The Oceanics are a partially translucent blue team introduced in Marble League 2016, currently represented by Ocean, Sea, Aqua, Bay, and Ounce. They have participated in every Marble League up until 2021, and have currently won 10 medals in the Marble League.

Hailing from the city of Dunduei, the team competed in the Seven Seas Circuit prior to their admission into Marble League 2016, in which they finished 10th with two medals, despite going scoreless in six straight events. After an average Marble League 2017, the Oceanics finished top of their qualifying group in Marble League 2018, finishing 3rd that season, after being in first for five out of the twelve events with 3 medals and scoring 130 points, 9 points behind the champions, the Midnight Wisps.

The team hosted Marble League 2019, but suffered a massive drop in form during the season, as they finished dead last with just 70 points and no medals to their name. This season also saw their coach, Tide, fired by manager Reef mid-season, with them being replaced by Lagoon. The Oceanics managed to redeem themselves in Marble League 2020, finishing in 10th with 3 medals, tying on points with the previous year champions, the Raspberry Racers. They were invited to Marbula One Season 2, which they finished 17th with a bronze medal from Ocean at the Savage Speedway.

In 2021, the Oceanics won the Marble League Winter Special, marking the team's first ever trophy. Ever since then however, the team would never be able to recover that form again. Indeed, they failed to qualify for Marble League 2021, finishing last in their qualifying group with just 9 points to their name, the worst of any team in the Qualifiers. The team would go on to perform poorly in the Marble League Showdown, finishing in 11th place.

Due to the suspension of relegation in the Marble League Showdown 2021, the Oceanics were able to compete in the Marble League 2022 Qualifiers. However, they would also fail to qualify for Marble League 2022, scoring just 11 points in their group. The team would subsequently finish dead last in the Marble League Showdown 2022, and again in the next year's Showdown, leaving the team in a state of uncertainty as prospects of retirement became increasingly likely, especially in the face of the rise of an old rival team of theirs from their days at the Seven Seas Circuit.

The Oceanics share a regional rivalry with the Turtle Sliders, dating back to their days at the Seven Seas Circuit. The teams met for the first time during Marble League Showdown 2021, where the Turtle Sliders decisively beat the Oceanics by finishing in a decent 7th place in the standings against the latter's 11th. For the next two years, the Turtle Sliders again beat the Oceanics in the Showdown for the final standings.

History[]

Pre-Marble League[]

The Oceanics come from the city of Dunduei. The four original members of the Oceanics, Aqua, Sea, Shore and Ocean grew up together as friends there. When they were teenagers, they worked together at a surf shop in a nearby town, even though none of them knew how to surf. They enjoyed spending time at the beach, but not in the ocean unless they were cooling down.

The friends discovered a passion for marble sports when one morning at dawn they were cleaning surfboards. Shore dragged a surfboard across the sand, making a long path. Ocean saw the path and decided to roll down it. They got Shore to have a go as well. Shore never revealed to the rest of the group how it was made. The friends were excited and closed the shop for the rest of the day to roll down the track. They extended the track and spent the next week rolling down it before deciding to sell the surf shop and start training.

Over the next two years, the four competed with other teams from Oceania like the Turtle Sliders in the Seven Seas Circuit. When the Marble League was announced, they took interest in participating. During this time, they had been known as "Team Moana" (which means ocean), but fearing legal threats from the Non-Descript Entertainment Company, they decided to change it. Sea was in charge of choosing a new name. They considered "Team Liquid", but eventually chose "Oceanics", as it is straightforward enough for other marbles to recognize it and still reflects their background working with the ocean.[1]

2016[]

Ocean

The Oceanics in 2016

The Oceanics were eventually admitted to Marble League 2016 due to their success in the Seven Seas Circuit. Only when they were training for Marble League 2016 did any of the four learn to swim, which some have hypothesized is the reason for their poor performances in water. The team started off decently, earning one point in the first event, Balancing. They then did not gain any points in the next seven events. By the end of Event 6, the Water Race, the team were in last place in the standings.

The Oceanics did not finish in the top half until Event 9, Team Pursuit, where they won their first ever Marble League medal, a gold, by winning the final against the seemingly dominant Balls of Chaos. With boosted morale, the team went on to gain a silver medal in Event 11, Quartet Diving, and finished the season in tenth place, better than what they'd hoped for at the halfway point of the season.[1]

2017[]

The Oceanics had a good start to the Marble League 2017 Qualifiers, finishing fourth in the first event, the Relay Race, followed by a second place finish in the second event, the Sand Race. They finished with two tenth place finishes, qualifying in fourth overall.

