Mellow Yellow are a solid-yellow Marble League team that is currently represented by Yellow, Yellup, Yellah, Yellim and Yeller. They are currently one of only three teams to have appeared in all eight Marble League editions as of 2023.

Regarded as one of the best teams in the Marble League, Mellow Yellow hails from the city of Amalanta, with its team members moving to the city of Marblopolis, before competing in the Fruit Circuit prior to entry into Marble League 2016. They would finish 2nd that year. Since then, they would have polarizing performances over the next few years, with finishes in 3rd, 15th, 4th and 14th. Due to their poor showings in Marbula One and their poor performance during Marble League 2018 and in Marble League 2020, they were not invited to the Marble League Winter Special. They would clinch the Marble League title in 2021 after winning three consecutive medals mid-season and a bronze in the final event. In Marble League 2022, they had a down year and finished 13th with two medals. In Marble League 2023, they had their first "mid" performance and placed 11th with two medals. Overall, Mellow Yellow has won 24 medals in the Marble League as of the end of Marble League 2023.

Mellow Yellow is also known for being the first team to clinch back-to-back poles in Marbula One despite their poor performances in both seasons, having finished 10th and 15th in Season 1 and Season 2 respectively. They have won two bronze medals in this competition.

Team Members[]

Yellow, Yellah, Yelley and Yellup were the original members of Mellow Yellow. Yellim was introduced to the team in 2018. Yellow became team captain in 2019. On 14 October 2022, Yelley announced their retirement from marble sports. As a result, Yellim got promoted to a regular member, and Yeller joined the team as the new reserve.

History[]

Pre-Marble League[]

Mellow Yellow come from the city of Amalanta. The four original members of the team - Yellow, Yellah, Yelley, and Yellup - first met while working for The Non-Descript Soda Company within the city's metropolitan area. They had all been working for the company for about ten years and finally met each other taste-testing the Non-Descript Yellow Soda. After spending a long night in meetings, drinking a lot of soda, the four all realized they were miserable at their jobs, and decided to quit.

Afterwards, the four left Amalanta and moved to Marblopolis, a city west of Amalanta, renowned for its high-speed marble racing (and its lower taxes). They all spent time looking for new jobs, struggling to make ends meet. This led to a lot of worry and doubt about their decision, although the excitement of the city and the enjoyment of the races kept the team going.

After about eight months, the four were getting desperate and they had to start cutting down on bills. One day, Greg Woods arrived at Yellow's home. They had heard they enjoyed marble racing and asked them to join the Fruit Circuit, a now-defunct series of untelevised marble races. The four had caught Woods' attention due to their experience working for The Non-Descript Soda Company, which they thought was close enough to a fruit. The Circuit had been struggling financially and needed new teams to get more funding.

Yellow, Yellah, Yelley, and Yellup agreed to join the Fruit Circuit. Unfortunately, the four lacked experience in marble racing, although Yellah had played dodge-marble in school. They decided to name their team Mellow Yellow to avoid copyright-related issues while staying true to their origin. The Circuit involved minimal training for the four marbles. Once the training was complete, they joined the races in the Fruit Circuit.

The first few months were difficult, with Mellow Yellow struggling to get into the top 25. They particularly struggled with teams such as the Yarble Yellers and the Strawberry Strudels. But every race led to improvement, and the team eventually started to move up the rankings. They started to consistently finish within the top ten, and even in the top five. In 2015, the Fruit Circuit's last season, Mellow Yellow finished in second. This meant they prequalified for the new competition, Marble League 2016, along with the Limers and the O'rangers, and Greg Woods also moved to become the commentator for the new tournament.[2]

2016[]

YelleyRojoUno2016

Yelley winning the Sand Rally Final

Mellow Yellow had a strong start to Marble League 2016, earning a silver medal in Event 1, Balancing. Their next medal, a gold, came in Event 4, the Sand Rally. Yelley blazed through the qualifying to earn second place, just 1.1 seconds behind the top marble to book a spot in the final. Seven of the top eight teams in the standings were represented in the final, but it was Yelley who came through, overtaking Rojo Uno of the Rojo Rollers to claim the team's first Marble League gold medal, which was enough to put Mellow Yellow into joint first place with the Rojo Rollers.

