This round, like the camera in Monkey Ball 2, turned out to be all over the place.
Garlips claims victory, beating Big Captain by under three minutes, followed by Kylorian in third. And that's not the only close call upset this round: Mr Matt beat Octobot by 6 minutes, and Q has bested me by just 2 minutes. Garlips shoots into the first place, being the only competitor so far to claim gold for the second time. In contrast, our two champions, Octobot and Marcman, are yet to breach the top 3 placements of any individual round, but their consistency and tenacity are keeping them pinned towards the top of the season standings anyway, with just one point apart.
A warm welcome to our newest competitor, Adriennes_Revenge, and commendations to h3oCharles for continuing the struggle in other games after his overwhelming performance in the previous round! Overall, we've got 18 submissions this time, which isn't quite the most we've ever had, but it's getting close!!