The Oceanics had a strong start to Marble League 2017, with Aqua earning a silver medal in the first event, the Funnel Race. Unfortunately they followd this up with two bottom half finishes, dropping the team to ninth overall. Sea then won a bronze medal in Event 4, the 5-Meter Sprint. The team also managed to break a Marble League Record in the heats of Event 6, the Relay Run, but this was overshadowed by Team Primary's disqualification after Imar, a member of Team Primary, started their portion of the race early. The disqualification led to a brawl in the stands, which made many miss the record-breaking run.

Unfortunately, the Oceanics had a poor second half of the season as they struggled to finish consistently. Apart from a sixth place finish for Aqua in Event 8, the High Jump, the team couldn't get any higher than eighth place in events. They didn't earn any points in Event 10, Archery, coming in last place. The team ended the season in a disappointing 11th place with 99 points. They returned home feeling dejected.[1]

2018[]

The interior of the Seven Seas Stadium

The Oceanics had become a major part of the Marble League, but they had never seen major success. After the end of Marble League 2017, the team came into contact with Tide, a marble who was promoting marble sports competitions in Mellacai, a major city known for science and architecture. Tide personally reached out to the team and offered to train them for the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers. The four accepted the offer with no hesitation.

Tide bought the Oceanics as part of the agreement, and funded their flights to Mellacai to train with them. During this time, they stayed out of the public eye. However, they did announce that Tide would coach them, that Reef had been hired as their manager and that they were constructing the Seven Seas Stadium in Dunduei.

The Oceanics eventually arrived at the Arctic Circle for the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers. Seeded into Group B, the team came first in the first event, Curling. Unfortunately, the team faltered in the Snow Race, where Shore failed to finish. A fifth place finish for Sea in the 5 Meter Ice Dash saw the team drop to fifth in the group. However, the team managed to finish first and set a new record in the final event, the Halfpipe. This brought the team back onto the top the group and, most importantly, a much-desired qualification spot.

The Oceanics continued their newfound dominance into Marble League 2018, with Sea winning a gold medal in the first event, the 5 Meter Ice Dash. The team did not medal for the next four events, but kept up with their performance by finishing within the top half in all but one of those events. They earned another medal, a bronze, in Event 6, Team Pursuit, where they also set a Marble League Record in the heats. By the end of the event, the team took back the lead in the standings.

Unfortunately, the Oceanics started to falter in the next two events, the Snow Rally and Snowboard Cross, where Aqua and Shore finished close to last in those respective events. But the team regained their momentum by repeating their feat from the Qualifiers by winning a gold medal in Event 9, Curling. They jumped back into the lead in the standings. By Event 11, Ice Hockey, the team remained in first in the standings.

Expectations were high for the Oceanics as the season reached the final event, Sand Mogul Race. Unfortunately, Ocean couldn't control themselves in the semifinals and ended up finishing last in their semifinal heat. To add insult to injury, the Midnight Wisps and the Savage Speeders, the other remaining title contenders, both made it into the final. Eventually, both teams did enough in the finals, and the Oceanics dropped to third overall at the end of Marble League 2018. This was their biggest leap in standings, going from 11th the previous year to third, but the championship title near miss was a blow to the team's morale.

This led to the Oceanics' poor performances in the off-season events, the 100 Meter Water Race, where Aqua finished 18th, and the Amazing Maze Marble Race, where the team came 17th. The team started training in the Seven Seas Stadium, which was in its last stages on construction, under the supervision of Coach Tide, Royal Marina and their mascot, Alvin. On August 2018, at the end of the Amazing Maze Marble Race, the Oceanics were announced as hosts for Marble League 2019, meaning they were pre-qualified for Marble League 2019. Some members of the O'rangers were allegedly unhappy with this decision, leading to a small rivalry between the two teams.[1]

2019[]

Tide stepped down from being the reserve member of the Oceanics as it would appear to be a conflict of interest to both coach a team and be an active member due to the more prominent role of coaches in Marble League 2019. Tide became the Oceanics' full time coach and recruited Bay as the new reserve member on account of their skills as an endurance athlete. Bay had actually already competed for the team in the Marble League 2018 Qualifiers, but had to leave shortly afterwards to compete in the Seven Seas Circuit.

