Event[]
The official Collision pictogram for Marble League 2020, designed by the JMRC.
In Collision, the 16 competing teams are divided into four groups of four. A match consists of all 5 marbles from 2 teams rolling into a center area and colliding with each other, attempting to keep as many of their marbles on the playing field as possible. Each team earns a point for each marble they keep in the arena. In the group stage, 3 points are awarded for a victory, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a defeat. After the group stage, the top 2 teams from each group advance to a knockout stage to determine the winner.

Trivia[]
- After the event, $5,000 was donated to the Weld Food Bank in the name of the Savage Speeders, the gold medalists in the event.
- This event marked the end of Thunderbolts' medal drought, ending on par with the Oceanics' 27.
- This event also eliminated the Minty Maniacs as title contenders, thereby confirming that Marble League 2020 will be the first time the champions have been crowned before.
- There were two production errors in this episode. The results table showed that Mellow Yellow got five points in the group stages when they got four. The table also showed Mellow Yellow as coming 7th when they came 8th (the points were inline with coming 8th).
- In 2019 Collision, the O'rangers got first while the Savage Speeders got last, and this year the Savage Speeders got first and the O'rangers got last.
- This event also marks the first time that the O'rangers finished last in a Marble League event not including DNFs.
- After this event, the Savage Speeders are at the top of the leaderboard. They became the first team to lead the championship at one point in every season, also being the first team to get both 1st place and 16th place in the overall leaderboard in one season.
- As they can only be dethroned by two teams, the Savage Speeders have automatically qualified for Marble League 2021.
- In heat 1 of 6 of Group C bettween the Minty Maniacs and the Raspberry Racers, a Minty Maniac hit a referee, causing a false start.
