Extremely well designed, I was surprised by how often both teams could completely regenerate their entire board from effectively nothing

Wow, love the new concept of actually destroying and sabotaging others' weapons instead of actually destroying a core! Keep it up MIKAN

I truly enjoy the way that your channel has grown from just marble races to things like this, but I was wondering if maybe we could get a "retro-style" race, with just one color of each marble on a racing track just seeing who wins. I do kind of miss these races

Every single time I thought, "oh, well good game but now obviously, [insert color] is going to win, [insert other color] would get like 500 repairs and start to win

I am in awe of the sheer mechanical interconnectedness of this thing and how it creates complicated play patterns from a remarkably simple ruleset. The platform-lifting mechanic for acquiring marbles is cute, but the bases themselves...it's a simple "marble hits thing and triggers it" setup, but making the things also destructible and structuring the bases a certain way produces great results like Orange repairing a repair button on top of a pile of marbles to trigger MORE repairs, automatic rubberbanding, both sides having different available options from a vast array of sets...seeing a saw shot carve through the saw button on the other side was remarkably satisfying. Also gave me something of an Undertale meta-vibe with the destruction of command buttons, but baked into the system at a core level. Makes me wonder if you could build an entire battle system (and then an entire game) around something similar. EDIT: And on watching more closely the shots even destroy the marbles? There's just so much to unpack here and so many possible interactions, it's fantastic :v

I love it when the Upgrade button gets blocked when one side is fully repaired! The shotgun is very useful for fully repaired structures, the magnet is very good for huge amount of opponent's marbles, the saw is not that OP, in fact it follows a straight path in which the shotgun bullets can't do! The repairs coming in clutch especially full repairs are the most fun moments!

This is definitely one of my favorites! There was no way to predict who would win which kept tension high! I'm also impressed how long yellow lasted without the Upgrade option

Wow, this was the most back-and-forth match I've seen in a while. I like how each side is basically completely blocked by its own success, like only being able to repair when there's enough damage to go all the way to the bottom. The marble mechanics are cool, too, between the rising platforms and projectiles like the magnets that destroy them.

Here are what those section do: Shotgun: it’s just an ordinary shotgun which shoots 5 bullets Bomb: I think it’s obvious but it explodes when collide, doing area damage Saw: saw through a short distance in wall, and then stops and slowly fade out. It can also destroy marbles Magnet: shoot a magnet which attaches to the wall, attracts marbles, then explode, destroying all marbles and a little bit of terrain in its range Repair: shoot out 6(?) cubes which will replace any damaged or destroyed block (destroyed blocks are invisible for us, but those repair blocks know where they are) Upgrade: upgrade the turret by building 4 more small barrels for 10 seconds

15:22 Orange- "Call an ambulance, but not for me"" 15:30

12:55 i love how the drop synced almost perfectly with the chaos blue unleashed right then

I love how synced to the music at 4:11 orange is

Out of all the unity marble runs you've made this is one that I genuinely want to be able to run on my own PC because it seems like something that would pan out differently every time.

A pretty good crisis mode idea: damaged = repair repaired = Attack

i love the consequence that attacking the other side makes it easier for their pellets to get down

one of the more unique ideas for a 1v1 marble race, and dare i say one of the most well-executed

This is an ultra-intense and a pretty much exciting battle! Some of the attacks are pretty OP which makes it more enjoyable to watch. Always love your videos, keep going ;)

The way the shield/body of each side are the same as what determines their available actions and their likelihood in this setup is amazing. It provides alot of depth, you placed the different shot types very well (as evidenced by the very tense back-and-forth). One of the best races on the channel, probably!

So impressive. No matter how much was going on and how mental it all seemed to appear, we always knew exactly why the things were happening. The slow escalation worked incredibly well, and right up until the end nobody really had any idea who was going to win, and it felt that the result was more than who can flip a head ten times in a row first, as so many of these kinds of videos appear to be. Additionally, the fashion in which the amount of weapons fired and the fact that the weapon choosing facet was the bit that was being destroyed makes this truely original, in my eyes. 10/10

This is a race of who destroys the repair button first and I love the come backs of each site seconds before being destroyed

At the first moment I be like: whaat those basic attacks will cover the advanced attacks how do the turrets use advanced attacks? And after I see how it works, I just be amazed by how smart those contraption are, truly awesome man

