MARBLE RALLY 2024🌞S7: Round 1 - Jelle's Marble Runs

[@whalesequence]

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.

[@radish6691]

Nah, grind up the losers into glitter!

[@limetime2773]

I don’t care that I haven’t watched the other seasons I’m watching this one

[@NeungView]

We don't care

[@Zixivyxity]

you should totally binge the other seasons

[@davidferguson7012]

You're missing out big time! You should binge them during the week to catch up on the lore 🤌🏻

[@khpredator00]

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!

[@Lepro2526]

[@samdemel4126]

We had our fist DNF of the season and it wasn’t a competitor.

[@joshuaghozeil8061]

Pour one out for them ... i hope they can shake it off and get ready for the next race

[@matthewulanski217]

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.

[@Stratelier]

Sounds like an unbroken streak of at least one DNF in SMR race 1 then?

[@eliezersmarbleraces3137]

@@Stratelier Yes.

[@eliezersmarbleraces3137]

I realized that the Ghost Marble is ruled to have crashed out before they even go off the track.

[@JuliansMarbleZone]

Red #3 had a slow start but they finished so they’re doing better than the start of their 2018 season

[@mikezard1311]

terrible start. got hit into the wall .

[@hutchowens4353]

Team RN3 4L!

[@admiralzaalkorisvasqwib-qw2547]

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.

[@insanerocks120]

This spoiler barrier is brought to you by the one, the only, Jelle. The SMR is go!

[@NorthwoodsBrawl26]

ITS BACK!!!

[@EricB256]

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.

[@WillMellquist]

Rough start for RN3 but a decent job by Crazy Cat’s Eye. I’ll take it

[@notsosilentmajority1]

I do miss my favorite teams not racing but I'm just glad to have Jelle's back in action.

[@leafycrossing4755]

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!

[@frostlord1246]

These were definitely the best tracks you guys have made so far. Keep up the fenominal work guys 👍🏻

[@AV_8833]

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 !

[@ryanmisner8824]

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.

[@Monkey832]

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.

[@chelsdollhousehoney2689]

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.

[@imjoking4169]

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:-)

[@cousinted]

Green Turtle's great performance in the first race makes a lot of sense. Turtles lay their eggs in wet sand after all...

[@TopherOKeefe]

Red Number Three is MY BOY!

[@josiahtotanes]

-SPOILERS- GREAT START BY BLUE MOON 🌑 FIRST PODIUM EVER! I knew you could do this! #bluemooncomeback 🤩

[@Millimallow]

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!

[@matthewulanski217]

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.

[@dinodigger3825]

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!

[@ArcadeMusicTribute]

Wow this is exciting. My favorite SMR is back and you even brought back the 2nd league. Fantastic and can't wait for more !!!

[@insanerocks120]

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?

[@Undrave]

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.

[@legendarywiimaster]

Red this is not the start we needed

[@blipblop5757]

I think the scoring to award one point to everyone down from 15 doesn't make sense. Maybe a change is needed

[@blackjetski555]

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]

It’s actually reverting to the 2018 scoring.

[@blackjetski555]

@@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.

[@insanerocks120]

@@blackjetski555 yea, me too.

[@dramaqueen6G]

Go Grasshopper! That was a brilliant overtake!

[@Smidgebomb]

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

[@PedroPonyDid911]

As much as it pains me to say and is it still just the first race but it seems that RN3’s performance has gone drastically downhill these 2 seasons. At least in comparison to previous years

[@idavid8391]

LET'S START RIGHT, DUCKTAPE AND PHOENIX! A good start it was not.

[@musculusiv4172]

DRA 💪🏻💪🏻 But I dont like this collector basin as it punishes the marble who gets in first... It's basically a LIFO structure lol

[@Texasguardian95]

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 😎

[@timothyS_taproductions]

Amazing race yall!! Nice to see some new faces on the podium and accomplishment today!! Blue Moon, Grasshopper🔥🔥🔥

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!!

[@naldjpm]

Grasshopper with that same premium it raced with during qualifying. Wonderful racing.

[@wreade-vc6et]

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 :) .

[@artplaya0711]

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

[@Ancolyrica]

Spoiler Am I crazy or were that two different tracks? If so I think the first one was more interesting, while the second one for the A League was more fair, cause I feel like for the splits on the first track there was a way more favourable route than the other was, which I feel like wasn't the case for the second track. Also... the bottom 5/6 always just 1 point before, so the same amount? I mean if so, rank 15 onward it doesn't matter anymore or barely where you finish, as long AS you finish. Glad for Reflektors 6th place finish and for Amethyst to at least got 5 points, while not really making big impressions in this race. Ghost Plasma tho, you had a good chance to rank high, but sth must went wrong horribly there. I guess "at least" 2 points? xD

[@existing0]

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.

spoiler Well, Amethyst did not repeat last year's performance, shame. But they didn't do terribly either. Looks like Grasshopper is indeed one to watch...

[@deanmcmullen5982]

Genuine question: I noticed some marbles pick up more dirt than others during a race. Are all the marbles polished before races? Or just cleaned? Or come as they are? 🤔

[@matt010288]

Why did the track length change from the non-qualifier’s race to the race run by those who qualified?

[@Cthulhu83]

What, exactly, is the purpose of the ghost marble (R.I.P.)?

[@MichaelPiz]

RN3 got squoze out right at the start, leading to a disappointing finish. Here's hoping better times are a-comin'.

[@Dr.Death8520]

Anyone else feel the starting funnel was biased? The marbles on the left (viewer perspective) hit the wall straight away, losing the starting momentum. The rest of the marbles got to keep going straight
