the entire rampage when all sections came out, but I wanted take some time for what I'd have to say:
This is by far one of the best Marble Blast World Record Rampages I've ever seen in my experience!! It's crazy to think we now have a fourth rampage ever since the first "official" one came out over 13 years ago. Even though many of the paths might be familiar from the previous one with several new tweaks, it was still incredible to see how much effort the runners put in. It's incredible to see how much the longest expert levels have been improved over the runs in the original rampage.
The trailer was certainly the best way to kick off this rampage as it certainly deserved one. Every detail in this rampage was well thought out, by making MBP original as possible including:
*The MBP 1.10 HUD (timer/gem counter/help messages), which also includes the Time Travel timer introduced in PQ 2.5.0 to show how long the speedrunners can stop the clock without it restarting, especially in levels with several bonuses as well as the no-leading zeros in the gem counter plus thousandths.
*The Powerup Timer off
*The use of the original level titles based on the MBP-defined shapes (gems, helicopter, speed BOOSTER, etc.)
*The trapdoor down in Trapdoor Mania to accurately show how that run was executed.
*The Phil/Matan marbles in TToTTS as shown in a previous version of MBP (1.14?)
There have been several of runs that stood out to me the most, but if I were to pick one favorite out of each section, it'd be the following:
Beginner - Ramps
Intermediate - Roll Like the Wind!
Advanced - Platform Race 2
Expert - Battlecube Finale
Director's Cut - Bent Reality
Even though we don't have a bloopers section unlike previous rampages, all in all, I've been so proud of how this rampage turned out and to see how much they've improved on one of the best speedrunning games that have been part of my nostalgia! Massive shoutout/thanks to @Doomblah for kickstarting this project, @Nockess for editing and picking the right tracks for this montage (and happy birthday!), and @Xedron *excuse me* everyone who contributed this project. Thanks for another great rampage to finish this year before we head into the holidays! I can't wait to see what will be the next rampage, so I'll see then!

i like how im there!

[@gittles9692]

omg absolutely incredible stuff
Trigonometry, Sand Storm, Cardcaddy's, Slowropes, Catwalks, every single one of the Big 5
literally every run is just mind-blowing

[@HiGuyMB]

Great runs all, nice to still see new paths after so many years of optimization

[@Gentrol]

Absolutely fantastic! I am speechless after watching this. Great work to everyone!

[@samuellagrio4900]

Outstanding runs, this blows my mind for these new paths. Good job everyone!

[@HappyTreeX1]

15:39 that SJ timing looks super tight. incredible stuff.

[@emileserper6355]

being able to watch the "little-5" as i like to call them - dizzying heights, gyro monster course, recoil ultra, bouncing fun, and speed attack - with TT timers is so fascinating to me. also RIP the icy face of battlecube finale. if you go play the level you'll see it is now normal friction after xelna straight up lit it on fire

[@subtractment]

Don’t let him speedrun in the North Pole - the sea levels will rise

[@Mark-bb9qx]

btw what are tweaks?

[@obee58]

that slowropes was ABSURD

[@Bukki13]

[@BerserkWolf]