I love the built in recovery mechanic so that the better one side is doing the more likely their opponents are to get a huge healing/recovery burst. If you don't take out all of their weapons and repairs pretty quickly they just bounce back because of how easy it is for a damaged base to get a bunch of marbles into a repair slot

I just love seeing the structures go from almost completely destroyed to completely rebuilt

I like how orange did one final spray of bullets as if its celebrating its victory by spraying wine everywhere

Video in a nutshell: “No health? Full health it is.” “Economy? GONE.” “ShOTGun BuLLeT hELL!!!” “Health bar, deplete!” _Rinse and repeat_

This video was insane. I didn't pay attention to how long the video was when I clicked it and every moment for the last 10 minutes was absolutely insane and clutch. The repair mechanic handicapped snowballing and kept everything so close.

Really interesting how this game combines both the "menu" of choosing which bullets to use, and the core that gets attacked. It makes it so the options your side has are both limited and opened up depending on the attacks from your enemy! 2:02 Ow Orange took a lot of damage- 3:30 Eyyy but Cyan gets it paid back in full. 7:44 Lmao Cyan and Orange destroyed each other's huge waves of marbles. 9:31 Oh shiz- yes the huge buildup of marbles protected Orange! Repairs begin!! 10:55 That huge marble spawner almost switched sides last second lol. 11:00 Uh oh- ouch. 11:24 Oh no, RIP Orange's first repair button- reaaalllly not good. 12:22 Eyyy but the second repair is opened allowing the first one to be remade! 12:50 Hah! RIP Cyan's first two repairs, just gotta cripple the third one! 13:00 Well nevermind. It was nice while it lasted... aaand Orange instantly starts feeling the heat oh dear. 14:34 Orange was doing big damage, probably would've won if it wasn't for those magnets! 15:22 Clutch repair for Orange. 15:38 AND THERE IT IS! ORANGE WINS!

Cyan & Blue: *perform 2 full repairs in the final minutes* Also C&B: *choke the match anyway because they let Orange and Yellow do whatever they wanted* At this point, I'm more humored at how Cyan and company can choke away matches now than angry. Because it's too damn predictable.

Mikan has earned its spot as my favorite marble channel on KZfaq. The unique games and challengers always bring something new to the table, and your understanding of what makes these videos “tick” is quite good. Also you don’t keep asking us to subscribe all the time. It really rubs me the wrong way when channels constantly remind you to subscribe to them.

Been with you since 35k and it has only gotten better

the fact that this battle is extremely balance between attack and defense is extremely entertaining

Pro tip for MIKAN watchers: The one that appears to be losing at first always wins. (These marble/1v1/multi-elimination simulations are the creation of MIKAN and the 'RNG' of the sim, IS REAL- BUT, it's ran multiple times until an 'underdog win' happens. Then that is what gets posted to KZfaq). The whole idea of all of these simulations/videos is for it to be completely random and be "by chance" but I've seen this exact outcome too many times to not be convinced that there is a human element of MIKAN running the sim multiple times and choosing an appealing narrative. ~ e.g. - underdog wins.

I hope almost all Unity tracks become available to play.

I have to make sure I don't see the time so I can enjoy these better. This had me on the edge of my seat holy marble! Even though my color didn't win, this was amazing to watch. Wouldn't mind seeing another one of these.

lasted longer than expected, but not in the "Please someone just die" way, more in the "How did you recover from that" way *_"'Tis but a flesh wound."_*

That was an amazing back and forth.

When they both get the upgrades and start UNLOADING, it's like a fireworks show going off

It looked like blue was going to win, THEN, orange won at the end. Very awesome video!

As others have said, good design with the equilibrium mechanism in this one. I think that the upgraded repair was a bit too powerful tho, as we saw many times just a complete repair in one swoop from near death.

13:05 and that friends, is what we call an ultimate comeback but it still lost, sadly

I really like how the damage to the tower is sometimes beneficial and repairing can hurt your effort as much as it helps sometimes

This has to be the most thrilling and exciting video you've produced so far. Keep it up!!

*SPOILER ALERT, READ WITH YOUR OWN RISK* 13:02 Orange: you’re ded Blue, casually rebuild the whole terrain: r u sure about that

It's one epic recovery after another from both sides! Who will finally take down the other colour once and for all?

inb4 Structure Destruction 2...Maybe with other grid structures (diamonds/hexagons/triangles & squares or anything that will have less balls stalling)

The number of times that outermost Repair spot came in clutch is ridiculous

From every one that I've watched there seems to be a common rule 'left always loses'

the amount of close calls and come backs in this one is incredible!

bro, the fact that some marbles got stuck inside the walls because of repair was brutal

You wouldn’t expect this to be so back-and-forth, but you’d also be wrong

the new always impresses me thanks mikan

Really nice little detail that can be seen at 6:30 is that when two suits fight an orb is it a draw or is it just not decided because it didn't reach the ceiling?

