Continuation of this post: Interesting facts about Event 3 of ML26 and Event 1 of MLS26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

This time, I got ts out alot earlier than last time. Hope you like it.

Event 4
Indigo Stars’ 71 pts in the first 4 events ranks as the 6th best quarter and 3rd best 1st quarter in ML history. The only other quarters to have more pts than them are the ML21 Mellow Yellow, Q3(73pts), ML20 Minty Maniacs, Q1(75pts), ML25 Kobalts, Q4(76pts), ML20 O’rangers, Q1(76pts) and ML20 Savage Speeders, Q3(77pts). [For clarification, Q1 refers to E1-4, Q2 is E5-8, Q3 is E9-12 and Q4 is E13-16]

Savage Speeders’ 19pts in the 1st quarter is the 2nd fewest points they’ve scored in a single quarter across their career. The only one to beat it is their 2nd quarter in ML19 where they scored just 16pts.

With Indigo Stars leading after both Event 2 and 4, they now have a total of 3 events where they lead in the standings. They have led more events than the Balls of Chaos, Snowballs and Team Primary. They’ve led as many events as the Hazers have.

With Snowballs and Team Plasma getting a bottom half finish and Black Jacks getting a top half finish, every team so far has had at least 1 top half and 1 bottom half finish. It is the fastest it has ever happened since ML16 when each team had a top and bottom half finish in the first 3 events.

The Solar Flares, Indigo Stars and Snowballs have all remained in the top 3 of the standings after the first 4 events. That ties with ML25 as the longest streak, from the first event onward, in which the teams on the podium in event 1 have remained in the top 3 in th standings. 

Green Ducks have placed 15th in the standings after an event for the first time in their history. As well, Oceanics have placed 8th in the standings after an event for the first time too. That makes the Green Ducks the 13th team to have been in every overall position in the standings after an event. Oceanics just have to place 12th after an event and they’ll be the 14th team to do so.

Indigo Stars 2 gold medals in a 3 event period is the 9th time where a team has gotten 2 non-consecutive gold medals in 3 events. The others are ML25 Kobalts, E14-16, ML24 Solar Flares E8-10, ML24 Jungle Jumpers, E2-4, ML23 Bumblebees, E4-6, ML20 O’rangers, E2-4, ML20 Minty Maniacs, E1-3, ML19 Midnight Wisps, E7-9 and ML16 Savage Speeders, E6-8.

As well, Indigo Star’s 3 medals in the first 4 events ties for the most medals for a team in the first 4 events. They tie with ML25 Midnight Wisps, ML23 Savage Speeders, ML22 Pinkies, ML21 Raspberry Racers, ML20 O’rangers and ML20 Minty Maniacs. All of them would appear on the podium except for the ML25 Midnight Wisps.

Solar Flares have finished 9th in this event meaning that every single active team that have been in a ML rn have gotten 9th in an event before. I specify active cause the Hornets have never gotten 9th in a ML event before.

The top 4 teams in event 3, Hazers, Snowballs, Raspberry Racers and Savage Speeders, all got bottom 4 in this event. It is the first ever time that has happened in a ML tournament. The closest it had ever gotten before, from what I’ve found, is from E7 to E8 in ML16 when Rojo Rollers, Team Primary, Team Momo and Team Galactic who were 1st-4th in E7, finished 13th, 14th, 16th and 12th respectively in E8.

(Sorry that I couldn't get this out earlier, I was sick past few days and didn't have time to post. Anyway, hope you like it.)

Event 3 fun facts
Snowballs’ avg finish in the first 3 events is 3, which ties them with ML19 Savage Speeders for the 5th best avg finish start in the first 3 events. The other 4 are ML23 CCE, 2.67, ML19 Hazers, 2.67, ML18 Balls of Chaos, 2.33 and ML20 Minty Maniacs with 1.67. 

With Kobalts getting 11th place both times in Event 2 and 3, they get their first consecutive ML events where they’ve gotten the same position. Only the Jungle Jumpers and Hornets have never done it.

With Raspberry Racers placing 8th in the standings after the event, they’ve kept their streak since ML22 of placing 8th in the standings at least once after an event. They’ve done it all of their MLs except 2019 and 2021, Which just so happens to be the 2 MLs where they ended up on the podium

Solar Flares also placed 3rd in the standings after an event for the first time meaning that they’ve placed in 3 different positions in the standings for the first time ever in 3 consecutive events. 1st in Event 1, 2nd in Event 2 and 3rd in Event 3.

The Solar Flares, Indigo Stars and Snowballs have all remained on the podium after the first 3 events. This is only the 2nd time it has ever happened, with the other being ML25.

