The leaderboard is updated whenever a player gets a new record time. Additionally, if the player has Xbox Live connection, their best time will show on a leaderboard where players worldwide can compare their best times. There is a par time set for each of the levels, and if the player beats the level under par time, the player will earn achievements based on how many levels they successfully completed under par time. Many of these levels (such as 'Survival of the Fittest', 'Natural Selection', and 'Ordeal') are recycled from Marble Blast Gold. They are divided into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels, each category containing twenty levels. There are sixty single player levels that can be completed by the player. Obstacles will hinder the player's progress, but powerups are also provided to help the player finish the level.


In Single player mode, the player has the main goal of reaching the finish pad of the level as fast as possible.

In Marble Blast Ultra players navigate a marble through obstacles and gaps to reach the finish in sixty levels.