MellowYellowDiving2016

The team's winning jump in Quartet Diving

The next six events were disappointing for Mellow Yellow, as they finished within the top half only once in the stretch, namely a bronze medal in Event 6, the Water Race. By the end of Event 9, Team Pursuit, the team were in fourth overall. The team's luck seemed to be reversing in Event 10, Precision Slalom, where they earned a single point, but fell further to sixth in the standings. Event 11, Quartet Diving, saw Mellow Yellow win another gold medal, taking the team into third overall.

ML16E12

Yellup losing to Speedy from the Savage Speeders in the Hurdles Final

With just two points separating Mellow Yellow from standings leaders, the Thunderbolts, a strong finish in the final event, Hurdles, was important. Yellup was selected to take part, and they edged out Sublime of the Limers by 0.03 seconds to move on to the final. In the last race of Marble League 2016, Yellup built a solid lead early, but struggled over the last hurdles as Speedy of the Savage Speeders pushed through by less than 0.01 seconds to win the event and the overall title. Had they won the event, they would have won the entirety of the 2016 Marble League. Yellup's silver medal was Mellow Yellow's joint-record fifth medal of the games, and it was good enough to bring the team into second place finish overall, pre-qualifying them for Marble League 2017.[2]

2017[]

YellowSpeedy5MeterSprint2017

It took a couple of events for Mellow Yellow to get up to speed in Marble League 2017. The team's first three events saw two top five finishes, but no medals, and they were stuck in seventh place after the first quarter of the games. Event 4, the 5-meter Sprint, saw Mellow Yellow reverse their luck as Yellow won their heat by 0.1 seconds over Sea of the Oceanics. Yellow earned the second spot in the final when they finished just behind Choc of the Chocolatiers in the semifinal. The final saw Mellow Yellow get their revenge for the final event of the 2016 season when Yellow came from behind to edge out Speedy of the Savage Speeders to claim the gold by 0.02 seconds. This took them into first place overall.

YellahHighJump2017

Yellah's record-breaking jump in High Jump

Another dry spell ensued as over the next three events the best finish Mellow Yellow could muster was tenth in Block Pushing. Yellah, however, rebounded in spectacular fashion for Event 8, the High Jump. Yellah successfully cleared each of their first six jumps in just one attempt, before setting a new Marble League record by clearing 38 cm, also in their first attempt. This earned them a gold medal, and the team jumped to third overall. In Event 9, the Steeplechase, Mellow Yellow posted a raw score of 40.66. Despite the success of their teammates, Yellah could not complete the course, and the team also incurred a one-second penalty, which pushed them to 0.09 seconds behind the Savage Speeders, who ended up winning the gold medal. They earned another silver medal and moved into second overall. Unfortunately, the team lost focus and only earned six points in the final three events, finishing in third, one point ahead of the rookie Midnight Wisps. They had once again pre-qualified for Marble League 2018.[2]

2018[]

During the offseason, Mellow Yellow recruited Yellim as reserve member as they trained for Marble League 2018. The team headed into the Marble League 2018 Friendly Round, where they managed to come second in all three events, and finished second overall. This established Mellow Yellow as a title contender. Things were looking good for the team, or so it seemed.

YellowSandMogulRace2018

However, Mellow Yellow had a terrible season, completely different from the two previous Marble Leagues. The team started out with a ninth place finish in Event 1, the 5 Meter Ice Dash, and a sixth place finish in Event 2, the Ski Jump, took them into eighth. Unfortunately, their poor performance in the next events saw the team fall to last place by the end of Event 8, Snowboard Cross. Mellow Yellow did manage to receive double-digit points in three of the last four events, and they moved to 15th place overall. The team were close to earning a medal in the final event, the Sand Mogul Race, where Yellow came fourth. They were tied with the Limers on points, but were behind in medal count. They finished the season in 15th, far worse than their expectation.[2]

Mellow Yellow had a busy offseason, returning to Amalanta to visit their families. There, they also began to work on a new stadium and training facility with their new coach, Mellow. They also had collected enough money to permanently settle in Amalanta. The team were unsure whether they had enough time to take part in the two offseason events, but Mellow said they should take part. Yellup had a mediocre fifteenth place finish in the 100 Meter Water Race, and the team came last in their group in the Amazing Maze Marble Race. They also submitted a bid to host Marble League 2019, but lost out to the Oceanics.[2]

2019[]

MellowYellow2019Relay

The team in Relay Race

Mellow Yellow had a terrible start to the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers, with Yellup finishing in last place in the first event, the Funnel Race. Coach Mellow started to work hard to restore the team's morale. It worked, and the team finished in eleventh in Block Pushing. They also got a second place finish in the Relay Race, putting the team into 11th overall, and remained there after a tenth place finish for Yellah in the final event, the Underwater Race, enough to qualify for Marble League 2019.

