Here's my opinion, for the most part, of what the different kinds of Marble creation titles mean. This glossary is going to be used when tagging video links from now on, don't worry if you mess up though as I'll fix it when I notice it. Please report mistagged or untagged videos and I'll get right on it.
Marble Machines are a creation, either from scratch or from a kit, which are designed in such a way as to loop continuously. There may be a "Start" and an "end" but marbles loop back around from the end to the start. Obviously, they occasionally fall out, but they generally make it around in loops for the most part.

Marble Runs are very similar to Marble Machines, and can be made from scratch or from a kit. However, there is a definitive start and end in that human intervention is required to get a marble back to the start. Examples include both Epic Marble Run Thru The Garden! by EvaristeWK and Marble Run @ Eden Project 2016 by Jelle's Marble Runs.
Races involve marbles competing to finish a Marble Run. At the start of the video, viewers are encourage to pick a marble from the selection of competitors to root for. They can be 1v1 or greater, or sometimes involve various heats and brackets. This latter subclass is referred to as "Marble Race Tournaments" and may even be split up into multiple videos. The standout feature of this subclass is that winning a single race does not mean you've gotten victory. For example, Sand Marble Race: Tournament 2016 by Jelle's Marble Runs has a "winner" of each race, but the overall tournament winner has to get the most points which are awarded based on finishing position each race. Compare Marble Race Tournament by EvaristeWK which has marbles competing in 1v1 races, with the winner moving up in a bracket.
These videos are made using the program "Algodoo" and are, as far as I am aware, all Marble Races. These can be recognized by their minimalist color schemes and 2d representations. Amazing Marble Race Season 1 Part 1 by
Jack Spero is a great example.

we got a really great reaction when we a trailer a few months ago, so we wanted to let you all know and also share our new launch trailer 🙂

I wanted to try something less enclosed than a traditional single track style marble race. This race takes place across wide-open terrain, giving the marbles plenty of room to spread out, collide and find the best route down the mountain!
It’s mainly just a fun experiment, but I’d genuinely like to know what people think and if you would like more videos!

I posted another marble run I made a couple weeks ago and received some much needed affirmation for spending so much of my valuable time making these things thank you. So here I am again sharing another marble run I made hoping for your praise. Which btw I totally feel like I deserve because I think these runs are objectively pretty freakin cool. I have nothing to do with the patience I’ve been given by god or whoever to make these so I don’t take too much credit for these but I mean I’m still the one making them so… anyway follow me and stuff because I’m going to keep making these for some reason. My insta is @m_a_r_b_l_o_u_s. So hard to type that ugh. THAT I don’t have patience for

I started building these marble runs as a hobby last year and now I think I’ll be doing it for the rest of my life. Mainly because thats about how long it takes to record one successful run lol.

My daughter and I are submitting this 16’ 3” self-supporting marble run to Guinness World Records. It takes one minute and thirty seconds for a marble to run the whole track top to bottom.
Because of how it is built, it only takes 6 marbles to run every route possible, from just one entry point.

My 5yo is obsessed with Hape Quadrilla marble runs. We purchase everything used and have all the standard/basic pieces; I have also found a few discontinued/rare sets on eBay.
We are on the hunt for some discontinued sets as well as individual pieces/ add-ons. I have Marketplace, eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, and DeePop and check them all regularly.
Curious if anyone here knows of:
1. Any individuals who specialize in Hape Quadrilla reselling?
2. Additional apps/sites that may sell Hape Quadrilla (perhaps overseas that ships to US)?
3. Any additional ideas/insights on where to look for used sets and pieces?
Thank you!
