History[]
Pre-Marble League[]
The Turtle Sliders started their marble racing career in the Seven Seas Circuit, racing against other teams from the region such as the Oceanics. Shelly, the only original member of the team remaining, was key in helping the team outsmart their opponents and keep up with the Oceanics. Their skills in endurance, longevity and drive to compete kept them going in marble sports even as their old teammates retired. Unfortunately the Sliders never managed to beat the Oceanics, but came close in the 2015 Seven Seas Circuit when they came third overall.
Once the Oceanics left to join the Marble League, many of the original members of the team lost interest and left the team. In mid-2018 Shelly traveled across the region to cities such as Aslipi, Jamarbla and Mellacai to recruit new members. In the end Shelly recruited Crush, Squirt, Dash, and Frank (the reserve member). Splint, the team's original coach, stayed with the team.
Crush was from Aslipi and used to compete in the Turtle Sliders' minor league team, the Hatchling Skidders. After they retired from sports, they went into acting and appeared in a crime documentary produced by the Non-Descript Entertainment Company about colorful fish being kidnapped. They were convinced to join the Sliders by their younger sibling, Squirt, who had always looked up to Crush's leadership while they were in the Skidders. Frank followed them from the minor leagues and became the reserve member.
Dash was recruited from Jamarbla. They were a rising star athlete in the city, known for their "extreme speed trials" that they would post on MarBook. They already had a huge fanbase and when they joined the Turtle Sliders, the fans followed. This large number of fans started to petition for the team to be allowed to compete in the Marble League 2019 Qualifiers. Splint, the original team's coach, was living in Mellacai when they were contacted about reforming the Turtle Sliders.
The Turtle Sliders began training in Aslipi for the 2019 Seven Seas Circuit when they received news of the Marble League Showdown which featured a fan vote competition to determine two of the places. Their fans voted for the team in overwhelming numbers, using their previous previous rivalry with Oceanics to attract attention. This was their message to the team posted online:
"But we are coming for you, we will not stand in your shadow, we are here to take it all. Our goal is to make it to the Marble League and win it all—we made it this far, we aren’t gonna stop now. We WILL make it to the starting line next to you, and when we do, you better be prepared. Your past is catching up to you."
Along with their past rivalry, their logo and reunion story were also praised. In the end they finished second in the vote behind the Hornets, and were entered into Marble League Showdown 2019.
During this time, the Crazy Cat's Eyes visited the team, boating around the islands and racing each other underwater while motivating them to do as well as they could in the upcoming Showdown.[2]
2019[]
As the team trained, they focused on honing their synergy as a team. This paid off when they came fifth in Event 2, Collision. Unfortunately the other three events did not go as well. Squirt finished ninth in Event 1, the Sand Rally, after struggling to reach the top four after getting caught behind a gaggle of competitors. Dash led for a lot of the Funnel Race but ended up consecutively falling through the final two funnels finishing in tenth and dropping them to tenth overall. The team had trained for the final event, Balancing, but their nerves got the better of them and they could only manage an 11th place finish, finishing in 11th overall, failing to qualify for the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers.
The Sliders returned to Aslipi and started to train at their training facility, Slider Academy, located on Sliding Square, named in honor of the team after their third-place finish in the 2015 Seven Seas Circuit. The team expected to return home to a disappointed crowd but were surprised by a huge celebration, with festivities lasting long into the night.
