Super Ball 2022 Recap
– February 17 –

Spoilers Ahead for the Super Ball 2022 events! (Feel free to click the videos and watch them before reading further)

This week was all around Super. We’ve had speedrun races for a couple years now – but this past weekend really added the effort and organization to take it to the next level. The Super Ball event is on a competition and presentation trajectory that has us all pumped for what comes next! My personal vote is for half-time shows, but we’ll see what the community cooks up next time.

Below, you’ll see the uploads of Super Ball 2022 split into two parts: Open Division and The Invitational. Final finishing times for each competitor are listed, as well as the prize awards for each prize set!

A round of applause for Agedude, Sevadra, Glooten, and Hatchet for working to produce this event and all its moving parts!

And while we get our Community Spotlight warmed up and dusted off for the Invitational winner… we have other news to cover! We recap the past few challenges, highlight individual level world records, pass a custom level milestone, and more.

3, 2, 1, Go!
