**Marble**, also known as Marble Mania Productions; was one of the eight newcomers to compete on Bowser Party's first era on Discord in Season 2, and returned for the third season. He joined both the first and later second All-Stars seasons, competed in Season 6 & 7, and later went on to help co-host Season 8 & 8.5. He was the main host of Season 12 and later competed in Season 13, once again was a co-host in Season 16 before finally becoming a permanent host of Bowser Party when it went into Era 2.

## Prior to the Series

Marble and I first met I believe during the Skype days, but I'm unsure when. When the series moved to Discord and Season 2 occurred, Marble was invited and ultimately accepted.

## Bowser Party

Season 2:

Marble first competed in Season 2, as a member of Team Golden Icons. Marble's game seemed to be fairly lowkey during the early parts of the game, especially during pre-merge; Likely due to his team winning as often as they did. This gave Marble an easy shot into merge, where he showed more tricks up his sleeve. In Episode 12, he and Emily took place in a tie-breaker challenge where Marble was easily able to swiftly defeat her, he and Sonically then won the following challenge, allowing him to make his first finale. Whether or not it was bitterness, or his under the radar gameplay, Marble was voted for and ultimately won the jury vote for Season 2, making him the second winner for Discord in 1st place overall.

Season 3:

Marble then returned to Season 3 as a member of Team Amazon. Like before, Marble's team managed fairly well and due to him not ending up in the bottom two there isn't much of note for pre-merge. However, Marble managed to make it to his second merge in a row, where he won the Episode 9 challenge, and later won again in Episode 12. However, in Episode 14 he was eliminated just before finale for the first time, placing him this time in 4th place.

Season 5:

It wasn't a shock to anyone that Marble was invited and returned for Season 5, as a member of the Heroic Hawks. While Marble's team did have some more struggles than usual, he still managed his team quite nicely to the point where he made it to merge once again without any threats. He managed to work alongside newcomer Astral, which allowed him to waltz his way through, while stopping to get himself another immunity win in Episode 13. While almost eliminated, he was spared by his partner, who eliminated an alt instead. And Marble was able to make a second finale, however people weren't as interested in voting him to win, thus he didn't win the jury for a second time and ended up taking 2nd place, only beating a former finalist from his winning season.

Season 6:

Marble once again made a return for Season 6, this time taking the role as captain for Team Badass Bitches. Marble's team managed extremely well under his leadership and the poor attempts by the other team, only losing twice in total for the pre-merge. However it was that second loss where Marble was taken out, likely due to his previous placements. Giving him his first time in the pre-merge in 11th place after failing to return to the game, however he still left his mark by getting others against a certain returnee.

Season 7:

Despite this drawback, Marble made a return for Season 7 as a member of Team Object Show Central. However, history seemed to repeat itself a lot earlier as once the team lost for the first time, Marble was the first member voted off. However, he didn't end up getting screwed in the rejoin as he made his return to the merge in Episode 8. Marble's stay wasn't for long however, as he was almost eliminated in Episode 10 and the first non-Roleplay Central member to be eliminated in the merge, tying alongside Adam for 7th/8th place.

Season 9:

While he was hosting the previous two seasons, Marble wound up competing again in Season 9, as a member of the Powerful Piranhas. Marble was certainly viewed as a bit of a target, being in the bottom two three times in Episode 5, 6 & 11. However, he was still able to make it to the merge once again. Marble managed to win the challenge and a sole vote in Episode 16, which he used to take out Lolzy. He also won Episode 17's challenge with Semi, and in Episode 18 as well. But it's clear he was starting to be a threat to others, and thus in Episode 19 he was voted out, leaving him in 6th place.

Season 13:

After a few seasons off from competing, Marble returned for the final time as a contestant in Season 13, being a member of The Golden Lees. I think it's around here that Marble started to die down in terms of how he played, but that's not to say he did nothing. While still bottom two in Episode 9, he put in a fair bit of effort for the team in some regard I'd imagine, especially with taking down Emily during one of the later episodes. Albeit it might've not been enough to save him just before the teams merged, however he was lucky enough to return in the following episode. Marble's game remained fairly lowkey til Episode 19, where he was nominated in the HoH twist and ultimately voted out, getting his worst placement as a whole with 13th place.

## Hosting Seasons

Marble has actually hosted a fair bit of seasons compared to most other contestants. First starting as a host in Season 8, Marble brought in a fair bit of changes to the series that ultimately pushed it from a fast game to a long-term game. Alongside being the one with the no team merge twist that lasted throughout the season. Marble hosted again in Season 8.5, albeit not to a strong degree. However, Marble did host his very own season, which was Season 12. While Marble was not the most active at times, and the season itself wasn't very popular, the season still finished and Marble had some fairly neat ideas, plus it was nice seeing someone else host for a change. While not hosting for a remainder of the series til eventually returning for Season 16, Marble was asked to become a main stay host for the second era of Bowser Party, and has done so for almost every season of that series since. Some of his ideas for twists have become solid staples for a long while, such as the Point System introduced in Season 2-3, and the Shop introduced in Season 2-5.

## Current Status and Overall Thoughts

Due to his promotion and lack of time due to IRL things, Marble has basically retired from competing on Bowser Party and to my knowledge might not return as a contestant, but who knows what the future holds.

Marble is honestly a face to Bowser Party Imo, not only as a contestant but as a host too. He played into some of the major drama in the earlier seasons, made a name for himself with his allies, rivalries and gameplays, and of course was easily one of the best co-hosts I've had in my time of hosting. Really glad that Marble was able to add a sense of iconic personality into this series.

## Other ORGs

Marble has actually competed in a few other ORGs outside of Bowser Party. While not originally a contestant, they competed with their former flame in my Amazing Race's All-Star season due to their original partner leaving. He also competed twice in the Legends franchise, competing in Season 1 where he had arguably the most unfair elimination for the series, then in Season 4.