What a wonderful idea of making triggering blocks destructible and repairable. Great watch!

That's the level of creativity you need to strive for! Awesome!

There is almost no way for me to word how much I love this style of content, especially from you, Mikan.

15:30 blue: look they are losing hope hahaha orange: legends never lose hope and they will never lose it

One of the most engaging marble races yet! Keep it up Mikan!

this is a certified E video if I've ever seen one :D E tis a good thing :)

Wow, I'm impressed. Instead of slowly upgrading, you actually needed your opponents to destroy your structure to legally upgrade! Impressed, MIKAN. Definitely :) Also, saying hello from Malaysia!!

Been watching you for a long time and you never dissapoint me! Nice job, Mikan!

Jack Spero: I’m the best Algodoo Marble Race creator in the world MIKAN: Hold me

Wow this Amon fight looked pretty dang ruff for Kiryu, but he pulled through in the end. "BRING THAT S%&T KAZUMA!"

Empires have risen and fallen throught this video. And the side I was rooting for lost again. I've lost count of how many times already.

Aight. This was your best concept yet. I have yet to see how you top this one, but good lord this is wonderful

Sooo freaking intense. Watched it without looking at the time, made it even more interesting. Great job.

Holy! That's some level of escalated fights. I love it

12:00 Yellow: "idk how this will help me but RUSH THE MAGNETS!!!"

My only complaint is how easily the Upgrade chute got jammed. Otherwise, a good battle.

That orange structure in the end was strong,passive and aggressive.

12:20 that one yellow repair bloc spawning :feelsgood:

Blue's Skill: (At 13:06 And At 14:04) Last Resort: Use All Last Mikan Balls To Heal Everything That Lost

Saw: can one shot these balls also when saw move slow they disapreer :Magnet: bring these balls and explode as a bomb Repair: repair things are damaged :upgrade: build 4 small cannon bomb:explode in raidis :shotgun: it shoots 5 its a normal shot Enjoy your watch;)

Oh my god the sheer amount of balls that blue got at 13:00 was insane and it gave them a COMPLETE restoration a 100% restoration of their base And then theres 14:00 and 15:20

Chaotic and Fantastic! Hope you make more with more pixel tracks design!

I love these vids. Found ya by accident, and gave ya a sub. I love these battle ones. Its always something diffrent and unexpected. Keep it up!

Yellow kept coming back for more. That was awesome

後半のリペア量えげつなくて笑う

I watched half of your videos and this one is the best so far. Look how well made it's done, until very end I couldn't tell which side will win

This is just mesmerizing. I could literally spend an entire day watching this.

who knew you can be on the edge of ur seat for the whole thing just from marbles

MASTERPIECE

What an interesting idea, how the attacks that you can do can also be damaged by the other team!

14:48 Blue: i do not give win to you😈😈😈 15:47 Blue: oh no😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What a great fight! So many clutch comebacks!

8:21 *Blue has unlocked ultimate repairing*

Bro is not fair every time they have orange vs idk something is like “oh I look like Mikan so I get the win”is not fair😤

the magnet feels a bit too punishing, especially with the upgrade being active. maybe try nerfing or removing it in the next one?

Kinda disappointing to see a majority of saws completely miss But I really love this new concept of core destruction, I'd love to see more of it and how you'll develop it further~

12:59 Cyan got many magnets.

This one had to be the most intense by far

Unbelievably creative

This is by far one of the coolest things you built so far MIKAN

every time in these the team that has a big lead always ends up losing

I can watch this for hours tbh

That was way too chaotic I loved it

15:53 In celebration, the winner had proceeded to gun down the rest of their opponent's troops.

there's marble races, *_and then there's Marble Wars_*

Holy. Crap. That was freaking fantastic to watch! Again again!

Damn...that was so intense... Yellow lost the Upgrade button at some point, yet still regained it and won...

Nice one!!! Lots of fun, your so creative!!! It was really nice to hear Hell Cat again, its one of my favs!!! Thanks again.
