Kry Pack 1&2

Kry Pack 1 and 2 are ones of the most famous user made campaigns in the game. They share a history of some controversies and the overall contribution to Marble Race itself. They're the most played content just behind Colors (the official marble race campaign) and maybe some other most popular **MISC** workshop levels. Both campaigns, packs, have been made by a user: Kry, as the names of the packs are named, "KRY Pack". The word "Pack" defines the meaning of all levels packed in one with unlockable arenas AND more extra content, thus being the first ever workshop items to have unlockable SANDBOXES.

## ***KRY PACK***

The very first version of the pack was officially released in november 2019 (released in summer 2019 in the Marble Race discord server), with only 13 insanely difficult levels. The beginning of Kry Pack was simple, with levels that were instantly easy to sightread even by an average android player. Things get harder from the 6th level (Slide Race), in which there is an assumed annoying upward triple spiral before the goal. The 7th level is where most of android players quit playing the pack, and many never came back to it, leading to negative reviews for the game. Even without the time limit, the custom item was considered to be significantly harder than Colors even on mobile devices, Factory Race was a pure example of that. The pack has arenas and sandboxes to unlock.

### **TRIVIA:**

- The campaign got updated in mid 2020.

- 3 new levels were made, Frost Race (14th level), Space Race (16th Level) and the latest, Windy Race (6th level before Slide Race).

- Ultimate Race was a buffed and a red/crimson version of **Green Dreams**, a level the creator of the pack himself has made.

- Any updated version of Kry Pack were never officially released by the creator, but an updated version can be found in the main developer of the game's workshop items called "Kry Pack test".

- Levels got new pleasant details with fixed checker texture issues reffered as "tortures".

- Many races got massive nerfs, making it easier for players, this also goes for mobile.

- The newest lost version of Kry Pack with Windy Race was NEVER released anywhere and isn't avaiable for the public.

- The oldest name of the pack was "Kry's Pack" renamed to "Kry Pack" and then to "Kry Pack 1"

- The first level was remade.

- The newer version of the pack has NEW music except Ultimate Race.

- The 2 levels, Windy Race and Space Race were released separately to the workshop, although they're outdated.

- New versions of Kry Pack have "HamsterBall shading"

- Being played even today.

- Level 11 (12 in the fresh version), was inspired by a non-released TV mini game, belonging to **HUGO THE TROLL** series. The mini game itself is called ***HUGO THE EVIL MIRROR*** (TV VERSION). It is a tribute to the creator of the pack's childhood memory.

- Many elements from the pack were used by other users, elements like GEARS from the 11th level (12th), were being published to the workshop by other creators. It is likely that some elements from Kry Pack 1 are being stolen by many other creators.

- Kry **PACK** was possibly the campaign that started the whole naming of campaigns after "PACKS". However, this is not 100% sure since the first ever campaign to get named after a "PACK" was **MARECUBE PACK**.

- Many creators were inspired by the campaign, creating similar gameplay and mechanics.

**CONTROVERSY**

- Extreme difficulty leading to negative reviews of Marble Race.

- Players complaining about the pack being irritating and unplayable.

- Fear of releasing the new Kry Pack 1 due to music being cut out just for file size, possibly breaking the copyright law. Because of that, the new Kry Pack 1 was never officially released.

- The creator of the campaign himself said that the item was a FAILURE.

- Many called the campaign or maybe the game itself a HamsterBall "ripoff". Comments like those were assumed to be annoying and demotivating for the creators.

## ***KRY PACK 2***

In early 2021, the sequel of Kry Pack 1 was released into the public, making it into the FEATURED workshop items almost instantly. The pack itself just like the previous pack, has unlockable arenas and sandboxes (reffered as custom menus for PC players). Kry Pack 2 has 15 levels, 15 arenas and 15 sanboxes, together 45 items. This pack is a major improvement from the last failed Kry Pack, better gameplay, less glitches and much more pleasing visuals with also better music. It is meant to be a BTL movement targeted specifically towards HamsterBall fans, as the user made item has blocky, alive and assumed hazardous design with cheesy curves. This pack has been received very positively by players, it was even chosen to be played first by some before even playing Colors.

**LEVELS:**

1. Setup Race - PURPLE
2. Stable Race - YELLOW
3. Medium Race - ORANGE
4. Blocko Race - GREEN
5. Steep Race - BLUE
6. Valley Race - BROWN
7. Professional Race - RED
8. Rocking Race - YELLOW
9. Balance Race - PINK
10. Packed Race - BLUE
11. Gravitacular Race - ORANGE
12. Danger Race - PURPLE
13. Bizarre Race - GREEN

### **TRIVIA:**

- The pack got really popular to the point when some started buying the game to play the pack without even trying Colors first.

- Due to being FEATURED for months, it's PROBABLY the most played custom campaign in the entire game.

- 8 Overall updates of the campaign.

- Reduced fog and increased shading.

- Express Race is unplayable on realistic handling.

- Custom made enemies: sliders and the cane.

- Used scripts (VISUAL SCRIPTING).

- Having its own **TRELLO** roadmap.

- User made campaign "Race Series 1" being a motivation to a quick finish of Kry Pack 2.

- Sandbox unlock areas inspired by Braycoe's Marble Racing.

- Negative reviews of Marble Race have been SLIGHTLY reducing since the release of Kry Pack 2.

- It's one of the most recorded workshop items on social medias like YouTube.

- Some glitches were not fixed ***INTENTIONALLY***, The creator of the pack thinks that giving the player a feeling of an "open world" environment is a great way to execute the level's atmosphere. Such glitches, like being able to survive a fall into an area that shouldn't be accessible is "fun exploring" in his eyes. This glitch is very noticable in **Blocko Race**.
