What's your method for getting it? Looking back I've made it so that you can only get that cheev if you're getting a 4k bonus above the marble ingame in the first level from jumping off onto those score patterns.
BMT 23 Nov 2016 20:34
It may seem sloppy but afaik that was the only way to get that score, but if you're getting 3 or 5k from that bonus it wont trigger. there was a reason for this but i cant remember, i think it was triggering elsewhere if i didnt add that

Hi folks, BMT from the future here. I wasn't too smart to begin with so unfortunately there are a couple of tickets open that I can't fix. If any talented devs want to fix things, go ahead ;P

I never could even beat this game...until I saw this set :D Thanks! Everything works just fine :)
BMT 4 Jul 2019 21:47

FWIW, I hit the 5k bonus and got 10,320 points in stage 1 and triggered Racing Roaming Roller

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
SLOwinilero 27 May 2023 22:03
I got 10k going through the +4k bonus and it doesn't work.
SLOwinilero 28 May 2023 01:14
the problem is with retroarch, using Emuhawk it worked perfectly.

Great set, running through this brought back a ton of great memories.
Wolfsighs 11 Mar 2024 21:11
Pausing hardcore and practicing the last part of the last level helped me get the master. Getting some Wands helps for the 80k points but it’s pure luck

Mastered!

Mastered! Must use Emuhawk to get Racing Roaming Roller.
Kaneh 10 Jun 2024 03:45
May be the worst controls I've ever experienced, I get stuck on air going down a hill? Randomly stops all turning? A wand soft locked me in a catapult.
ChrisMDB 10 Jun 2024 03:49
Controls are great, responsive, and snappy, they just take time to master.

Thanks for the great set! Love this game! All Cheevos unlocked on Retroarch without issues. Video recap and 80K run here: https://youtu.be/DtNocyRp3VA

Mastery #59

I remember seeing some gameplay of Marble Madness on YouTube some time ago. Even though I thought the game had an interesting premise, I never took the time to pick it up and play it before I joined RA. I'm really grateful for the existence of this set because it was exactly the little push that I needed to give this game a fair shot.

It took me around 2 hours to get somewhat good at the game and a total of 3 hours and a few minutes for the mastery itself, but DANG if every minute spent with this game didn't feel great. The controls are snappy and responsive, the map design is great, and learning how to hastily traverse the maps without dying makes for what seems like an unforgiving gameplay loop at first. Eventually, though, it becomes an exhilarating experience when everything finally clicks and you beat the whole thing for the very first time.

Truly an experience I won't be forgetting soon. Thank you so much for the wonderful set!