Unfortunately, the Oceanics didn't feel the same with Tide no longer competing with them. They didn't coach the team as well while on the bench as they didn't see where the team was struggling. The team took part in the Marble League 2019 Friendly Round. They managed to win two events, the Funnel Race and Relay Run. Despite finishing in last place in the final event, the Underwater Race, they finished the competition in first, one point ahead of the O'rangers. This was the point that the fans started to question the team's performance in water-based events, noting their past poor performances.

Knowing this, the Oceanics felt pressure to train for the water events, to the point of training too much for them, neglecting the other events. Other factors affected their training, including the completion of the Seven Seas Stadium, which affected their ability to train before early 2019, and the declining health of Royal Marina, which prevented them from attending Marble League 2019.

The Oceanics couldn't keep up their good performance from the Friendly Round when Marble League 2019 started. Ocean represented the team in the first event, the Underwater Race, where they came in 13th. This was a blow to morale, especially because it was in front of their own public, not to mention Royal Triton. The team had bottom-half finishes in four out of the next five events, leaving them in last place. The Oceanics briefly managed to get out of last place after Event 8, Summer Biathlon. Unfortunately, the team still could not get back to their 2018 form.

The Oceanics nearly earned a medal in Event 10, the Hubelino Maze, coming in fourth, which kept them in 15th place above the Pinkies. The following event, the Dirt Race, saw Shore come in seventh, putting the team back into last place overall. Morale was at an all time low and the team continued to do poorly in Event 12, Rafting, coming in 11th. This ensured they were the first team unable to win Marble League 2019.

Noceanics

In Event 13, the Elimination Race, Sea was the first marble to be eliminated in their heat, coming in 15th. After Sea's elimination, the manager of the Oceanics, Reef, rolled over to Tide with team mascot, Alvin, and some security marbles. Reef fired Tide on the spot, even though Tide still owned the team. Lagoon was brought in to coach the team for the remainder of Marble League 2019. Tide tried to fire Reef as manager, but was stopped when the Royal Family stepped in.

Unfortunately for the Oceanics, Lagoon couldn't turn their fortunes around, and the team finished in last place with the worst points average of any team in Marble League history. After the final event, the Sand Rally, the Oceanics fans stormed into the stadium and surrounded the podium, holding a banner saying "Noceanics". Manager Reef attributed this result to stress from hosting, coaching changes and loss of fan support.

After the end of Marble League 2019, the Royal Family of Dunduei decided to acquire the rights to the Oceanics name, as well as all its associated personnel, including Reef and Lagoon, and the Seven Seas Stadium, from Tide, who was promptly dismissed once the deal was reached.[2] In addition, to make sure the team have nothing to do with Tide anymore, the Oceanics revealed their new team hashtag, "#RideTheWave".

The Oceanics were invited to take part in Marbula One Season 1 but rejected the invitation because they wanted to focus on training for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers after their poor performance in Marble League 2019.[3] Some sources claimed that Lagoon would not let them take part in any offseason event until they got over their fear of water.[1]

2020[]

Marble League 2020[]

To try to remedy their poor performance in the previous year, the Oceanics took a much stricter and aggressive approach to training. Lagoon would regularly push the team to the limit, including intensive water practice such as swimming 400 meters in torrential rain to overcome their fear of water.

The Oceanics returned in the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers. They had a good start, finishing seventh is Balancing. This was followed by a fifth place for Shore in Funnel Endurance causing the Oceanics to move up to fourth overall. However, a mediocre 12th place finish in Event 3, Block Pushing, pushed them back down into sixth Place. However, a third place finish by Sea in the 5 Meter Sprint started to show that the team were back, qualifying in third. Despite their optimism, reporters, fans and other athletes were skeptical.

However, the start of Marble League 2020 did not go as well as they hoped. The Oceanics repeatedly finished in the bottom half in seven of the first eight events, dropping the team to 15th overall. The main highlight of this period was a sixth place finish in the Long Jump. Rock bottom came in Event 8, the Triathlon. The Oceanics were placed against the Hazers, Midnight Wisps and Bumblebees. Shore managed to get out to a great lead while on the racing track. However, when they started the underwater section, the Oceanics' notoriously bad swimming skills came back to haunt them, as the Hazers and the Midnight Wisps swam past Shore to knock the Oceanics out of the event, giving them a ninth place finish. This marked a new record of 27 events without a medal. Marbles mocked the team from the stands and the team hit rock bottom mentally.

