 This article is about a Marble Blast gameplay mechanic. |
Edge Hitting is a trick commonly used to beat levels quickly. To perform an edge hit, roll towards a gap at high speed. When the marble hits the edge at the end of the gap, it will accelerate upwards.
Some edge hits are done by jumping at a raised edge. For example, in the Ultimate Time path of Jump Tutorial, the player hits the edge of the step to get enough height to reach the finish. This can also be done at the top edge of a sign, and is called a sign hit.
