"This is shooting BFDI Mini-Season - "Marbles" off like, a cliff, with my Not Cannon!" — Match, "HELP US get to VIDCON 2019" (altered)
The subject of this article or section is non-canon. The events described did not happen in the official BFDI universe.
BFDI Mini-Season - "Marbles" is a video by carykh uploaded on May 8, 2012—between the time "Return of the Hang Glider" and "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know" aired. The video is based around carykh's "The Amazing Marble Race" style of videos. Marbles drawn to represent the first season's 21 characters are put through a gauntlet of multiple obstacles. Every trial ends with a limited number of spots, with the balls failing to reach safety before the others getting eliminated.
The marble race has 5 different phases, with each one eliminating contestants or deciding the winner. The first phase eliminates six contestants, the second eliminates five, the third eliminates four, the fourth eliminates three, and the fifth is used to decide the winner from the remaining three contestants.
Pin placed 17th here, identical to her placement in BFDI.
However, this is not counting rejoins. With rejoins, she places 20th in BFDI.
A similar ranking applies to Woody and Rocky, who placed 21st and 6th respectively, similar to their final BFDI rankings.
Teardrop would've made it to Leg 4, but Needle got chucked over her and landed in front of Teardrop, making it so Teardrop was out instead of Needle.
The program used to create the marble race was with Algodoo.
Before this was uploaded by Cary, in the original marble race he made, he had to fix the legs many times due to the marbles glitching out and breaking the entire marble race, or causing a move that gets them stuck, not being able to progress further. (As seen in the bloopers part of the original marble race video.