Slider Academy was certified by the JMRC but was severely underequipped, with a lot of money spent on a pool. Shelly started an athletic training program, although not all of the rest of the team had the time to take part.[3]
During the off-season, Splint received a call from White Eye, the manager of the Crazy Cat's Eyes. Their team had also not done as well as they would have liked, finishing 11th in Marble League 2019. The two coaches organised for the Sliders to visit the Cat's Eyes in Felynia. After landing in the city, White Eye took the team to a nearby park where they hid behind bushes to surprise the Cat's Eyes. When the Cat's Eyes arrived, the Sliders jumped out and surprised them, leading to an ecstatic reunion. The two teams had tea in the park before travelling to the Cat's Eyes training facilities. The two teams trained together, including practicing an Elimination Race. The final came down to the two reserves, Frank and Cyan Eye with Frank just winning in a photo finish. After the Sliders returned from their trip, they were more determined to train hard so they could compete in the Marble League alongside their friends.[2]
2020[]
The Sliders returned to the Seven Seas Circuit, performing well in the twelve-event tournament. They managed to win gold in the Underwater Race and Rafting. Going into the final event, the Marble Marathon, the Sliders were just ahead of the Balls of Flame and decided to put in Frank, remembering their performance in the Elimination Race against the Crazy Cat's Eyes. Frank qualified in third, but managed to pull ahead alongside Check from the Balls of Flame in the penultimate lap. After a photo finish that took an hour for the judges to decide, they ruled that Frank had won, winning the team the 2020 Seven Seas Circuit ahead of the Balls of Flame and the Archerfish. Fans filled Sliding Square upon their return to Aslipi. They quickly returned to training for the upcoming Marble League Showdown 2020.
The Sliders started off Marble League Showdown 2020 by finishing just outside the top half in seventh in the Relay Run. This was followed by a less good ninth place finish in the Halfpipe. Dash and Shelly got the Sliders' only top half finish by coming sixth in the Black Hole Funnel. Despite this, they dropped to ninth overall. Unfortunately Squirt could only manage an eighth place finish in the final event, the Sand Mogul Race, making the Sliders finish in ninth overall. Once again the Turtle Sliders failed to qualify for the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers and were heartbroken again, especially after doing so well in the Seven Seas Circuit.
The team went out to a juice bar to cheer up where they met the Crazy Cat's Eyes along with some other marbles including Gogo and Mimo. They encouraged the Sliders that they may not have done well but they gave their all. The team felt better and asked to train with the Cat's Eyes again. They traveled to Felynia and started training amid the construction for Marble League 2021.
After their trip, the Sliders returned to Aslipi to train. They remembered their struggles on the sand so they set aside a location on the beach to build a Sand Rally track. They decided to have a more balanced training program, rather than focusing so heavily on water sports.[2]
2021[]
In April, Splint received a call from Jelle explaining the qualification system for the Marble League had changed meaning the Sliders could compete in the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers. The team were excited to have the opportunity to compete, even if they were in a different group to their rivals, the Oceanics.
During the offseason the Sliders were invited to take part in the Marble League 2021 Practice Race, where Crush participated in a sand race, finishing 13th out of 28 racers from all current Marble League teams. The Sliders traveled to Felynia many times to train with the Crazy Cat's Eyes and get used to the climate.[2] Despite this, the Sliders nearly missed the Qualifiers after unfavorable flight conditions leading to cancellations as well as struggling to get a ride to the airport.[4]
In the Marble League 2021 Qualifiers, the Turtle Sliders had a poor start in the Swing Wave when one marble got zero points and the other three placed behind every member of the Green Ducks. On their second run, they did even worse, with two of the team getting zero points and the other two placing behind all members of the Green Ducks. This left them in 11th place in Group B. In Event 2, Funnel Endurance, Dash was selected to compete. Dash changed positions multiple times throughout the race but unfortunately they finished in ninth, keeping the team in 11th overall. In the third event, the 5 Meter Relay, they competed in the first heat. They had a poor start but in the last handoff they edged into the lead for a split second, but the Shining Swarm overtook them and won by 0.016 seconds. The Turtle Sliders ending up in fourth and this moved them to eighth in the overall standings. In the fourth and final event, the Sand Rally, Crush got into an early lead before hitting an obstacle on the track and falling to 11th. They sat in 11th for a while but slowly made their way up to eighth before making a charge up to fourth. They then got into second, behind the Pinkies. Near the end, the Pinkies hit the wall and slowed down, giving Crush an opening. Unfortunately they failed to take it and they finished in fourth. The Sliders finished in tenth overall, failing to qualify for Marble League 2021, only four points away from qualifying.
