Yellow was the hero that held off the attacks even after their own death. Truly, a savior many can only dream of. Btw, thank you for always putting so much effort in your every video. I can only imagine how hard it might be to not only code everything, but to also balance it all to make randomness "fair".
I really didn't expect the rainbow marbles to pull through, but yellow managed to buy enough time for Blue to charge the killing blow. That was insanely close.
I *love* how the rainbow marbles wont just lay down their own color all the time, but rather the color of the nearest allied cannon! (like how yellow's marble was laying down green and blue tiles) makes the teams feel more coordinated and the board feel less cluttered! ^_^
This felt like watching a short seven-episode anime - Episode 1: Red. You're introduced to all the characters and their relationships, the setting etc. They grey threat is introduced as an amorphous mass, it's a thinly veiled "removing color from the world" metaphor, yadda yadda. The team has only recently been assembled It's explained that grey is powerful, but between the seven of them they should be strong enough to clear it out. Red, already hotheaded, concludes from this that they'll have no trouble. They become overconfident, and ultimately get killed in a surprise twist at the end that sets the tone for the rest of the series. (Note: A lot of characterization and minutiae would need to be added on top of this plot skeleton) - Episode 2: Orange. Red wasn't really that popular, mostly keeping to themselves and Orange who has been affected the worst by Red's death. They develop a worrisome self-sacrificing streak, jumping in to protect Violet when they were at significantly more risk themselves. This culminates in a mixture of lack of care for their own well-being and failure to properly compensate for Red no longer being in the formation; they expect Red to support them against the attack, but when they look and are reminded that their friend is dead simply slump to the ground and let the attack hit them while Yellow looks on helplessly. Blue being pessimistic but analytical becomes a notable point. - Episode 3: Violet. Having witnessed the death of two of the most lively team members, Yellow takes it upon themselves to rally the rest of the team. Five is still a decently sized team, but only if they work together. This immediately pays off as Violet rushes to Blue's defense just in time for them to team up against what would otherwise have been a lethal attack. With a little chemistry and interaction sprinkled in between them that's been hinted at in earlier episodes (Blue being painfully shy, Violet being heavily protective) the team begins to stabilize...until a sudden, unexpected wave of attacks takes out Violet. - Episode 4: Indigo. By this point, a character death per episode has become the established formula and four seems too few for the team to prevail. The first turning point occurs when Yellow discovers a secret power that might allow them to turn the tide; the problem is that it renders the user incapacitated for a long period before it becomes charged, something that (again) they will need to work together in order to mitigate. Yellow begins charging and the others rally to defend; it goes well, with the team creating a defensive buffer while Yellow concentrates, but Indigo leaves themselves overexposed. It doesn't seem to matter as the attack is loosed, but then before it can hit home the grey performs one last vengeful strike, taking out both Yellow and Indigo in their seeming moment of triumph. The episode ends with only Green and Blue left alive and the grey's fate uncertain. - Episode 5: Yellow. It's revealed that the shot only severely wounded the grey rather than killing it. Blue (who is highly observant despite appearances, and in something of an emotionless fugue by this point) immediately begins charging another strike the same way Yellow did (albeit with no idea what to do with it) but the grey seems to turn Yellow's shot back against them, shocking, distracting, and despairing Blue who drops their charge prematurely and is nearly taken out by a counterattack before Green hears Yellow's voice, still cheerful in spite of everything, encouraging them as the giant ball of energy swings around behind them for another pass at the grey. Blue attempts another charge, but a flashback to Violet's death and the seeming hopelessness of the situation interrupts her again. The yellow attack swings past Blue this time, with a much lengthier conversational sequence; Blue feels inadequate and useless and like Violet died because of them, Yellow tells them it wasn't their fault and that they've always been the smartest out of all of them; surely they'll figure something out. Flashback to Yellow's shot initially missing, and Blue realizes...something, just as the episode ends.
