Marble Blast Gold revolves around controlling a colorful marble around different stages, with the goal of getting to the end pad while avoiding falling off the level. Some levels contain hazards to hinder the player’s progress and powerups to help you pass through or over various environments. In levels with gems, you must collect them all before you are allowed to complete the level. Some levels feature a Qualify Time, where you must finish the level in the allotted time limit, and all levels feature an optional Gold Time target; though, clearing these do not unlock anything.
