Early Morph#
On February 21, 2026, Moshe, a member of the original Marble Blast Platinum development team who designed several levels for the game, found an old iBook G4 with several files from Marble Blast Platinum development. Included in these screenshots is a very early screenshot of the Advanced level Morph. The screenshot was dated October 2007, and the level has several changes compared to the final:
- The entire level uses textures from Marble Blast Gold.
- The massive tower seen in the final is nowhere to be found here.
- The skybox is different, as the Terragen skyboxes seen in the final were not created yet.
