So, I began doing some runs to set a time in Elephant Valley, and I also got the glitch teleport to Checkpoint #1. However, I didn’t get the checkpoint, so the game didn’t count my lap. I did another lap around just to make sure I could set a time. Would my lap be my entire race time or only the lap the game counted?

Guess what, exactly after I made this, I also discovered that there also was a glitch in the Crossroads! Unfortunately, the glitch is most likely slower, because of the very low difference between the start line to checkpoint #1 and having to go back to claim the checkpoint. After that, I did another run, and set a good time. I’ll post it to YouTube and submit it here too.

in marble mania, races are just one lap long and your time only counts if you go through all the checkpoints before crossing the finish line if you skip one (even by glitching or teleporting), the game won’t count the lap at all so make sure to hit every checkpoint or your time won’t show up

So maybe go in the checkpoint and start the run? that's what i did and it seems to work on crossroads too. honestly it would be useless on crossroads, perks or no perks, since there are booster at teh start with no perks

Now, I set a time with the glitch where I did not forget to claim the checkpoint. It’s already submitted, so that’s my first run with glitches, can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Nice !