In the Marble League Showdown 2021, the team looked to be equaling their previous performances with a tenth and eighth place finish in the first two events, the 5 Meter Sprint and Funnel Endurance. After a respectable sixth place finish in the 5 Meter Relay, the team got bronze in Block Pushing, their first ever podium. This was immediately followed by a silver by Dash in the Triathlon, bringing the team up to third overall, the teams highest ever position in the Marble League Showdown. This was followed by another sixth place in Diving and the team's worst ever finish to date, a 12th in the Sand Mogul Race. In the final event, Marblocross, Crush finished in fifth. Unfortunately, it was not enough to prevent the Sliders from finishing in the bottom half in seventh overall, two places higher than any of their previous Showdowns.
After finishing the Showdown, the Turtle Sliders returned to the 2021 Seven Seas Circuit, which they won for the second year in a row.[5]
2022[]
Marbula One Season 3[]
The Turtle Sliders once again hosted the Crazy Cat's Eyes in Aslipi. While they were visiting, they received a letter from JMR. The Cat's Eyes knew what the invite was but didn't give it away as the Sliders opened the letter. Once revealing that it was an invite to compete in Marbula One Season 3, the Sliders and Cat's Eyes celebrated together. The Sliders accepted the invite and chose Crush "Bomb Shell"and Dash "Shell Raiser" as their racers.[5]
The day finally came, and Dash was chosen to be the first marble to compete for the team at Tumult Turnpike Grand Prix. They started great as they managed to fight for a podium spot the whole race, but unfortunately lost it on the very final corner and finished in 4th. However, they finished their next two race dead last, thus dropping them to 11th. The next three races had them advanced to Q2, but all three saw them fall down the order and finish no higher than 10th. At the end of the first half, they only score 29 points, sitting at 17th on the teams’ standings.
After a short break, the seventh race came, the Momotorway Grand Prix, and Dash once again competed for the team. They got really nervous as if they’ll disappoint their fans again, even though they started in P5. After being encouraged by their friend, Yellow Eye, as well as their teammate and their coach, Dash soon gained their confidence back and was ready to race. Dash started well in the first two laps, and in the third lap, for the first time, they were leading the field. They held this place until losing it on lap 9 to Shimmer. They patiently wait, and on the conveyor belt of the penultimate lap, they took back the lead and held on until they crossed the finish line. For the first time in their career, they won their first-ever gold medal. The team couldn’t hold their joy of finally being able to stand on the top of the podium. This gold medal shot the team’s position up to 7th, and Dash also got up to 5th on the Individual standing. The joy didn't last long though, as they scored no points for the next two races, before getting another 4th after Crush had a hard fight for the podium spot in the Electron Expressway Grand Prix. Both Dash and Crush didn’t end their season well, getting 17th and 15th in their final race respectively. The Turtle Sliders ended the season in 14th on the teams’ standings with Dash managing to finish in the top half at 17th. Even though they didn’t finish as well as they hoped, it was still better than finishing in dead last where many people predicted they would finish at.
Marble League 2022[]
The Turtle Sliders were sorted into Group A for the 2022 Qualifiers, They did not have a good start though as they finished dead last in Climbing. Shelly was chosen for the 5 Meter Hurdles where they started out great but the other teams in the heat caught up to them, which led to them finishing last and only managed ninth. Balancing wasn't much better, as the Turtle Sliders finished seventh. The team were in eleventh going into the final event, needing a win to qualify. Dash was chosen for the Triathlon but unfortunately was pushed off the track by Gnome of the Kobalts, causing them to DNF and finish dead last. The Turtle Sliders once again failed to qualify for the Marble League after finishing last in their group.
