Great Marble Adventure

Great Marble Adventure is a third-person 3D platformer where you roll a marble through obstacle-filled stages, collect gems and aim for the best time. You can try to beat your personal best, complete a stage without falling, or do both.

Stages and difficulties

The game has more than 50 stages across five chapters, with themes including Retro, Nature, Medieval and Oriental. Each stage can be played on Easy, Normal or Hard difficulty, aimed respectively at beginners, players who enjoy 3D platformers and those seeking a challenge. Completing every stage on every difficulty unlocks another challenge.

Marble moves

Along with rolling and jumping, you can use techniques to clear obstacles. Wall-Hitting lets you gain height by hitting a wall while jumping; Diagonal Movement lets you move faster; and jumping on a slope can take you higher than a regular jump. You can combine these techniques, and a tips menu explains how to perform them.

Powerups and hazards

Super Jump gives an immediate height boost, while Super Speed gives an immediate speed boost. You can combine powerups with surfaces such as bouncy floors and with techniques such as using Super Jump and Wall-Hitting together. Slippery ice can hinder your progress, and stages also contain traps and hazards that you may be able to use to your advantage.

Stages and soundtracks

The stages have visuals and soundtracks that accompany their different themes. The soundtracks are by sonata1219.
