What other shortcut did I miss? I'll let vu pass because that's very impressive. 😮

Again, this is your level. Others’ opinions should be taken lightly, or not at all. Also, vu somehow managed to disregard the full route anyway. 🤭

Uploading an entirely new level to remove the Out-of-Bounds Triggers seems rather gratuitous, and I am fairly unconcerned about this now. Either choice is acceptable, and being demanding is the last thing I want.

"Have you heard of gem gates? https://marbleland.vaniverse.io/level/35877" Yes, but I haven't found a way to implement these without code involved. "I would rather have the level be destroyed in 3 seconds than have those Out-of-Bounds Triggers, especially considering the fastest skip would have you finish with the pad upside-down." I would argue that the player won't have any experience on the "𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘴" (which is what I would call them) or have any experience on the bumpers, however players that are performing these skips are professionals--so you are right in this case. I'll post a 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 without the OOBs if you 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 wanted the skips/shortcuts.

I am not sure how to create gem gates — but at the very least, it is better to have a breakable level than a level that actively uses triggers to preclude shortcuts.

“"I think the Out-of-Bounds Triggers spoiled the level. Again, it would be superb without them." I originally wanted gems in the level, but since it's technically a 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥 level, leaving gems on the center wouldn't work. (Since players will skip it.) Adding gems on the ramped trims 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 work, but doesn't look good. ” Have you heard of gem gates? https://marbleland.vaniverse.io/level/35877 Also, the level would be far better with extreme skips, so this is ridiculous.

"“I did a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 of vertice-dragging since face-dragging them won't work.” How?" It's really hard to explain with text--you might inspect the .dif file using Blender instead, or look at the underside of the ramped trims.

I think the Out-of-Bounds Triggers spoiled the level. Again, it would be superb without them. I almost wish you were incompetent at level creation — at least the levels would potentially be destructible. (As an unskilled level creator, you can clearly tell that my level design tends to embrace extreme skips, but whether that is better is entirely subjective.) While I detest shortcut-hindering Out-of-Bounds triggers (which is why I disrelish the level), it has some flow with the full route. I suppose creativity outshines gameplay, anyway.

You actually might be surprised! I did a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 of vertice-dragging since face-dragging them won't work.

The path curves inward instead of on a flat plane! While this is trivial without the ramped trim, I would like to know how you did that with it.

How did you create 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 types of curves with the ramped trim?

Fun fact: Or actually a sad fact: This level plays poorly on my PC--getting the peak FPS of 30-40 (with lowest settings and w/o background processes.)