The team found themselves back in the Showdown and started out with a seventh place in Swing Wave. This was followed with ninth place by Frank in the 5 Meter Sprint. These two mediocre results put them in eighth overall. Dash managed a fourth place in the Water Race keeping consistent, before winning their first gold medal of their showdown carreer in the 5 Meter Relay. The Turtle Sliders ended the first half of the Showdown in third with a high chance at making the overall podium. The second half begun with a good points haul of fourth in Block Pushing. Dash however only finished twelfth in the Funnel Endurance, but they stayed in third overall. Shelly and Sqiurt came eighth for Climbing, but they were eliminated from winning the showdown. They could still fight for the podium spots and had a 3 point lead over Team Momo for the podium. Unfortunately, Crush only managed thirteenth in the Sand Rally and with Momomomo of the aforementioned Team Momo crossing in seventh, the team fell off the podium to fourth place. They were still happy though as this finish was the Turtle Sliders' best overall result in a tournament.
Turtle Sliders then took part in an offseason event, the Xmas Marble Race. Crush, the captain, was the chosen representative, however only came sixth in their heat of eight and were thus eliminated. They finished 21st overall.
2023[]
Although the team won a race in the previous Marbula One season, they weren't given the opportunity to compete in the upcoming Marbula One Season 4 due to inconsistencies in other races. Although the Turtle Sliders were upset they couldn't prove themselves, they were instead invited to 'Starbula One', a small five event tournament put on by the Indigo Stars for all twelve uninvited teams.[6]
Beginning with the Starbula One Circuit GP, Dash was the obvious choice as they managed to qualify in P3 for the race, only behind Marbula One veterans Snowy and Yellow. Unfortunately, they drained their stamina too quickly and slowly began losing positions in the race, ending in a measly 10th. The next event would be a Street Race where Crush was able to stay within the top-half for most of the race, eventually finishing 4th, just behind Snowstorm of the Snowballs for a medal. Regardless, the Turtle Sliders had now risen to sixth tied on points with the Purple Rockets as well as hosts, Indigo Stars. However, they were unable to continue the forward momentum and returned low placements by coming 12th and 8th in the Five-Star Relay and Asteroid Field respectively. The final event consisted of an Elimination Race, where they could only manage 9th. This string of poor performances left the Turtle Sliders sitting in last place by the conclusion of the tournament, not the result they were hoping for.[6]
Marble League 2023[]
The Sliders remained with their heads held high and aimed for qualificaton into the 2023 Marble League. After getting sorted in Group B, the Turtle Sliders shocked everyone by winning the first event, Honeycomb Team Pursuit. For the 5 Meter Sprint, Crush placed an underwhelming ninth, but the team only fell to second overall. Another team event faced them, in the form of the Legion March Wave but this time, came on the opposite end of the standings in twelfth. What's worse is that if they were in the other group, the Sliders' result would have given third overall instead. With one event to go and sitting in seventh, the Turtle Sliders hopes of qualifying had once again alluded them and after Shelly only mustered tenth for the Funnel Endurance, their worst fears became a reality. Instead of gaining a position into a qualification spot, the team went the opposite way down to eighth and failed to qualify by seven points.
Returning for the 2023 Showdown, the tournament opened with the Honeycomb Team Pursuit. The Turtle Sliders were predicted to do well after topping their Group in the qualifiers for it. Despite the previous success however, the team finished third in their heat and were unable to advance, only two hundredths of a second behind the Chocolatiers for a spot in the semifinals. After the event concluded, the team's heat ended up being the fastest heat of the day, with their time clocking in as the fourth fastest recorded, making it slightly annoying that they were unable to progress any further.

Trivia[]
- The Turtle Sliders have a rivalry with the Oceanics.
- Crush and Squirt are presumably named after the sea turtles from Disney-Pixar's Finding Nemo.
- The Turtle Sliders are one of two currently active JMR teams that have yet to compete in a Marble League. The other is the Purple Rockets.
- They are also one of three active teams to never qualify for a Marble League through a qualifier. The other three teams are the Kobalts, and the Purple Rockets.
