Trivia

• The Marble League record was broken twice in this event. The old record was set by Swifty of the Savage Speeders in 2017 with a time of 8.692 seconds. It was first broken by Kinnowin of the O'rangers with a time of 8.679 seconds in Heat 4, but it was broken again by Wuspy of the Midnight Wisps with a time of 8.552 seconds in semifinal A.
• A streaker from the stands managed to get onto the course and roll down the course after the heats. They were chased by security guards, were caught at the finish line and were escorted out of the stadium. They were later banned from the stadium.
• Quasar from Team Galactic took part in this event, even though his teammate Starry had won the event two years previously. This was because she suffered from a minor internal injury during Event 7, Block Pushing.