With Savage Speeders, Hazers and Raspberry Racers all getting top half finishes in this event, that leaves the Black Jacks as the only team to have gotten bottom half finishes in all 3 events. As well, with Solar Flares and Indigo Stars getting bottom half finishes, that leaves Snowballs and Team Plasma as the remaining teams without a bottom half finish.

With Snowballs leading after the event, it is the 4th time in history that 3 diff teams lead in the first 3 events. The others are ML16, ML18 and ML21.

With Hazers winning gold in this event, they’ve now gotten a gold in all 6 ML appearances

With Indigo Stars and Snowballs getting 46 and 47pts after Event 3 respectively, it is the first time that those 2 point totals have ever been achieved over the first 3 events.

All 16 teams got 12pts or higher after the first 3 events for the first time since ML21.

With Indigo Stars getting 15th place, that leaves Team Plasma as the only team left who has yet to get 15th in a ML event. Every active and retired team who have been in a ML have done it already.

MLS26
Event 1 fun facts(Not much unfortunately)
With Jawbreakers winning a medal in the first event of the showdown, that ended their almost 7-year long drought of getting a medal in ML, MLS or M1. Their last medal funnily enough would be all the way back in August, 2019 in MLS19 Event 1.

With Team Primary getting a bottom half finish, they’ve continued their streak since MLS23 of a bottom half finish in the first event of each MLS

Team Galactic also has gotten a medal in the first event of every MLS they’ve appeared in. Sure they’ve only been in 2 MLS, the other MLS21, but still note-worthy.

With Rojo Rollers, Team Galactic and Jawbreakers all getting a medal, they've now become the 2nd, 3rd and 4th team to win 2 medals in the first event of a MLS, the 1st being Indigo Stars. Jawbreakers first medal, Gold, was in MLS19, Rojo Rollers' one, Bronze, was in MLS20 and Team Galactic's one, Gold, was in MLS21.

With the Thunderbolts getting last place in MLS26 Event 1, Thunderbolts and Minty Maniacs are the only teams to finish last place at least 3 times in ML, MLS and M1 each.

Continuation of this post: Some Interesting facts about the Qualifiers and Event 1 of ML26 : r/JellesMarbleRuns

Fun facts:

Indigo stars are the first ever team to win a silver and a gold in the first 2 events of a ML and thus the first team to score 45pts in the first two events. 3 teams have scored back-to-back golds in the first 2 events before a silver and gold.

That also leaves only 33pts, 34pts and 37pts to never have been accomplished in the first 2 events. All of those require at least a gold medal and a 8th, 7th and 4th place respectively

With Indigo Stars and Solar Flares leading an event so far, ML26 is the first ML since ML21 to have 2 diff teams leading in the first 2 events. ML21 also had the Indigo Stars leading, that time in event 1, but they ended up in 13th.

Indigo Stars also are the 26th unique team to lead in the standings after an event. Thus, Indigo Stars and Solar Flares have led more events than the Limers, Shining swarm and Gliding Glaciers combined. Those 3 teams have a combined 13 ML appearances.

Every single team has scored at least 6pts or more over the first 2 events, the 2nd time it has ever happened, the other being ML18.

Savage Speeders for the first time in their ML history has placed 15th in the standings after an event. They’ve been in 14th and 16th place before back in 2020 but never exactly landed in 15th before. With that done, they’ve now been in every overall position in the standings after an event, becoming the 12th team to do so.

Indigo Stars' gold medal is their first in ML since ML21 Event 1, back in July of 2021. Before that, they were one of 5 active teams to not win a single gold medal in ML from 2022 to now. That leaves the Gliding Glaciers, Minty Maniacs, Thunderbolts and Jawbreakers(Only counting them cause they un-retired) as the remaining teams of that group.

Their gold medal is also their first in ML, MLS or M1 since MLS23 Event of December 2023. There are now 7 active teams remaining who haven’t won a gold medal in any of those 3 tournaments from 2024 to now. Those are the Bumblebees, Gliding Glaciers, Minty Maniacs, Purple Rockets, Team Primary, Thunderbolts and Jawbreakers.(Technically the Purple Rockets aren’t active but I chose to include them here, also included Jawbreakers for same reason above)

Whizzy got last in the event marking the 3rd time they’ve finished dead last in a ML individual event. This wouldn’t be notable if it wasn’t for the fact that Mellow Yellow finished on the podium in all of those 3 events. 2019 5 Meter Sprint, 2020 High Jump and 2026 Shorttrack. Whizzy got dead last in all while Mellow Yellow got a Gold, Bronze and now a Silver respectively.

