Chronology
Previous	Marbula One Season 1
Next	Marbula One Season 3

Marbula One Season 2 was the second season of Marbula One.

The Savage Speeders were the defending team champions, while Speedy from the Savage Speeders was the defending individual champion.

Changes in Season 2

• Expansion of participation slots from 16 teams to 20.
  • Two teams leaving the series: Rojo Rollers and Hornets.
  • Six teams new to the series: Crazy Cat's Eyes, Minty Maniacs, Kobalts, Bumblebees, Jungle Jumpers and Oceanics.
• Extension of the season from 8 races to 12.
• Removal of all pit lanes.
• A new race qualifying system has been introduced, with a total of three rounds of qualifying. The format for season 2 is:
  • ROUND 1: All 20 marbles get one flying lap to set a time. The four slowest marbles are eliminated, and do not qualify for the race, while marbles placed 9th to 16th take those respective grid positions for the race.
  • ROUND 2: The top 8 marbles from the previous round participate in a two-lap race-off, with grid positions being determined from the results of Round 1. After the race-off concludes, marbles finishing 5th to 8th take those respective grid positions for the race (last to finish starts in 8th, 5th to finish starts in 5th).
  • ROUND 3: The top 4 marbles from the previous round participate in a two-lap race-off, with grid positions being determined from the results of Round 2. After the race-off concludes, all marbles take their respective grid positions for the race according to their finishing position in this race-off (last to finish starts in 4th, 1st to finish starts from pole position).
• The scoring system has been updated. The top 12 finishers of the main race event score points for both individual and team championships, and the marble that starts on pole position also scores a bonus point. The bonus point for fastest lap is retained from the previous season.

Trivia

• This was the first season where 'Blue Flags' were shown. Race 7 at the Rainforest GP hosted by the Jungle Jumper's, a blue flag was flagged in Lap 10, when Razzy (who was a lap down) was not making way for Red Eye to overtake. This incident happened again two laps later, but this time, Razzy was not making way for Speedy in that instance. In Race 9 at Palette Park (hosted by Team Primary), a blue flag was shown in Lap 22 against Limelime (who was one lap behind everyone else), was not making way for Wospy to overtake Limelime.
• This was the first time where an individual and a team could earn extra poinst in qualifying by gaining pole position in Q3.
• The most controversial race was Race 10 at Misty Mountain GP, where for the first time in M1 history, two racers were forced to retire (Bumble and Clutter). This was due to both marbles being stranded in Turn 6, as there were three failed attempts from the safety marble to rescue the stranded marbles. Also, Clementin was unable to finish that exact race, after being stuck at Turn 6 on the last lap. This was controversial as viewers were stating that the Red Flag should have been waved earlier to cause less advantages to the other racers, as well as Clutter who was stuck in the safety marble lane.
• A record of 13 flags were raised; 8 Yellow Flags, 2 Red Flags and 3 Blue Flags
• Red Eye was the only driver to score over 100 points in Season 2, scoring 105 points
• Savage Speeders is the only team to finish in the Top 3 'Team Championship Standings', with Speedy being the only marble to be in the Top 3 'Individual Championship Standings'.