- Episode 6: Green. Field analysis of Yellow's near miss reveals that Blue has spotted a core that seems to be exuding the amorphous, threatening mass. The two are no longer faced with the impossible goal of clearing up the entire grey by themselves; if they can hit that core, the rest is inert and can be disposed off at no risk. They communicate this to Yellow, who swings around for a direct strike at where Blue has identified the core to be...only to be deflected back at the last second. Yellow passes by blue one more time, apologizing that they had to pass their burden on but assuring Blue that they could do it before making a final, futile assault; the attack is clearly too weak to make it to the core now. It dissipates, lingering yellow light outlining Blue who appears to have fallen into despair again...until the camera pans around to their face, revealing determination instead. Blue starts charging. A massive attack is made directly at Green...who realizes that if Blue aborts the charge to save them, they likely won't get another chance. After a brief wordless exchange communicating this, Green prepares to take the attack head-on; a burst of green light from offscreen is the only indication we get of the hit as Blue remains focused on their target. The episode ends with a fully charged Blue staring down the grey, but unsure where to fire; if this shot misses there will be no way to charge another one, and Blue only got a brief glimpse of it before; plus the landmarks that were nearby have been obliterated in the fighting, making it impossible to locate by memory. (Probably add in some Blue/Green interaction in the middle, showcasing the latter defending the former) - Episode 7: Grey. Highly stylized first part. The attack is shown coming for Blue as the grey prepares to overwhelm the last defender and cover the world. Having seen the two failed charges earlier, it feels no threat; it is a highly alien entity, but we get flashes of its "thoughts" which convey meaning as best they can. It is something like a cellular automaton; in the world it existed in, resources are limited only by time (no conservation of energy, more is being generated) but due to this "ease" life has not evolved an internal experience beyond "stimuli good" and "stimuli bad"; it arises naturally rather than through reproduction, which has also caused this. The whole thing has an air of being an environment distinctly created to manufacture semi-organic superweapons. Somehow it came to this world and all color was "stimuli bad". It fires an attack at Blue. Its model of the future is shown predicting the last of the Very Bad Things, which seem to be somehow more colored than the rest of the world, failing to attack a third time and being eliminated by the oncoming attack; the world then turns to greyscale and with none of its former competition the grey expands freely and unstoppably across the cosmos. This grey vision rapidly tints blue from the edges in, transitioning back to Blue's aura. As a single attack bursts through the grey cover and hurtles towards them, everything suddenly clicks; with the relatively calm conditions, it's obvious that the shot (and all the others before it, we see in a montage) was fired directly from the core. Blue's final attack rips the grey's comparatively tiny shot apart, and furthermore lets them pinpoint exactly where the core was by backtracing it; the resulting strike, even larger than Yellow's, tears through the grey and ends the threat for good. (The episode title at first seems to imply that the grey wins...but then you remember that the episode titles are the characters that die. It's a subtle poke at how pessimism and grief can blind one to logic, which is a major theme of Blue's character arc) - Epilogue: Blue. A title card bearing these words pops up after the Grey is defeated and the episode is almost over. Blue pledges to live their life in honor of the memory of their comrades and friends who died to save the world. Blue is clearly beset by grief but not crushed by it; they are shown a year later at a memorial to the six fallen, with a six-petaled flower badge (blue in the center, the other six colors surrounding it) that has become a symbol of the sacrifice. A small child comes up to them excitedly and says "you must be the best coz you're in the middle!"; they have a brief flash of despair, then of anger...then realizes the child just doesn't know any better and ends up settling on mild bemusement. Blue sits down with the kid and begins telling them stories about the others to show that they were all strong even if Blue was the only one to make it out alive; after one or two of these, the episode ends with the camera panning up as a silly anecdote about Red begins. (I committed to not locking in genders for anyone, but damn if I didn't type "she" for Blue like fifteen goddamn times. Also one would want way more character development for the others, but Blue's development is the most central to the whole thing ...I have a weird urge to write this now, even if it is largely a cheesy anime plot)
I’m glad there are RUclipsrs carrying on the spirit of Marble Racing since Carykh doesn’t really do them anymore. You, Mikan, and Carson Jay are saviors of the sport and I applaud you.
Wow, thank you! I didn't even know that that carykh used to do marble races, and I've been watching his channel for a while! I hope to continue doing them for a long tie, I still have a lot of ideas :)
@@lostmarbles2d oh yeah I used to watch his marble races back in like 2014, he had classic marble race music accompanying his videos (mostly Kevin McLeod songs)
I always root for white in all the different marble competitions across youtube, and Here was white's time to shine instead of always performing mediocre. But then yellow comes in nearly gets the killing blow and then buys enough time for blue to charge the killing shot. Proving once again that no matter what video they are in white hasn't found an advantage they can't somehow screw up.

