Bloxy Marble Racing | Short Guide
Mechanics
Tricking
To perform a trick (or jump boost): tap the jump button, press Space or (A for Xbox, X for PlayStation) on your controller, while on any upwards slope or ramp, which will make you jump higher.
As you do this, you’ll hear a sound and stars will briefly appear around your Marble.
On landing, you’ll gain a small speed boost!
(P.S. On mobile and controller, you’ll also feel a haptic!)
Slipstreaming
Stay close to and behind another racer for ~1-2 seconds to gain a temporary speed boost.
As you do this, you’ll hear a distinctive wind noise and wind particles will emerge from your Marble (both intensify as you start to slipstream).
Items
There are currently 6 items in Bloxy Marble Racing:
-
Speed Coil
Gives you a small speed boost. -
Fake Item Crate
Places a similar-looking item crate on the track which blows up when hit.
Tip: Fake item crates can be distinguished by its lighter box colour. -
Bomb
Drops a bomb behind you, which blows up after 2 seconds or if it is hit. -
Bazooka
Launches a bomb at the racer ahead of its user.
Tip: It may launch at the racer behind if there are no racers ahead. -
Homing Bazooka
Launches a bomb aimed at the racer in first place. -
Pizza
Launches a large pizza on to the screen of every racer in front its user.
Hitting an item crate on the track will give you a random item (the chances of obtaining a stronger item are higher the lower your place).
To use your item, tap the ‘Use’ button, press the ‘Q’ key or (RB) on a controller.
Progression
Scores & Ranks
You gain Score depending on your placement in a race; the maximum Score you can earn per race is 32 and the lowest is 4 (based on how many players you raced with and their places).
If your Score is high enough, you may earn a place on the monthly score leaderboard!
You can check by selecting the ‘Scores’ menu in the main menu.
Your Rank is based on your Win to Loss ratio shown the ‘Stats’ menu, which can be accessed by selecting the ‘Stats’ badge in the main menu.
The more Wins you have compared to your Losses, the higher your Rank.
The more Losses you have compared to your Wins, the lower your Rank.
Tip: Leaving the game mid-race counts as a Loss!
There are 4 ranks:
-
I (Bronze)
-
II (Silver)
-
III (Gold)
-
IV (Diamond)
The ‘Stats’ menu also shows other stats such as the number of tricks you’ve made and the number of times you have gone out-of-bounds (across all modes).
Marbles & Coins
You earn the same number of Coins as you do Score (except VIPs which get 1.5x more Coins per race)
As you accumulate Coins, you will unlock different Marbles you can race with. Currently there are 25 marbles that can be unlocked this way.
Marbles can also be unlocked by playing BMR daily.
VIP (and other future gamepasses) can be purchased from the main menu.
Before you join the race queue, you are prompted to select the Marble you would like to race with. You can also redeem codes here.
