Bela, In the first scene of Marble Madness, if you jump accross and land on one of the numbers it leaves a spot. Got any ideas what this is for!? Is it part of the game, or just a bug? Thought I'd ask you since you seem to be good at it. Curious, John

I'ts part of the game… It's like doing a long jump into a sand pit. The spot is so you can see where you landed. –>Steve Bennett

It's a bonus to keep advanced players from complaining about the first screen. If you jump and land on the numbered arrows, you get a bonus of 1000 points times your landing position measured against the numbers. The splotch shows where you landed. Try it! >Bela<
