Marbula One Season 3 was the third season of Marbula One.
The Crazy Cat's Eyes were the defending team champions, while Red Eye from the Crazy Cat's Eyes was the defending individual champion.
Changes in Season 3[]
- Five teams leaving the series: Snowballs, Raspberry Racers, Oceanics, Limers, and Jungle Jumpers.
- Five teams new to the series: Gliding Glaciers, Shining Swarm, Chocolatiers, Pinkies, and Turtle Sliders.
- The starting gate has been modified to fit 20 marbles in 10 rows, instead of 16 marbles in 8 rows. A releasing mechanism for the qualifiers round to release the marbles one by one using a lever system has also been constructed within the safety marble's lane.
- The qualifying system underwent a second change, notably accommodating the removal of teams failing to qualify for a Grand Prix.
- ROUND 1: All 20 marbles get one flying lap to set a time. The 10 slowest marbles are eliminated from qualifying, and take those respective grid positions for the race (slowest time starts in P20, fastest time of all eliminated marbles starts in P11).
- ROUND 2: The top 10 marbles from the previous round participate in a 3-lap race-off, with grid positions being determined from the results of Round 1. 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 10th, 1st to finish starts from pole position).
- Removal of the marble polishing system (Roll'n'Go).
- Each track will have at least one specially themed track portion, including but not limited to banked turns, speed ramps, or sand sections.
- The scoring system has been updated. The top 15 finishers of the main race event score points for both individual and team championships, and the 3 highest-ranked marbles in the Qualifiers for a Grand Prix score bonus points. The bonus point for fastest lap is retained from the previous seasons.