However, in the Sand Mogul Race, the event that lost them the championship in Marble League 2018, the Oceanics were placed against three of the toughest teams in Marble League 2020: the Minty Maniacs, the Raspberry Racers and the leaders, the O'rangers. Ocean shocked everyone by beating all three teams, advancing to the semifinals alongside the Minty Maniacs. In the semifinals, they were able to outclass all of their opponents, and reached the final alongside the Hazers, the Minty Maniacs and the Savage Speeders. In the end, Ocean managed to beat all three teams and clinched the Oceanics their first medal since their Curling gold in Marble League 2018, ending their 27-event long medal drought. A big celebration followed this event, and the Oceanics rode this wave of positivity into the next event, the 5 Meter Sprint where Sea beat the Marble League record in the heats and won a silver medal, missing out on gold by just 0.002 seconds to the Minty Maniacs.

The team took a slight dip with a tenth place finish in the Black Hole Funnel, but returned to the podium again with a bronze medal in the Relay Run, breaking another record in the process. Shore noted this as one of the best runs in the team's history. A disappointing 14th in the High Jump followed, but the team's attention quickly turned to the next event, the Team Aquathlon, which the team had been dreading, especially when they were paired up against the tournament-leading O'rangers. The O'rangers had a big lead going into the water, but miraculously the Oceanics caught up and just managed to overtake the O'rangers by the time they reached the finish line - to the disbelief of many, the Oceanics had advanced in a water event. Despite being beaten by the Midnight Wisps in the quarterfinals, this event became known as "The Miracle in the Waves".

Two consecutive seventh place finishes cements tenth place overall for the Oceanics with 133 points. While not pushing the team up the standings, their victory over the O'rangers lead to their downfall and their eventual loss to the Savage Speeders. After the Closing Ceremony, the Speeders sent a card to the team, apologizing for mocking them at the start of the tournament, thanking them for beating the O'rangers and inviting them to their victory party. The team accepted and joined the Speeders and other teams on the top floor of the Polaria Marble Hotel. The next day, the team flew back to Dunduei and were welcomed by a small group of fans.[1]

Marbula One Season 2[]

With their impressive second-half comeback in the Marble League, the Oceanics were invited to participate in Marbula One Season 2 as well as host one of the Grands Prix, which they accepted. The team selected captain Ocean "Tide Turner" and Sea "Seasoned Sprinter" for the tournament. Their current track, the Shore Path had been used in the Seven Seas Circuit but was not up to Marbula One standards. They did have access to another track, the Aquamaring, but it had not been used in over a decade. They thought about using other nearby circuits such as the Check Em Circuit or the Hatchling Highway, but felt they would lose the charm of Dunduei. The team decided to buy the Aquamaring and started to renovate it with help from volunteers from across the region. While the renovations took place, the Balls of Flame offered the team the Check Em Circuit to practice on until the new track was ready. A large crowd came out for the opening ceremony, the same day as the Minty Mania Grand Prix. Many former and active Seven Seas Circuit teams came out and held a friendly race on the track.

The Oceanics had an alright start to Marbula One Season 2 as Sea finished eighth in the Minty Mania Grand Prix. This was followed by two consecutive scoreless performances, including a last place finish for Sea at the Honeydome Grand Prix, dropping the Oceanics to 15th overall. The next race was at their home track, the Aquamaring Grand Prix. Ocean's Q1 run was good enough for seventh. Then disaster struck as Yellup of Mellow Yellow fell off the track. Medics rushed to the scene and took them to hospital. Officials erected a barrier before Q2 began. Ocean made it through Q2 and then managed to win pole position in Q3, the first marble to do so at their home track. After the Qualifiers had finished, Ocean and the other racers went to the hospital to visit Yellup. Despite winning pole, Ocean could not hold onto the position and fell down to ninth. This was followed by another last place finish for Sea at the Tumult Turnpike Grand Prix]. Ocean finished the first half of the season with a seventh place finish at the Arctic Circuit Grand Prix, the team's best finish so far, keeping the team in 17th overall, behind the likes of the Limers and the Snowballs. The Oceanics felt almost as bad as they did in 2019.[1]

2021[]

Marble League Winter Special[]

While on vacation in Hailfern, the Oceanics were invited to participate in the Marble League Winter Special which they accepted without hesitation. As they had done well in by coming third in the 2018 Winter Marble League, Lagoon set a goal of winning the tournament.

In the first event, the Ice Dash, Lagoon placed Shore in over Sea, who had won the event in 2018. Unfortunately, the Oceanics finished in 13th. But then Aqua won gold in the Snowboard Cross in a photo finish, before Ocean won silver in Speed Skating, only losing in the final heat to the Thunderbolts. This sent the Oceanics to the top of the standings, the first time since 2018. In the next event, the Bobsled, the Oceanics were the last to go. The Thunderbolts and the Hazers, two of their title contenders, underperformed. The team won their third consecutive medal, a bronze, losing to the Minty Maniacs by milliseconds. With this win, the Oceanics sat 12 points clear of the Thunderbolts in second.