Mellow Yellow had one aim in Marble League 2019: to win back the respect of their fans after last year's poor performance. Unfortunately, Yellow, now the captain of the team, started off poorly for the team the first event of Marble League 2019, the Underwater Race, by coming 11th. However, each event saw an improvement as the team moved up the standings. Yellow was selected to take part in Event 5, the 5 Meter Sprint, which they had previously won in Marble League 2017. Yellow won the event, the team's first gold in more than a year, bringing the team into sixth place. Mellow Yellow stayed in sixth overall after a ninth place finish in Event 6, the Relay Run, and a bronze medal for the team in Event 7, Block Pushing. Yelley was eliminated in the heats of Event 8, the Summer Biathlon. However, they finished in ninth, enough for the team to jump to fourth place overall.

MellowYellowChocolatiersCollision2019

Unfortunately, the team started to fall back with a fifteenth place finish in the Dirt Race and a fourteenth place finish in Rafting, and the team dropped to seventh overall. Now that Mellow Yellow had earned the respect of their fans back, all they had to do was restore their confidence. Mellow Yellow had a slightly stronger finish to Marble League 2019. Yelley came fifth in Surfing, followed by a bronze medal for the team in Collision, putting the team into fourth overall. The podium positions were unachievable, but the team could remain in fourth with a good enough finish in the final event. Yellow finished the games with a ninth place finish in the Sand Rally, good enough to stay ahead of the Savage Speeders in the standings. Mellow Yellow finished the League in fourth place, finally beating the Savage Speeders and completing one of the most impressive redemptions in Marble League history.

Mellow Yellow returned to Amalanta and were greeted with surprise as they saw their logo gratified around the city, their posters in their favorite pizza shop, and headlines about them in the Amalanta Press. The team once again applied for a hosting bid for Marble League 2020, but were again unsuccessful. However, they were invited to take part in Marbula One Season 1. They accepted the invitation and announced they would be sending Yellow and Yellup, who decided to use the nicknames "The Big Cheese" and "The Golden Boy", respectively.[2]

2020[]

Marbula One Season 1[]

BoltOranginYellupGreenstoneM1S1

Yellup at the Greenstone Grand Prix

Mellow Yellow got off to a decent start as they earned points in the first two Grands Prix. Their form started to rise as Yellup did well in the Hivedrive Grand Prix, qualifying in third and finishing in fifth. They followed this up by earning pole position at the Greenstone Grand Prix and finishing in third. This was followed by another ten points at the Short Circuit Grand Prix for Yellow, but they earned only one point at the Razzway Grand Prix, which means that they were no longer able to win the season, but could still finish in the top three. Unfortunately, Yellup finished the Midnight Bay Grand Prix in 13th after qualifying in ninth, leading to them finishing the season in tenth.[2]

Marble League 2020[]

With a decent finish in Marbula One, the team felt that their poor performances were behind them. They entered into the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers with high hopes, starting with a fourth place finish in Balancing. However, after a 17th in Funnel Endurance, the team fell down to 13th overall. The team managed to finish in the top half in the last two events, enough for them to qualify in fifth overall. The team had high hopes, and were determined to keep up the good performances from last year.

Unfortunately, the team's enthusiasm was misplaced. The team started the competition with four bottom half finishes including two last place finishes in Balancing and in the Newton's Cradle, putting the team in last place overall. Some hope returned after Yelley managed to win a bronze medal in Event 5, Long Jump, lifting them to 15th overall, but the team returned to poor performances, placing in the bottom half in all but two of the next seven events. By the end of Event 12, Mellow Yellow were back in last place (and had been since Event 6) and were the first team to be mathematically eliminated from winning Marble League 2020 with only 51 points, 12 points behind the Hornets. Upon reflection the team realized they were burnt out after Marbula One Season 1 and had had done not enough training and were overconfident in their ability to succeed.