Just obstacles. The number indicates how many hits it will take before disappearing. Reason for putting them there is to prevent the other players from easily sneaking a ball behind the boss's blindspot (its turret rotates 90 degrees) without having to work for it first.

Thank you so much! This one in particular took a lot of fine tuning to balance.
And then there's red, who died an unfortunate death at the hands of a 256 in the first minute of the battle. RIP red.

And blue really went all out at the end with the 3072, but yellow truly the MVP the protector that saved everyone at a cost of his own life
yellow was a real guardian angel at the end, without yellow, white would have won

The yellow one made green tiles only after yellow died I think?
And then a little bit of red color green must of fallen then.
4:20 The ultimate tragedy is Yellow firing off a *Big Shot* and then immediately dying without even realizing they missed the boss anyway.
At least they bought enough time for blue to make another Big Shot™ :)

I love this, thanks for sharing!
That's one good short comic right there
.
This is just the better plot for the heros of color city, and I would down to watch that
Very well done, the boss has the advantage of high pressure, but rainbow has the advantage of more chances to charge a killing shot
Thanks! Took so many tries to get the balance just right

yeah. especially cuz some of them died to early or quickly, like Red
yes yes yes
I love how you made the colors more bright and vibrant!

Blue really threw a spirit bomb
"You ended my friends. Now I will end YOU"
@@wert_. Alan Becker reference??
Yellow: sacrificed hero
Blue: second hero
That was seriously intense. Burst felt *so* OP without a cool down and as large as its zone was
Adding a cooldown sounds like a good idea, thanks for the suggestion! I might add a cooldown to "power moves" in future videos.

Ever watched Final Space? It feels almost the same as watching this. Especially the first season. Damn.
Just want to put it out there, but I voted for blue, as always, and I believed in them from the start.

Blue won with the power of friendship and believing in his friends' sacrifice
Less than a minute, and Red already got their base taken down.
Huh.
Yellow: "BLUE, GREEN! THIS IS THE LAST OF MY COLOR! TAKE IIIIT!!"
This kind of content is the ultimate abstraction of entertainment. Like you could teach a class on why this kind of stuff gets an audience
Myself included
Yellow: *shoots the 2048 ball*
Grayscale: "You should have gone for the head"
Blue 1 or 2 minutes later: *AIMBOT CRITICAL HIT!*
Blue did a good job.
Why does the "bosses" attacks hurt itself but the "players" attacks don't hurt themselves? A lot of the damage the "boss" took was from itself.
Wow I love how the bigger they are the more they replicate meteors.
Not just meteors, but neutron stars!
A splendid battle!
Love how the last two colors alive were my favorite colors
After yellows help blue managed to break thru his fears and in anger he shoots grayscale with the largest deathstar he could make and wins victorious
Yellow: Change da world. My final message. Goodbye.
Blue at the end : "It was not even my final form."
Rainbow coalition has won, but at what cost: all is ruined, nearly all the colors are dead, the blue is now ruling like a tyrant
This was indeed the first time I cheered for another color besides a variation of green
Green being a Good Soilder and Yellow for the Great Sacrifice and the Early ones we lost in the fight
Lime was like sorry buddy he got me
Blue like I got this friends
Blue: You ended my friends. Now is my time to end you
LOOK AT THOSE TWO HUGE BULLET MADE BY YELLOW AND BLUE (in case, Yellow gets 2048 bullets total, while Blue got 3072!)!
Oh cmon I didn't even live for that long
Yellow: Change the worl, my final message, goodbye
U got the colors mixed up. That was purple that got eliminated before violet.
grey: murders yellow
blue: so i started blasting
Azul al final: gané....... Pero a que costó?
rainbow colours(red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet)vs white(the boss),which team will win!?:)
blue just weited for hes teammates to get eliminated so he can get all the glory for himself
Yo it's my idea! It's great to see it done!
They could've made an anime about yellows heroic sacrifice
bruh red is that one guy that justs wants to spectate am i right 😂
Because of the thumbnail I pictured wierd human like white goop coming out of the white circle
Now I can't unsee it
Near the end blue just get gray team eliminated in the best possible way
about a minute later, the whole board is now a pool
I like Rainbow teams!
The path of yellow: Guardian Of The Rainbow
YES MY FAV COLOR IS A HERO YELLOW PROTECTED THEM EVEN AFTER IT'S DEATH
YES FINALLY
Can you put the Boss next time in the midle?
rainbow team wins!(only blue survived :(.)
Super early elimination of red made for a real hard matchup for team roygbiv

That isn't aligned with either team.

That must of took lots of work like with finding out what colour the tiles would be
I check the distance between the block and each of the players. The colour changes to that of the closest player. Not too difficult :)
And that was lime not green. It's ok u mixed up colors
10000x10000 multiple or release maybe?
Maybe as a 10k sub special :)
Yellow died protecting his teamates that's what a true winner is called
Blue. Didn't win
Yellow is the true winner
Also, what the heck are those two huge triangles next to white?
Just obstacles. The number indicates how many hits it will take before disappearing. Reason for putting them there is to prevent the other players from easily sneaking a ball behind the boss's blindspot (its turret rotates 90 degrees) without having to work for it first.