In the final event, which Ice Hockey, the Oceanics were placed against the Chocolatiers, who sat at the bottom of the table heading into the final event. If the team could beat the Chocolatiers then the trophy would pretty much be theirs, the first trophy in their history. Unfortunately, the Oceanics lost to the Chocolatiers, leading the door wide open for other teams to swoop in and win the tournament. However, with the Thunderbolts, Green Ducks and Team Momo also going out in the first round, things were looking up. By the semifinals, only the O'rangers could still win overall. Thankfully, the Raspberry Racers beat the O'rangers in the semifinals meaning the Oceanics had won the Marble League Winter Special ending their legacy of failure. The team went straight to the fans to celebrate and received a rolling ovation from fans of many teams.

The Oceanics returned to Dunduei and were greeted by a large crowd. A ceremony was held in the Seven Seas Stadium to honor the champions, with Riyal Triton declaring the day “Winter Marble League Champions Day”.[1]

Marbula One Season 2[]

Unfortunately, the Oceanics could not carry the momentum from their victory forward into the second half of Marbula One Season 2. Ocean finished 12th at the Raceforest Grand Prix while Seas finished tenth at the Momotorway Grand Prix, although did manage to get the fastest lap. This was followed by two consecutive DNQs, dropping the team to 19th overall. However, Ocean managed to save the team's season at the Savage Speedway by starting and finishing third, running in second for most of the race before getting passed by Starry on the final lap. Sea finished the season with a ninth place at the Midnight Bay, taking the team to 17th overall.

The Oceanics took a week off to relax, staying at Ocean's house which has a private coast. While relaxing, the Turtle Sliders, who were out with fans trying to promote the team, stumbled upon the Oceanics. The Turtles Sliders would keep returning throughout the week to spread their message.[1]

Marble League 2021[]

Ocean was sent to participate in the Marble League 2021 Practice Race and finished tenth. This was the team's first opportunity to compete against the Turtle Sliders since their time in the Seven Seas Circuit. The two teams hoped to be in the same group at the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers, but unfortunately they ended up in different groups.[1]

The Oceanics were seeded into Group A for the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers. Expectations were high after winning the Marble League Winter Special, but unfortunately the team finished bottom half in every event, finishing last in their group, failing to qualify for Marble League 2021 for the first time in their history.

The Oceanics returned to Felynia for Marble League Showdown 2021. They had a good start in the 5 Meter Sprint in which Sea reclaimed their Marble League Record before eventually finishing in third. However, they placed in the bottom half in the next three events dropping them to tenth overall. Aqua tried to turn their tournament around by winning a bronze medal in the Triathlon, their first medal in a water event since 2016. They once again could not keep this up and finished in the bottom three in the last three events, dropping down to 11th by the end of the tournament. If it had been another year, the Oceanics would have been relegated to the Marble League Showdown 2022.

Due to the Oceanics poor finishes in Marbula One Season 2, the 2021 Qualifiers, and Marble League Showdown 2021, the team was not invited to compete in Marbula One Season 3.

2022[]

While the Oceanics were unhappy with not being in Marbula 1 Season 3, this did allow them to devote all of their training into the Marble League. Their fans hoped that they would be ready for the qualifiers.

Draw for Qualifying groups[]

The 2022 Qualifying groups would be settled with a draw, where two marbles, each from different teams, would go into a green funnel with one another, whoever finished first would be in group A, while the other marble would be into group B. Because the Oceanics and the Solar Flares were bottom 2 in the 2021 Showdown, they'd be the last ones to have their groups decided. Group A wasn't good, with the O'rangers and the Crazy Cat's Eyes as the only notable teams. Group B on the other hand was stacked, with the Midnight Wisps, Savage Speeders, Team Momo, and Team Galactic. Unfortunately, the Oceanics would settle into group B.

