We're happy to exclusively share a new, shiny launch trailer for Marble It Up! - the high-speed puzzle platformer from developer Bad Habit - which aims to celebrate the game's upcoming 29th September release on Switch.
If you're not familiar with this one, Marble It Up! tasks players with jumping, bouncing, boosting, and rolling their way through 40 levels of moving platforms, with icy terrain, gravity-bending surfaces, and kinetic platforming puzzles mixing things up as you play. You can use power-ups to slow time, launch yourself up into the air during play, and make use of a replay system to look back at your best efforts and learn from any mistakes.
The game comes from a team of developers with plenty of marble-based gaming experience, including members who have worked on games like Tribes I & II, Marble Blast Gold and Marble Blast Ultra. If you're interested, we've got a detailed feature list and a selection of juicy screenshots for you to marble at below. (Sorry).
FEATURES:
- Roll, bounce, and boost your way to the finish line across 40 visually striking maps!
- Runs beautifully in both docked and handheld modes at 60fps
- Unlock majestic marble skins!
- Race against your best times in Ghost Mode!
- Watch replays from the online Leaderboards (and learn from the best!)
- Use exciting power-ups to slow time, launch into the air, and glide your way to glory!
- FEEL the course with HD rumble support.
- Test your skills and smarts in an incredibly varied set of kinetic platforming puzzles!
As mentioned above, the game arrives on Nintendo's platform on 29th September (this Saturday) with a price tag of $19.99.
Will you be giving this one a go when it launches later this week? Let us know with a comment or two below.

This makes me want a Super Monkey Ball Switch.
@JHDK I was thinking exactly the same thing
@JHDK
I prefer the silence of a marble compared to the chirping and screeching of a monkey
The devs have also stated they are planning more features like multiplayer for the game after launch. This game is going to be awesome!
Loved these kind of games when I was a kid! Anyone here that also remembers Hamster Ball? Will definitely give this a download in the future, it looks great!
Am I the only one old enough to be getting Marble Madness nostalgia?
I can't wait! I loved Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360, so I'm really excited for this one.
This one is a must have for me, I can see it'll be everything I've wanted from Marble Blast Ultra's successor. It looks like the gameplay is intact with stage design emphasizing going quickly and exploration like before, but even better and more colourful visual design.
I hope this game gets a short demo.
I am STOKED for this. It's a game I never thought I would want, until I saw some random video talking about it, I completely lost it. MARBLE BLAST IS BACK!
@JHDK I hope for that, too. Maybe SEGA should have these guys make it.
@Lynox Hamster Ball
Thanks, I couldn't remember what it was called but that is the PS3 game I was thinking. It was a fun single player game of this type, my kids played a lot of multiplayer. For $9.99. For $19.99 this should include Balance Board support like Super Monkey Ball.
Hamster Ball (which I can re-downloand now to both my PS3)
Super Monkey Ball:Step and Roll
The graphics are a mix between Marble Blast Gold (because it's cartoony) and Marble Blast Ultra (because of the shining effects and lighting). Anyone agree with me?
It looks cool, but I have no experience with this type of game.
This is just super monkey ball without a monkey for 20$... But we have no monkey ball on switch so this is a good replacement.
Interested I am
@kirbygirl loved it in arcade 85 I think it came out
Likewise, games that exactly came to mind: Super Monkey Ball, Marble Maddness. I don't know if anyone played that arcade game Cameltry

Weird you can jump, but if this is the closest we get to a Marble Madness/Monkey Ball sequel on Switch, I'll take it!
LOVE IT!
I cannot wait for this!! Marble madness, Super Monkey Ball and Kororinpa live in my heart.
Wait, so it isnt just a fan successor kind of thing? There ARE former Marble Blast devs working on this? Now I'm even more sold!
@kirbygirl hell yeah!!!!!!! I totally want this game bc of that.
Thanks! This trailer came as a pleasant surprise.
This looks great! I've never played the Marble Blast games but I have played Super Monkey Ball and Marble Madness. Any word on a demo?
I want this. The one thing I would wait on the reviews for is how well the HD rumble feels.