With Indigo Stars winning 2 medals in the first 2 events, they become the 10th team to win 2 medals in the first 2 events. Those others are the ML18 Hazers, ML19 Savage Speeders, ML20 Minty Maniacs, ML21 Raspberry Racers, ML22 Team Galactic, ML23 Crazy Cat’s Eyes, ML24 Green Ducks, ML25 O’rangers and ML25 Oceanics. The average final position of those 9 teams are between 3rd and 4th with the lowest being 6th so high chance Indigo Stars get on the podium as 5 of the other teams did.

Every single team on the podium in the first event all finished in the top 5 the next event for the 4th time in ML history. The other times were:

ML22 E15-16(Team Primary 1st->4th, Team Galactic 2nd->5th, Green Ducks 3rd->1st)

ML20 E9-10(Oceanics 1st->2nd, Hazers 2nd->5th, Minty Maniacs 3rd->1st)

ML20 14-15(Midnight Wisps 1st->5th, Savage Speeders 2nd->1st, Hazers 3rd->4th)

(That took me like 45 mins to comb through to find it)

Hope you like this post!

Qualifiers fun facts:
With Limers failing to qualify this year, every single team from 2020-2025 that was in 16th place in ML, has failed to qualify for the next one afterwards

After Black Jacks and Bumblebees both qualified for ML26, there have each been only 2 out of 11 teams who placed 9th or 10th in ML before failing to qualify for the next ML. 2016 Kobalts and 2024 Wolfpack for 9th place and 2020 Oceanics and 2023 O’rangers for 10th place

Also Black Jacks and Bumblebees in the qualifiers ended up getting both a silver and gold medal each as well as finishing 3rd in their group with 33pts

With the Solar Flares qualifying for ML, every single team who placed 10th in MLS from 2021 to 2025 have managed to qualify for the ML after their MLS appearance. 2021 Balls of Chaos, 2022 Snowballs, 2023 Hazers, 2024 O’rangers and now 2025 Solar Flares

Event 1 fun facts:
Black Jacks get their first 16th place ever meaning that every team who has ever been in a ML tournament has gotten 16th except for the Jawbreakers, who just recently un-retired and thus if they qualify for next year ML, if they live till then, could make it so that the 16th place becomes the second position that every ML team has gotten alongside 6th place

Kobalts also get their first ever 8th place in a ML tournament

Black Jacks 16th place also means that every single team has gotten a bottom half finish in the first event of a ML or MLS tournament. Plus, the Wolfpack remain the only team to not yet get a bottom half finish in the first event of a ML tournament after Black Jack's 16th and Bumblebee’s 10th place.

Also, Hazers, Midnight Wisps and Team Plasma are the last active teams to not gotten a bottom 3 finish in the first event of a ML, MLS or M1 tournament

With Solar Flares and Team Plasma getting top half finishes, the Limers and Jungle Jumpers are the only remaining active teams to not yet get a top half finish in the first event of a ML tournament. Reminder that Limers and Jungle Jumpers have a combined 8 ML appearances to Flares and Plasma combined 4.

Solar Flares gold medal in the first event leaves the Gliding Glaciers, Thunderbolts and Wolfpack as the remaining active teams to not yet gotten a podium in the first event of a ML, MLS or M1 tournament

Solar Flares become the 25th team to have led in an event and thus removes them from the list of active teams to have never led in ML, MLS or M1. The remaining teams in that unique group are the Limers, Gliding Glaciers and Wolfpack. They each have 196, 92 and 56 combined ML, MLS and M1 events respectively.

Crazy Cat’s Eyes for the first time in their history finally competes against the Kobalts in ML.

Oceanics also compete against the Indigo Stars, Solar Flares and Team Plasma in a ML tournament before they ever competed with the Gliding Glaciers in ML.

Indigo Stars’ silver medal breaks the longest active medal drought in ML as they had not won a medal since ML21 Event 11 back in August of 2021. Now, every team has won a medal from ML22 and onwards. Minty Maniacs now hold the record for longest active medal drought in ML as they haven’t won one since November 2022 in ML22 Event 11

Solar Flare’s gold medal is their first ever medal in not only ML but in MLS and M1 too since April 2024 in ML23 Event 10. The Solar Flares, Thunderbolts and Jungle Jumpers were the only teams to not win a medal in any of those 3 tournaments from 2025 and onwards. That just leaves the Jumpers who haven’t won since December, 2024 in ML24 Event 16 and Thunderbolts who haven’t won since November, 2023, ML23 Event 14. Bolts hold the record for longest active medal drought in all 3 main tournaments.

Snowballs bronze medal now means that they have at least 5 gold, silver and bronze medals each. They are the 10th team to accomplish that.

Solar Flares gold medal is the 3rd one they've gotten in ML and thus they have more gold medals than the Limers, Gliding Glaciers, Bumblebees and Thunderbolts.

This could become a series if ts becomes popular enough