The team managed to win a second bronze medal in the High Jump, but this was followed by another last place in the Team Aquathlon. An eight place in Collision followed by a silver medal for Yellup in the Marble Marathon was enough to finally lift them out of last place to finish Marble League 2020 in 14th, ahead of the Balls of Chaos and the Hornets. Throughout the entire season, Mellow Yellow never left the bottom three of the League table, and were stuck at the bottom of the league for 75% of the season.[2]

Marbula One Season 2[]

YellupAquamaringM1S2

The notorious incident of Yellup falling off the track during qualifying at the Aquamaring Grand Prix

Despite their disastrous Marble League season, Mellow Yellow were invited to compete in Marbula One Season 2. They accepted, and sent out Yellow and Yellup again for the season. The team had originally applied, and was selected to host a Grand Prix, but was unable to get their track ready in time, and had to withdraw from hosting. Mellow Yellow's season started alright at first, as Yellow finished seventh at the Minty Mania Grand Prix, followed by a tenth place finish for Yellup at the O'raceway Grand Prix. But then, they went scoreless for three races in a row, with a 15th place for Yellow at the Honeydome Grand Prix before two consecutive DNQs, one for each team member, at the Aquamaring Grand Prix and the Tumult Turnpike Grand Prix. Yellup's DNQ at the Aquamaring was due to gaining so much air on the ramp that they fell off the track. Coach Mellow passed around a get well son card, and all the racers from that week chipped in to buy Yellup a new car, a Rollvo. Thankfully, Yellup was not badly injured and were well enough to compete in the final Grand Prix before the break at the Arctic Circuit where they finished 11th. By the mid-season break, Mellow Yellow were in 18th overall. To make matters worse, they were not invited to compete in the Marble League Winter Special due to their recent poor performances and their poor performance at the last winter Marble League in 2018. The team was devestated, letting this moment act as a wake up call for the team.[2]

2021[]

Due to not being invited for the Marble League Winter Special, the Limers started working with the Garden Peas to set up a special one-off Fruit Circuit Reunion, which Mellow Yellow agreed to take part in. The reunion was a five-event racing competition featuring sixteen teams, each of them Fruit Circuit alumni, all competing at different racetracks hosted by different competitors. They started up with a decent fourth in the Cloudberry Colliders’ Cloud Caverns. But this was followed with a seventh at the Seedway and an eighth at the Undergrowth. At this point in the league, they had managed to remain at a steady fourth place. However, it wasn’t over for them yet. After a shocking gold medal performance at the Jalapeños’ Chilli Pepper Cross, Mellow Yellow was suddenly fired into second, exactly equal with the Grape Nuts. Yellup won the final race at the Rambutan Run and the team won the Fruit Circuit Reunion.[2]

Marbula One Season 2[]

YellowMomotorwayM1S2

Yellow getting pole at the Momotorway Grand Prix

The team got off to a good start in the second half as Yellup managed to get sixth at the Raceforest Grand Prix and Yellow got a pole at theMomotorway Grand Prix. Yellow kept the momentum and managed to finish in third. Yellup got another pole at the Palette Park Grand Prix, making Mellow Yellow the first team to get pole in back-to-back Grands Prix. This time they could not repeat their podium-finishing result from the last Grand Prix and finished in 11th. Mellow Yellow managed to score points in the last three Grands Prix of the season, but there best finish was only tenth. As a result, the team finished the season in a disappointing 15th overall.

Rather than returning home, the members of Mellow Yellow traveled to Knikkegen, to the sand hills where Marble Rally events were held. Yelley suggested training on the sand tracks due to the high number of sand events that would be present at Marble League 2021. Plus sand racing was fun and there was no point in returning home that soon before the Marble League 2021 Practice Race. Yelley participated in Practice Race for the team. Yelley held the lead for a good chunk of the race but they fell off the bridge and got stuck on the course. Luckily, Rapidly from Savage Speeders saved them and Yelley finished 26th out of 28 teams.[2]

Marble League 2021[]

Mellow Yellow was placed in Group A of the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers with six other teams. They appeared to put their recent poor results behind them, finishing first in the Swing Wave and the 5 Meter Relay and tenth in the other two events, enough for them to qualify in second in their group.

HazersMellowYellowJousting2021

The team losing to the Hazers in Jousting

In the main tournament, the team was aiming for redemption. Their redemption story began well, winning a bronze medal in the first event, the Swing Wave. Unfortunately, they started to slow down as they only finished in the top half once in the next four events, and got two consecutive last place finishes in Funnel Endurance and the 5 Meter Relay. This dropped them down to 14th overall in the standings. They rebounded in Jousting, finishing in second, which brought them back up into the top ten. The next three events were again disappointing for the team as only one of them was a top-half finish. As a result, the team dropped to 11th in the standings, nearly 50 points behind the leaders Team Momo.

