Post your made-up marble stories here!

I'm a person who lives for humour and can laugh at anything, so I thought I'd make this post to provide some for me.

You can make up a story involving the marble on its adventures.

Starter:

This marble was doing Upward Spiral when it came across a Super Jump powerup.
"Hi!" said the marble, "Can I use you to get onto this here platform?"
"Sure!" said the Super Jump. The marble used it and missed the platform.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" it said as it fell down and down and down and down and down until it fell into a time portal, swirling round and round, eating away at the marble.
"Mwahahahaha!" said this giant monster, chewing the marble. And at that moment, someone appeared in the distance.
"Don't fear! Marbleman is here!" he said as he flew up to the monster and slayed it with a gyro. He caught the marble in mid-air and used a gravity modifier to return the ground level.
"Thanx!" said the marble.
"No problem!" said Marbleman, "I will be happy to save you, even with the different marble textures! Goodbye, and may the marble-like force be with you!" Marbleman flew into the sky.

THE END

Y'know, that's one thing that MarbleBlast is really missing: Enemies! It certainly has hazards, but since they're relatively passive, I don't think they qualify.

One day a marble named Godfrey went to the Great Divide Revisited to have some fun. There was an X-treme Base there for free-falling off the gap at the top. He jumped off and died.

Well then, we now have 4 writers.

How about this!!?

CHAPTER XIV: The biggest challenge of all!

Marble woke up with quite a big jolt. He rembered; today was the day he was going to explore the custom levels!! He hopped out of bed, and into the game.

"Hmm, now let's see. Tube Slide. Sounds interesting. I will give it a go."
said marble, and he hit play. He looked in front of him. He saw the words
'FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!' but he didn't think it was time for too many fast jumps.
He rolled forward, only to find a long pipe, and soon he went SMACK into a wall. Marble called, "MarbleMan, MarbleMan, MarbleMAN!" and Marbleman swooped up from the Out of bounds trigger. "Yes, Marble," said Marbleman. "Whats the matter?"
Marble said "Uhh.. what's with this crossroad??"
"I'll tell you what to do. Go to your left, use this Shock Absorber and roll continuasly forward. You will eventually land on the finish pad!
"Thanx!" said marble, and he dropped off. He used the shock absorber and rolled forward. But then, just as he thought was approaching the finish pad, it dissapeared, and saw Marblaxia in its place!

Hi this is my first post
No need to introduce yourselves

Here is my story:


(actually, it's a limerick)

There once was a marble named Pete,
Who was sad because he had no feet,
He could only roll,
You could use him to bowl,
And he melted when subjected to heat.

Chapter XIV (part 2)

He thought for a split second that sombody had killed Marbleman but scratched that thought because he needed some way to get out of this situation. marblaxia moved out of the way so he was free falling (free falling, free fall). Then it hit him!!!!! He was in the level free fall, maybe. Falling for 2 hours he sees a purple platform. He thinks he's right on it so he moves out of the way. But that was a big mistake! It got bigger and bigger and bigger until he was moving diagonally full speed! he realized this was a magnified free fall. so as he exits the second tube, he starts to see the end pad, but hits a red girder and bounces into the wall! By now, he doesn't call on marbleman because he'd given that some serious thought.he finds a super jump accompanied with a gyrocopter so he uses them both. Just barely making it out of that situation, he goes inside the tube. He finally hits the end pad but nothing happens...

Chapter XIV (part 3)

He snags a gyrocopter by accident. Hoping it'd get him up far enough, he activated it, while bouncing. He finds a super jump and looks up. A lot more are up there!!! So he activates them all and just barely makes it up to the supposedly real exit pad. But thinking that was real was a big mistake, he knew. so instead of just landing on it, he finds a gyrocopter right away and activates it. It was a really good choice because that turned into Marblaxia too! so he coasted over to the real finish and finished before Marblaxia did, but very close.

Coming soon, Tower Maze

TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORIES: MARBLE.

in 1997, marble was created. he played with the other marbles. rolled, bounced, he did everything a normal marble would do. then, he was snagged up by a cult group that goes by the name of "garage games". They made him into a game called marble blast gold. NOW HE IS FORCED AROUND BY COMPUTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!

tune in next time for the Gordan Freeman True Hollywood Story.

Chapter XV

Prologue
As the Marble goes through the portals to another level, he keeps on giving serious thought on this name thing. Who knows, maybe he'll find a name and go into the prefs.cs file and change all of "The Marble" to his real "name".

When he came out of the Portal, immediately the announcer said go.... That's unusual, he said.so he quickly rolled onto themoving platform, and so on until he was on the finish. But, little did he know, he could not move on, unless he made a high score, and all the high scores were World Records!!! When he heard the finish pad saying, sorry you gotta start over, you didn't make a high score, he knew what was going on. MARBLAXIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Said something from out in the distance. The ground started to rumble, so he thought quickly, if i get in that squeezing between platforms, right here on the edge, the rumbling should shake the level avay and i should be clear. So he did that. But only on the second try, then right away, after he got out, the rumbling stopped. Something came with the power of 500 super speeds, and he KNEW it was MARBLEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As Blaster (i guess that's his name now) landed on the finish, in about 8 seconds, (the time to beat was 17.2). He typed in Blaster, but he knew that Marblaxia had already skipped this level using the lower right corner trick. The next time they meet, who knows what would happen...
