    On the 16th of January, 2021, a complete newcomer to the speedrunning scene named xDiss posted a video innocently titled "red ball vol.1 boss glitch." In this video, xDiss managed to completely disrupt the normal progression of the boss found at the end of the game by slowly pushing it to the other side of the screen after completing phase 1. Though this strategy did not save any time at first, it was majorly improved by the hands of speedrunners Motorjam and NorXor, turning xDiss' boss push into the boss roll that we know today. With the strategy now having the potential to save around 25 seconds over a normal completion, the race to push the world record of the game from a 3:27 to below three minutes began. This is the story of the boss roll and how it changed Red Ball 4 Vol.1 speedrunning forever.

Also Incredi has gotten sub 2 and hasn't been beaten for 11 months, with the closest being NorXor 2 months ago, who got a 2:26, meaning not only did Incredi pass the barrier, but also is the only one to do so as of the time I'm posting this comment.

The game is made by a different creator and does not have an auto scroller like the rest of the red ball games. Also the red ball is too big for the screen (my opinion) and the jump height is too short (also my opinion).

    Hey can you just get the full version on mobile and fire stick?

      The mobile version is very different compared to the flash volumes, and its speedruns are tracked on a separate leaderboard. The boss roll does not work on mobile.
