How to unlock the Marble-fu Transcendent achievement in Marble Blast Ultra - Definitive Guide
Tips for Schadenfreude (Level 60):
Took me such a long time to finish the last level... I will try to give a few pointers:
When you start off, drop down and pick up the gravity modifier.
Take the lift on this platform up a level and grab the super-jump.
Face the rest of the board. The two closest gems to you are on an H platform with two blocks going back and forth. In the middle of the H is a gem on top and on bottom. Roll off onto the platform that the H is connected to. Roll down the left side when you get the chance, and move SAFELY onto the middle bar joining both sides (making the center of the H). From here, get the top gem, and roll SLOWLY off the ledge to get the bottom gem. Once you have the bottom gem, use the super-jump to get across. (NOTE: It might take some time to get the timing for this down, but if you've gotten to level 60, I trust you can do this!)
This is where it gets hard to help...
From the next platform, you've either landed on the first or second platform (of four). On the top of the fourth is a gem, but you won't be getting that yet. There is a platform that moves from 1st to 3rd, and one that moves from 3rd to 4th. Get on the one that goes from 1st to 3rd, and stay on. Once it gets to the 3rd, use the momentum of the platform and jump to collect the gem on the BOTTOM of the fourth platform.
If you've fallen off the platform here and gone back down a level, ride the platforms up to the top and get the 4th gem.
Again, a little harder to explain...
From the 4th gem (on the 4th platform) you have collected, roll off to the RIGHT (assuming you got off from the platform and basically went straight) TWO platforms. You should get a checkpoint and see a gravity modifier before you.
Use the gravity modifier and take in your surroundings. There is a platform that comes down, and you will take it up to the topmost platform. There should be a super-jump here. Get it.
If you're worried about starting over, you should see a checkpoint if you move to the corner of the platform closest to the rest of the board. Drop down, get it, and ride the platform back up.
You will want to either use a jump-blast combo or use the momentum of the elevator platform to make it to the VERY TOP platform on this side. You will see bumbers and another long platform infront of you.
Move across the platform, jump to get the gem, and then IMMEDIATELY user the super-jump. You should land safely on the other side, on any level.
Move back to the beginning gravity modifier you got, use it, get on the elevator, and grab the super-jump like before. Now move down a few levels going the direction of the gem until you encounter another checkpoint. (This took me a few tries, so I recommend this one).
Now, move across the furthest little catwalk on the left, and time your rolls right to get the gem. Once you have it, super-jump across to the OPPOSITE side you left from. (Here is where there can be variation. Get the gem in whatever way is comfortable to you, but be sure to jump to the other side!)
After getting the gem, and assuming you are on the opposite side, take the platforms up until you find a super-jump. Use this and one of the catwalks to make it across the board onto the other side.
Make your way down to the initial gravity modifier again, and then take the platform back up. Once you're on the platform with the superjump, you can either jump-blast or superjump into the finish above.
Congrats, you've completed the level!
I will try to work on getting a youtube link up for you. I hope my explanation at least helps people get those first two gems, because the one on the bottom can really cause problems! I was following another guide to try and get the gems, when I tried my method above and it cut off about 2 minutes of struggling!
Good luck!

You didn't even say what level this is for...

Thanks, I was in a hurry to jot down what I'd just done. Hope this makes it clearer now!

Do all the adanced levels under par time. This is probably the most difficult achievement and will take the longest because a couple of the levels are difficult but once you get the hang of the marble you should be able to do it.
