Star Love
There’s something in the stars who we look up to as marble sports fans. What makes them so special to write about?
M1S4 Memo #10: Three Stories Around the Square
Rapidly always loved to watch Speedy race. They’d always favored exhilarating sharp turns and aggressive chases, clawing for positions until the very end. Even after all this time, they still ran every race like it was their first – like they still had something to prove. A lot had happened since that first race. BackContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #10: Three Stories Around the Square”
Going All In
In Marbula One, champions don’t boil down to just their best racer. Teams that were once broken can learn to lift each other up.
M1S4 Memo #9: Stargazing at the Accelerator
“…you really don’t have to do this.” “Are you kidding?! Two bronzes in a row, Orangin?! Keeping us in championship contention?! I have no choice but to—-good evening, I—yes, I’m doing outstanding, how are you?… Amazing. I’m calling to ask if you sell gluten-free donuts.” Clementin and Orangin, ever the dynamic duo, waited as theContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #9: Stargazing at the Accelerator”
M1S4 Memo #8: Good Eats at Electron Expressway
Mallard had been competing in top-level tournaments for long enough to keep their composure throughout the podium ceremony and press conferences, but on the roll back to their hotel room their emotions were fragile. They had come close to winning a race before, but this was the first time Mallard had truly felt the victoryContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #8: Good Eats at Electron Expressway”
M1S4 Memo #7: Illusions at Misty Mountain
The checkered flag waved and Clementin crossed the line for the win. The O’s in the stands were louder than they had been in a long time, and nobody was happier than Clem. They immediately jumped over the wall and rolled over to their rowdy fans and celebrated like a youth athlete who had justContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #7: Illusions at Misty Mountain”
M1S4 Memo #6: Dancing in the Sleet
The stands in the Thunderbolts section were shaking in excitement, the most lively they had been all season. This podium had jolted the fanbase back to life, and they were as happy as ever. Thunder rolled back to the locker room, feeling an immense amount of joy, and was greeted with a champagne shower fromContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #6: Dancing in the Sleet”
M1S4 Memo #5: Halfway Havoc
The euphoria Momo felt from crossing the line in P1 hadn’t simmered down, despite several hours passing since the climax of the Tumult Turnpike Grand Prix. In the weekly team debrief after each race, Coach Momomomomo and the Marbula pair were typically laser-focused on the next steps; always looking for how to maximise the followingContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #5: Halfway Havoc”
M1S4 Memo #4: Second Chances at Greenstone
Draklin was full of memories. Not necessarily all bad ones, but they still rung fresh. The silver lining, aside from their newly acquired bronze, was that they’d managed to duck away from the post-race press conference. Cloudy, now alone, let the race settle in their mind, flicking the corners of their notes. The pages wereContinue reading “M1S4 Memo #4: Second Chances at Greenstone”
