Hi there if you are reading this new thread, this is to essentially compile every update summary post from before and any future to its own dedicated thread since the name "Other Categories" can get confusing with "Category Suggestions."

That is all, have a good time reading these notes.

Season 3 is Out, Here Are Some Changes

• The extra Stage Challenge missions now have Frozen Factory Survival (Why) and Starlight Carnival Ring Battle 2 and it seems like each season is going to add 2 more stages to that section of the game.
• All Run Stages is affected from 2 more stages being added into the pool (Planet Wisp Run 1 and Planet Wisp Run 2) making the level count go from 33 to 35 and adding ~3 minutes to that run.
• All Survival Stages is affected from Godzilla Survival being added and adding I think ~30 seconds to that run. (Note: I'm still figuring out the quirks of what would be allowed for this category)
• Unstoppable Dash is in the shop and Bomb Dash is this season's stamp reward, not anything worth noting with the current rules but will be useful knowledge if an unrestricted run gets added and also just useful in general for multiplayer matches

(March 3rd 2026)

Season 4 is Out, Here Are Some Changes

• No new stages for either the season, Custom Matches, or Stage Challenge, honestly quite surprising.
• New Purple rarity Movement + Midair skill, Spiral Kick, works very similar to Air Dash but has an added attack bonus, pretty useful for Run and Team stages.

Unrelated to the Speedrun

• The UI is still the same for both mobile and pc; same with what Rumble+ gives, hopefully going to be added (as well as some other community requested features) later in March but still sucks that its the case.
• We finally have red rings in the non premium pass with the amount of 25 being present, pog.
• Yellow Drill is this season's stamp reward, basically Unstoppable Dash but with an added attack feature, very powerful for multiplayer matches.

And that's all, happy rumbling.

Season 4.5 Adjustments (coming on the 16th) related to speedrun categories

• Not sure if I'm allowed to spoil but we have two stages in stage challenge, so v1.5 will probably be a category. Also on the side, stage challenge rewards have changed from tune up wrenches to red rings (5 per level up)
• We have two more run stages for ARS (this I can spoil because it was part of the direct), Planet Wisp Run 3 and Smurf Run (although that stage is not in custom match so maybe another time), I have no idea how long this will increase the run's length.

Lastly, what are our thoughts on Party Rumble do we consider it a seperate category if we have a way to make custom matches for that gamemode?

Season 5 is Out, Here Are Some Changes

• The New Stage Challenge stages are Chemical Plant Hunt and Desert Ruins Ring Battle.
• New Purple rarity Ring Absorption Skill, Air Ring Swipe. Compared to its grounded counter parts its range isn't as good but hey now you can do the funny double ring swipe in Seaside Hill Ring Battle.
• Wonderland Run, Wonderland Hunt, and Planet Wisp Ring Battle 2 has been added to Custom Match and online in general

Unrelated to the Speedrun

• Avatar Legendary Skills have been nerfed, reducing the movement speed for Cyclone Dash and movement based Legendary Skills as a whole and removing the multi hit from Charge Blast
• Various Character Skills have been tweaked, the most important one is that Sting Barrage got nerfed from 30 rings a hit to 15.
• Cross Slash is this season's stamp reward, an alright projectile and interesting Frontiers Reference but I don't know if its worth obtaining as a legendary ability.

And that's all, happy rumble partying.

MASSIVE CHANGES FOR SEASON 6

• The New Stage Challenges are Sky Sanctuary Run 2 and Green Hill Run 3
• There's now an in game timer and score tracker (how did this appear in Rumble first over Mario Kart or CrossWorlds) that will display for stage challenge missions, it'll count down in missions that are on a timer and up for Survival and Ring Battle stages

Custom Match

• The new stages are Desert Ruins Run 3, Pinball Carnival Survival, and Frozen Factory Ring Battle 3 (also appears in multiplayer)
• Smurf Run has appeared in the Run Stages selection
• Party Rumble stages have appeared, I'll test these stages sometime this week to see if I can make a run thats appealing

Skill Changes (Avatar only)

Epics (Tested from lvl 6 counterparts):

• Race Car's length has increased from 9 tiles to 11 tiles, can jump cancel up to 19 tiles
• Baseball Slide has increased from 4 to 6 tiles, can jump cancel up to 13 and a half tiles
• Air Dash has increased 3 tiles to 5 on ground, 6 tiles to 9 from air, can jump cancel up to 13 tiles (finally this thing is no longer overshadowed by baseball slide)
• Dodge Roll's length has increased from 3 tiles to 4 and can jump cancel to 10 tiles

Legendaries (Tested from Lvl 5 counterparts):

• Cyclone Dash's length has increased from 6 tiles to 7 tiles (not a joke)
• Yellow Drill's length has increased from 9 and a half tiles to 12 tiles
• Unstoppable Dash has a movement buff and also increased length from 9 tiles to 12 tiles
• Bomb Dash's length has increased from 9 tiles to 11 tiles

