Mad Marble Maze: Three-Fold Maze (Advanced level 9), A-Maze-ing (Advanced level 14), and Escher's Race (Advanced level 19).Lift of Doom: Several levels have these, some next to each other and requiring good timing to move between.Level Editor: Not only can you make your own levels with existing panels from the game, but you can also construct your own panels to make more levels in external editors, such as Constructor, Qu Ar K and Blender.Perhaps an even better example is Advanced level 48 (Icarus), which requires a long chain of super-accurate jumps using the Super Bounce powerup.Leap of Faith: Advanced level 4 is called just that, it features a choice between a long narrow winding road and carrying out this trope via super-jumping across the level at the end of it you need to fall down to a small platform, beside which the finish pad is located.On the other hand, if you reach the finish pad after about one second, you still get the "Congratulations! You've finished!" message, but you haven't actually finished because the game will immediately restart you (and your finish is not recorded). If you hit the trigger and reach the finish pad within about a second, then you can still finish the level. Some custom levels place the finish pad in an out-of-bounds trigger. Kaizo Trap: When you hit an out-of-bounds trigger, you have a couple of seconds where the game declares you out of bounds before it restarts you.Gravity Screw: Gravity Modifiers can change the direction of gravity that you control the marble in.It additionally reverts to the lighter theme seen in Gold, rather than the Darker and Edgier tones of Ultra and Platinum. It also pushes the Torque 3 D engine to its limits by adding a range of graphical upgrades, objects, powerups, assets and triggers, altering the standard Marble Blast formula to become more diverse. Platinum Quest (2017) is a direct sequel to Platinum that again adds 138 all-new levels with a complete rework of soundtrack and textures.A Director's Cut was released with it featuring 27 scrapped levels, increasing the total level count to 147. It features completely new textures, a full soundtrack, the Expert difficulty, rebranding of Gold Times as Platinum Times, the return of Easter Eggs and multiplayer from Ultra, and the introduction of the Harder Than Hard Ultimate Times on each level, requiring near-flawless gameplay to achieve. Marble Blast Platinum (2007) was the first major modification, adding 120 new levels and turning the difficulty up another notch.Game Mod: There is a large and ongoing modification community, consisting not only of fan-made levels (most of which use custom-made interiors), but also modifications of the game engine as a whole.At least two of the built-in levels feature glitched out of bounds triggers, so if you restart the level just before going out of bounds, the game will declare you out of bounds as soon as the level resets.This usually happens only on custom levels, and is a glitch based on scaling and rotating the game's built-in panels. It's possible to get stuck in a wall, forcing a restart.Forced Tutorial: Technically, most of the beginner levels are tutorials (although you can just skip to the intermediate levels if you want).

Floating Platforms: Pretty much the entirety of every level, though there are also some within some levels.Diagonal Speed Boost: The gold times for most levels require some amount of diagonal running to achieve.Darker and Edgier: Marble Blast Ultra, the Xbox 360 version, features darker lighting, a darker sky, and less cartoonish graphics, giving the game a more mature feel.Camera Screw: The camera controls can get a little wonky under the right combination of slopes, gravity modifiers, and movements.While this is easier to do with Gravity Modifiers, it's still easily possible without. If you manage to go too far horizontally or even upwards or hit the wrong trigger in a custom level, you can also fall OOB.If you go over the edge, you fall indefinitely until you're declared out of bounds (OOB). Some versions instead contain a playthrough of Advanced level 32, Whirl.Attract Mode: A playthrough of Advanced level 40, Ordeal.
