The Amazing Marble Race

The Amazing Marble Race is a series created by carykh. It is a competition series based on Battle for Dream Island and the Olympics.
== How it works ==
In Season 1, fifteen marbles competed in four legs. The slowest marbles to finish were eliminated.
Season 2 worked in a similar manner, but only one marble was eliminated per leg (except the finale). This is the only season to have just one video.
In Season 3, 56 marbles compete in 10 legs. (As of 17:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC), nine have been released.) In each leg, the slowest marbles die, and the number of dying marbles decrements by 1 with each successive leg (i.e., 10 marbles die in Leg 1, 9 marbles die in Leg 2, and so on). The surviving marbles' finishing times determine when they'll start the next leg.
== History ==
=== Season 1 ===
On December 21, 2011, "The Amazing Marble Race (Part 1)" was uploaded to carykh, making it the first ever marble race on YouTube. Part 2 was uploaded shortly after. Orange was the winner.
=== Season 2 ===
On February 24, 2013, carykh uploaded Season 2. This time, there were eight marbles competing in six legs. This video is the second-most popular video on the carykh channel. Blue, the only debuter, won.
=== Season 3 ===
On March 31, 2015, carykh uploaded Leg 1 of Season 3. He split it up into separate videos because the first leg "was already so long"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZEw3YE5KpQ (Check the description). Viewers had eight colors to pick from again, but this time, they could pick two, as each of the 56 marbles had two colors. The next three legs were uploaded about one month apart, with Leg 4, "Laps," being uploaded on June 18, 2015. Then, a six-month hiatus began, but Leg 5, "Synchrony," was uploaded on December 15, 2015. Then came another six-month hiatus. By this time, 16 marbles remained. The hiatus ended on July 5, 2016, when Leg 6, "One on One," was uploaded. Some design changes were implemented (including making the default speed x2 and mentioning every marble in the results section). Leg 7, "Up the Ladder," was uploaded 19 days after Leg 6, which was second-shortest wait time (behind Legs 1 and 2). The Amazing TWOW Marble Race (Legs 1–4) was uploaded shortly after; then, the longest hiatus ever began. Seven marbles were left, and Yellow became the first color to have all its marbles eliminated.
=== The end of the hiatus ===
On July 25, 2021, Leg 8, "World Flip," was uploaded, ending the five-year hiatus. After 1.5 years, Leg 9, "Rent-A-Car," was uploaded to YouTube. Leg 10 was planned to be released in January 2023; however, as of 17:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC), it has yet to be released.
