    You better believe if I had the money that I would absolutely buy a bunch of marbles and this thing that was a bunch of plastic pieces you’d connect together just so you could send your marbles down the track.

    Still have yet to drop the cartoon/animation watching hobby, so kid me would absolutely be proud. Though I’m sure kid me would absolutely be confused about the whole dressing up as cartoon animal ( wearing a fursuit head ) thing, but at least my teen self ( 15 up ) would die of jealousy over it.

      Marble racing is one of the things that got me through COVID.

      Have you ever seen Jelle’s Marble Races on YouTube? The sand tracks are literally what I did as a kid.

        For some reason those marble racing videos don’t hit that itch for me the same way the plastic marble run things or watching a super well built track in this Marble World game play out does.

        It wasn’t lego, which I also had. It was something like this marble run thing I saw when I looked it up.

        Here’s a picture of a more modern looking version of what I had. Hope it loads properly:
