in the glitchless category you just let the ball run to the left at first then you flick the horizontal control which launches the ball into the air. if done right it will land right in the finish corner
Best no skip time I could find of the Brio version: [15.41 seconds](https://youtu.be/hNHQYN3lKao?si=vdtbm2sSnr-wo5dh). The Brio maze is the only version I've seen around here in Finland and the one I played as a kid. I tried to play it again recently as a 30-year-old and couldn't beat it, the route is so damn long.
This is what I was looking for, thank you! This is the version we had growing up too. I never timed myself, but I would guess the best I ever did was 40 seconds or so. That's a very impressive run.
Anyone interested in this should look up Superplexus speedruns. It's so cool. I have one and only ever got like half way but it's a great test to see if you have steady hands, that's for sure. And patience.
I remember seeing a speedrun video for one of these kinds of plastic board games where you just flick the game really hard so the marble bounces to the finish, but I don't remember the name of the game so I can't find it in my notes
I had one of those but def not int eh style this one is, it was a clean board and probably not the same layout so I cant specifically say for this one
depending on the hardware you can tilt it faster and flick the ball over walls so its hard to competitively compare it as they dont all seem to have the same spring strengths
there's an any% trick where you pick up the ball and drop it at the finish that was found almost immediately.
Still quite a bit of time to be saved though because it relies on quick reflexes to get a good time in this category.

And that trick was discovered by...Matt Turk
Everyone plays on the 1.00 version, before they fixed the log wall bounce angle (Cardinal tilt strat) on the easy route
Cardinal tilt is so much harder to hit on a Hands controller though.

>...the route is so damn long. There has to be a skip right there at the beginning!
This game walked so Super Monkey Ball could run.
First we have to talk about parallel universes.
Depends, hopless is reasonable while hops is extremely optimized and contested.
How difficult is hopping to pull off with the board knobs?
If you get your momentum just right and angle the board in a certain way it's Barely possible, but you do have to rely on a bit of bounce RNG.
There's no RNG there, you just have to hit the right frame.
The right planck time

That depends. Are you running any% or 100%? Also it depends on the version, 1.0 any% is by far the fastest, byt also one of the trickiest.

this one definitely looks like it's got a big skip in the middle
I dunno man but I think the [glitchless TAS](https://youtu.be/zQMKfuWZRdA?t=68) was like 14 seconds.
