[edit] Xbox vs. Xbox 360 Version

There is an Xbox version of Marble Blast Gold, which is graphically enhanced from its PC version. Marble Blast Ultra, which is on the Xbox 360, is different. Mipchunk 19:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing this page

Please don't fill this page with extraneous information that belong in external links. Information about specific levels, specific Marble Blast players, etc should be left out. Right now I have left in the links to video recordings, because I'm not sure about those. Any comments?Mipchunk 04:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Sceptus, it WAS there because community members AGREED to put it there and because we WANTED it to. Don't move the video links as they're still required. BTW this account is available to several MBG members for use.

Which community members? You can post video links for MBG to your heart's content over at the Marble Blast forums. However, this is Wikipedia; encyclopedia articles should not be cluttered with tons of links to videos and other non-official links that are less about information and more for the players themselves. If you read the official Wikipedia "help" guidelines, you will see that articles should not refer to excessive amounts of external links, especially when they are not entirely important to the information about the game. One video is enough, in order to demonstrate how the game looks and works. One hundred videos, each demonstrating the best-possible method to complete each of the one hundred levels, is not acceptable.Mipchunk 00:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Technostick and Bobby for example. There were others but we didn't chat on forums while agreeing on it. Anyway, if you say one video link, then ok. Meanwhile, the links in there are to users that upload videos that show levels in marble blast. As such I think it's fine, right? Anyway, I do have some stuff to ask/say: 1. There were tons of updates in several levels [I haven't updated the boards, yet]. 2. I thought you were at camp, right? How'd you get internet access? 3. When will you come back? 4. We miss you!

Well, actually it's not fine. It's still link clutter. Here's what I would suggest: Create a thread compiling all the video links for Marble Blast videos in the GarageGames forums. Then I will create an external link from this Wikipedia article to that thread.

[edit] Video Recordings

Please compile all the video links into a single page that can be placed in the external links section.Mipchunk 03:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leveling Building Section

This section is akin to a guide, and thus should be placed as an external link, since game guides are not proper in an article, in accordance with WP policy. Mipchunk 01:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