Unrelated to the speedrun

• Fragments have changed, legendary characters can be grabbed for 3 fragments and epic characters can range from 2 to 4 in the Daily Claw Machine
• New Purple skill is Karate Punch, just an invincibility punch so not that great
• New Legendary skill is Air Kick, think of it as a Baseball Slide you can trigger mid air that has a dive kick like jump cancel (at level 6), and has an attack with it; it is as broken as it sounds

That is all for now, happy Rumble Partying

(June 25th 2026)

Season 7 is Out, Here Are Some Changes

• All Run Stages has been added to the Leaderboard Categories

• The New Stage Challenge stages are Chemical Plant Survival (ok) and Silent Forest Ring Battle (ok).

Custom Match

• Sweet Mountain Run 3 and Desert Ruins Ring Battle 2 has been added to Custom Match and Ring Survival. Reminder: Do not do Sweet Mountain Run 3 in ARS v1.6.0 and only play it in ARS v1.6.1+
• Party Rumble has added Waterslide Mayham (A variant of Frozen Factory Hunt without Egg Pawns) & Capsule Chaos (A variant of Sweet Mountain Ring Battle with a different pattern)

Unrelated to the Speedrun

• The New Epic Skill is Clap Attack. It sure is an epic attack skill.
• The New Legendary Skill is Charged Shockwave, a longer Ring Swipe variant that has invincibility and can knockback opponents by pressing the skill again to cancel out of the skill early.
• As far as I'm aware nothing was changed regarding run speed or skills this update which is good since that means the devs believe the game is balanced.

That's all, don't forget to log in for 150 rsr + 300 omni fragments for a skin of your choice Happy Rumble Partying.

(July 6th 2026)

Discord member pointed out there isn't a "More Stages Coming Soon" display after Silent Forest Ring Battle, perhaps this may be the end of Stage Challenge if there isn't anything added next season.

Edit: I should've noted sooner the devs said this was a visual bug but hey based on patch notes released 3 hours before they should've, its true.

(July 24th 2026)

Season 8 is Out, Here Are Minor Changes

• The New Stage Challenge stages are Chemical Plant Run 3 and Seaside Hill Run 3. Good that it was only a visual bug since people were concerned about ways to obtain red rings still.

Custom Match

• Chemical Plant Run 4 and Seaside Ring Battle 2 has been added to Custom Match and Ring Survival. Reminder: Do not do Chemical Plant Run 4 in ARS v1.6.0 and only play it in ARS v1.6.1+
• Party Rumble has added Conveyor Belt Chaos (A variant of Starlight Carnival Survival with a different pattern) & Swirling Magma Sprint (A variant of Lava Mountain Survival 2), honestly good maps added to this mode, better than the hunt or ring battles we've been getting.

Unrelated to the Speedrun

• There is no new Epic Skill, weird decision but ok
• The New Legendary Skill is Super Baseball Slide, a Baseball Slide that can trigger up to 4 times by pressing the coresponding skill button. Aside from Air Kick being dead in a ditch this does make me even more curious about an unrestricted run so I might mess around with it this season.
• Nothing was changed regarding run speed though projectile skills were buffed besides Cross Slash which got nerfed to be alright of an option.

That's all, there might be 50 red rings in the mailbox since maintanance ended an hour early.

Happy Rumble Partying

Season 9 is Out, Here Are Minor Changes

• The New Stage Challenge stages are Seaside Hill Survival 2 and Sky Sanctuary Ring Battle 2. Pretty nothingburger selections hopefully we get more hunt stages soon.

Custom Match

• Pinball Carnival Run 3 and Chemical Plant Team (holy a new team stage) has been added to Custom Match and Ring Survival. Reminder: Do not do Pinball Carnival Run 3 in the current ARS stage set and only play it when ARS v1.6.2+ comes out
• Party Rumble has added Flower Frenzy (Silent Forest Hunt) & Tornado Trouble (Desert Ruins Survival), kinda missed when they did original levels for this mode hopefully they do more of that soon.

Unrelated to the Speedrun

• There is no new Epic Skill again nor is there a stamp skill, interesting.
• The returning Legendary Skills are Charge Blast and Bubble Shield found in the ring shop for 500,000 rings each. (Honestly prefer this over 3200 skill stars)
• Charge Blast is an area of effect skill that knocks back anybody in its range while siphoning 40 rings. (20 second recharge)
• Bubble Shield floats you up in the air after activating for 5 seconds I think, alright skill if you’re struggling on survival but not great once you learn the maps
• Nothing was changed regarding balancing so we’ll wait for next season.

And that’s all, they also readjusted the red ring shop to be condensed and ring shop to have pre season content so make sure you check those out if you haven’t.

Happy Rumble Partying