2022 Qualifiers[]

The Oceanics had a terrible start to the 2022 Qualifiers, as their best score in Climbing was 62 centimeters, which was only good enough for 10th. Bay would be placed in the hurdles, and they started off well, as they were neck and neck with Bolt for the lead until after Hurdle 3, when Minty Fresh took the lead, from Hurdles 3-5 Bay was fighting for second, but after hurdle 5 it all came undone as the Bay finished last in their heat with a time of 8.462, but it was enough for 6th in their group, which kept them in 10th. But Balancing when terribly for them, as they finished in 11th, and were one of only three teams without a finisher, and got just a 244. They fell to 11th on the leaderboard and had just 9 points. If the Oceanics wanted to qualify, they would need to win the Triathlon and have either the Savage Speeders or Midnight Wisps finish 10th or lower, the Hazers would need to miss the podium, and both the Thunderbolts and the Limers would need to finish 3rd or lower. However, the Oceanics only managed 10th, and both the Savage Speeders and Midnight Wisps finished top 2. This caused the Oceanics to miss the Marble League again, as they only finished 11th in their group, scoring just 11 points. The Oceanics fans once again stormed the tracks, and there was a "Noceanics" sign in the crowd. Adding insult to injury, Greg called the Oceanics fans "Thunderbolts fans" as he was referencing the Thunderbolts not qualifying for the first time.

2022 Showdown[]

The Oceanics would once again have to go to the showdown, but this time there was relegation and 16 teams. There would be two parts to the showdown with 4 events in each part. The first half of the showdown was very inconsistent for the Oceanics. The first event was the Swing Wave, where they were able to finish in 9th, which wasn't too bad. But the next event was the 5 meter sprint, where the Oceanics finished 15th with Sea. This shot them down to last place overall. Then there was the water race, meaning the Oceanics would have to participate in a water event. Aqua finished sixth in their heat and 12th overall, and the only reason they didn't finish lower was because of a track defect that caused both Azure and Mimo to get DNFs. The Oceanics were able to move up to 15th overall over the Kobalts thanks to Azure's DNF. The they were able to capture 7th in the relay race, however, they stayed in 15th. This meant they finished the first half of the showdown with 21 points and were in the relegation zone. They started off the second half of the showdown with an 84.90cm push in Block Pushing, but their second best push was just a 75.85, which gave them an overall score of 160.75, only enough for 12th. They stayed in 15th. Ounce would be in the funnel endurance, and was doing well as they entered the final orange funnel in 4th, but then somehow went straight through the catch funnel and very quickly went through the final green funnel to finish the heat in 6th, which was not enough for the Oceanics to advance. Ounce finished in 13th, and the Oceanics fell back down to last. Adding insult to injury they were out of title contention, and they were 9 points away from the top 12. Even though Sea and Bay placed fourth in climbing, they were 11 points away from the top 12. The Oceanics would need at least fourth in the Sand Rally to have a chance of making it out of the showdown, the highest they could finish overall was 6th. Ocean had a great start in the Sand Rally, as they were in the top 5 to start, but they fell all the way down to 14th. Adding insult to injury again, they finished 1 hundredth of a second behind their rivals, the Turtle Sliders, and with the other teams in the relegation zone all finishing in the top 4, the Oceanics finished the 2022 Showdown in last by 9 points. To add more insult to injury the Turtle Sliders finished the Showdown in 4th. Because the Oceanics got dead last in the 2022 Showdown, they would miss out on the 2023 Marble League, their third missed Marble League in a row after making the first five Marble Leagues.

Trivia[]

  • The Oceanics have a rivalry with the O'rangers, from bidding for hosting Marble League 2019.
  • The Oceanics also share a rivalry with the Turtle Sliders, as they come from the same region.[1]
  • Tide is the one of only two coachs so far to have competed in the Marble League as well as coached.
  • Coach Tide was fired during Event 13, the Elimination Race, of Marble League 2019. This was because of the Oceanics' poor performances throughout the season.
  • The Oceanics are also the first team to have changed ownership; their ownership being transferred from Tide to the Royal Family of Dunduei.
  • At the end of Event 16, the Sand Rally, of Marble League 2019, Oceanics fans stormed the stadium and swarmed the podium, raising a sign bearing the word "NOCEANICS" and expressing grave disappointment over their team's performance. The fans were subsequently banned - from their home stadium.
  • The Oceanics were the only team that didn't get any medals in Marble League 2019.
  • They have a similar look to the Bluefastics from the Hubelino Tournament.
  • After their 9th place finish in the Triathlon in Marble League 2020, the Oceanics broke the record for the most consecutive events without a medal, breaking the Pinkies' record of 26. The drought ended in the following event with their gold in the Sand Mogul Race. This record is currently tied with the Thunderbolts.

One of those teams are the Oceanics, who had a lot of trouble after the last main season and need to get back on track before successfully competing again.”