MellowYellowSteeplechase2021

The team's record-breaking run in Steeplechase

In the next two events, Mellow Yellow made history by getting two back-to-back gold medals in Steeplechase and the Sand Mogul Race which brought them up to third overall. The hot streak continued in Diving where they got a silver medal and took first place overall away from Team Momo by a margin of 3 points. Both Team Momo and Mellow Yellow shockingly placed bottom two in the Elimination Race which enabled the Raspberry Racers to retake the lead. Mellow Yellow had two more disappointing finishes in the Sand Rally and Football which dropped them down to third, trailing behind the Raspberry Racers by nine points and the Hazers by two points. Yellup, who finished second in the Marble Marathon the previous year was sent to participate in Marblocross. The event's starting order was reverse championship order, so Mellow Yellow started the race in 14th position.

MintyFreshKinnowinYellupMarblocross2021

Yellup losing 2nd to Kinnowin from the O'rangers just before the finish line in Marblocross

Yellup got off to a strong start, jumping up to fifth after two laps, taking Mellow Yellow to second in the live overall standings. Unfortunately, Yellup wasn't able to hold on and dropped all the way to 13th after lap 6, thus dropping to fourth overall in the live standings. Yellup was able to bounce back again, climbing up to third in just three laps, regaining first in the live overall standings. They were able to pass the Green Ducks and took the lead on lap 13, extending the lead as the race continued, but the Minty Maniacs made the lead shrink to 0.2 seconds on lap 20 and took the lead on lap 21. Mellow Yellow were never able to catch up and were passed by the O'rangers just before the finish line in the final lap, finishing in third place. However, a 16th-place-finish by Hazy from the Hazers and a 15th-place-finish by Rizzy from the Raspberry Racers meant Mellow Yellow had done enough and had won Marble League 2021.

Later on in the year, a member of the team took part in the ESCAPE2021 Marble Race, winning the one-off race by overtaking the O'rangers just before the finish line.

2022[]

Marbula One Season 3[]

Mellow Yellow were invited to participate in Marbula One Season 3. They accepted, and for the third season in a row they sent out Yellow and Yellup. After 12 races, the team finished in 16th, tied with the Chocolatiers at 69 points. Individually, Yellup and Yellow placed 25th and 26th respectively, with 35 and 34 points.

Trivia[]

  • Despite its name sounding the same, Mellow Yellow has nothing to do with the soft drink brand "Mello Yello".
  • The name "Mellow Yellow" was first suggested by a Facebook user in July 2016.[4]
  • Mellow Yellow is one of four active solid color teams. The others are the O'rangers, Snowballs, and Pinkies.
  • Mellow Yellow share a rivalry with Savage Speeders due to close finishes at the end of ML2016, ML2017 and ML 2019.
  • Mellow Yellow is one of three teams that have been able to qualify for every single Marble League so far, the other two being the Savage Speeders and the O'rangers.
  • In the Marble League, Mellow Yellow is the first team with multiple top 3 finishes and multiple bottom 3 finishes.
    • Of all teams who have finished 3rd overall in a Marble League, Mellow Yellow is the only team to finish on the overall podium more than once.
    • They are also the only team to place 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in separate Marble Leagues.
  • With their qualification for Marble League 2021 and their championship win in the main tournament, Mellow Yellow became the first team to place 14th in a Marble League and qualify and win the championship the next year, defying a phenomenon known as the "14th Place Curse".
  • They have the most Lead Cube Award points with 80 points, as of the final event of 2022.
  • As Mellow Yellow won Marble League 2021, they also became the first team to qualify for 7 editions of the Marble League.
  • They have the lowest Points Per Event among all champions in each season with 10.125, and the lowest Average Position Per event among all champions with 8.125.
  • After Yellah & Yellim's silver in Jousting, each team member in the team now all have an individual medal in the Marble League, becoming the 5th team to do so, alongside the Hazers.
  • They are the first team to get two consecutive last-place-finishes and two consecutive golds in one Marble League.
  • They were also the first team to achieve two consecutive Pole Positions in Marbula One, which they achieved in GP 7 (Momotorway) and GP 8 (Palette Park) during Season 2. This was followed by the Crazy Cat's Eyes and Savage Speeders in Seasons 3 & 4 respectively.
  • Mellow Yellow were the first team to win an individual gold medal in the Marble League, courtesy of the now retired Yelley in the 2016 Sand Rally.
