Hi all, I created this leaderboard since there wasn't one for the PlatinumQuest version of the MBU levels and there are plenty of differences.
One question that I'd like to hear about what the community thinks: should the final Advanced level Hypercube be considered part of the speedrun? I have some reasons for and against it:
- It's included in the PlatinumQuest levels in the advanced category, and this leaderboard is for that version
- The level is not in the original Marble Blast Ultra and was added as an extra (apparently the level is a bonus from MBG?)
- The physics of that level don't match the rest of the levels (the marble is smaller and there is no blast)
Personally, I'm in favor of leaving that level out of the run, but I'm curious to what others think. I also considered splitting them into two categories "60 levels" and "61 levels", but that seems pretty overkill to me and it's probably best to just stick with one of those.
In one of my any% attempts, I had this obscure bug occur. I entered the door to the rosetta room, but the instant I pressed up, the room I was in got reset. There wasn't any fade in or fade out, the room just instantly reset. What's interesting is that after resetting, the room contained black holes which means it really did count as the second time I was in that room.
I've never seen this bug before, so I'm not sure if it's already known. I have no idea what caused it or how to reproduce it :)
Thought I'd share it here. Apologies if this is already known!
