just noticed an interesting glitch

In single player ...

-restart whatever level you're in
-immediatly pause the game
-go into the leaderboards then exit them

now the gate around your marble is gone before the counter starts, you can get a few seconds head start  biggrin.gif

Thats F-ing rediculous. Ill give it a shot in a bit and post back if it works. I hope it does because all i need is par time for level 60.



Plus the stupid 2K gems in multiplayer, im probably around 300.

What you do is create your own game, pick a nice flat level that's easy to get around, and allow 1 other person.

You can easily get between 80 100 gems even with another person playing a game like that.

at that rate you'll only need to play 20 or 30 games to get the achievement.

My very first online game I did this and collected about 120 gems because the other player showed up about a minute into it.

well i know all the little tricks and stuff but i was referring to the 2-3 seconds that people get.

now on the last level, i can get every gem except 1 in under 1:30. the last gem is pissing me off!

Hey, guys! I just discovered a new route to get to the goal on 55. You have to do it fast, though. laugh.gif

When you start the level, wait till you at least have minimum boost. Roll forward (no turns) and try to jump on the first 1/4 of the beam with a good amount of speed. You need to land as close to the start point side of the beam because you're going to need to jump as soon as you land. As you land, keep the jump trigger held down. Boost as your marble leaves contact with the beam. This will propel you over that black and yellow wall in front of you.

Aim for the right beam once you clear that wall. At the end of this beam (before the two horizontal beams in front), jump regularly. If you haven't slowed your marble down, you should have enough momentum to jump past those two beams and onto the yellow platform with the two planks. You should also have automatically nabbed the hourglass during this jump. Just remember to start pulling your marble backward in mid air so you don't go past the yellow platform.

When you land, take the left plank upwards to the square platform containing a Super Jump. Roll as fast as you can off that platform (toward the goal) and jump at the edge of it. At this point, your boost should be filled up considerably. You might have to use it for this jump. Then Super Jump and try to land in the goal. Good luck! smile.gif

Using this route, I went from having a ~35-second time, to a ~15-second time. I'm not gonna lie to you, it's not exactly easy getting everything to work as planned, especially landing the marble on the right beam after jumping the black and yellow wall. Once you get it, though, you'll be ecstatic.

ok i got it on my logitech webcam and its not the best of quality but u can see what i do. i stopped it after the last gem cuz i fell down and had to do another obstacle which F-ed me up, so after the clip stop on the last platform, turn around and go 1 level down for the grav modifier and go to the exit smile.gif

marble blast is available on the internet for free, why should I pay 16 bucks for the 360 one?

I played through a bunch of the Advanced levels last night... there are 4 I still have left to complete (3 more I have to get under par)

I had a tough time so much as getting the first gem on level 60, but I was going about it all wrong... thanks for the video beerchug.gif

The demo may be free, but you can't get the full game online for $10 (not $16).  And you certainly can't get it with all the crazy shaders that are going on in the 360 version.  Hmm, Achievements and Live MP are two other good reasons to get it.  It is sickeningly addicting (seriously sickening, I'm getting sick from lack of sleep tongue.gif).

I finally got all the eggs, and completed all the advanced levels under par! this thread has been hugely valuable. I'm only about 150 jewels away from the online veteran's badge too, then I can call this game COMPLETED  biggrin.gif
