Marbles The Game: Tuck and Roll

Marbles The Game: Tuck and Roll is a 2017 platform game that is the second instalment to the Marbles The Game series. It's developed by Clever Game Making and published by Clever Games.

Plot
After the death of King Domino in Marbles The Game, the Prime Minister of the King Domino Foundation learns about a ghost who can grant wishes. Determined to bring his dead king back to life, he gets the help of an explorer while bringing his troops over to Hawaii Island to set the ghost free from his crystal ball. After setting him free, the ghost offers a deal that he'll grant the Prime Minister's wish if his army help him to invade Hawaii Island and bring all of their jewels to him. The Domino Army then started invading Hawaii Island and captured all of the fairy villagers while they were searching for the jewels the ghost was looking for.

While the invasion was happening, Cherry and his friends are on a cruiser travelling to Hawaii Island as part of their holiday in order to have a break from the war against the dominoes. When they arrived, they were surprised that the dominoes were at Hawaii Island causing trouble yet again. Thinking that this was the work of King Domino (who Cherry didn't know was deceased at the time), they go on another adventure to get to the castle.

When they arrived at the castle and got to the throne room, they were stunned to learn that it was a ghost that was commanding the dominoes to do his dirty work rather than King Domino. The marbles then fight against the ghost, eventually defeating him forcing the dominoes to retreat back to Domino Town with the captured fairies being set free.

The fairies congratulated the marbles and they finally got to rest in Hawaii Island as they plan to do.

Story Mode
Players go into levels through a world map and have to finish them under the time limit in order to advance to the next level. Levels have Marble Coins which can be collected to buy items or characters. Collecting 100 of them in a row grants the player an extra life. Each level has 3 Star Coins to collect which are hidden in certain areas of a level.

Some levels may have additional challenges that can be accomplished after progressing through the game, such as Catch the Thief or Race Mr Speedy.

Race Mode
Race Mode allows you to replay levels that have been beaten in the Story Mode with game modes that test your speed. VS modes allow for up to 2-4 players locally and 2-8 players through local wireless.


 * Time Trial: Get to the end of the goal as fast as possible. You can also compete against the time of other players from the Internet and upload your time to the online leaderboard.
 * VS - Race: Race against other marbles and be the first one at the goal to win.
 * VS - Catch: The marbles have to catch the thief who is running away. The one who gets him first wins. If the thief gets away, the game ends in a draw.
 * VS - Collect: The marbles have to collect as much Marble Coins as possible and get to the goal before the timer runs out resulting in a draw. Once someone has reached to the goal, the player with the most Marble Coins wins.

Challenge Mode
In Challenge Mode, players can play challenges that require a task to be completed in order to get either a bronze, silver, or gold trophy depending on their performance. The objectives vary from different challenges, such as collecting all the Star Coins to get to the goal as fast as possible, or finishing a level without collecting any number or Marble Coins. Certain challenges allow you to upload your score to the online leaderboard.

Online Mode
Players can play either Story Mode with their friends or the VS modes of Race Mode against other players from around the world or their friends.

In Story Mode, if a player wants one of their friends to join their game, they can use Invitation Requests to send a rocket to their friend’s game so one of their marbles can hop in and join the inviter’s game.

Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version, players can use their Amiibo to unlock Nintendo-themed marbles or get items like Marble Coins or extra lives. Players can also use their Amiibo while in the world map to quickly switch to the marble from that Amiibo.
