I don't think those rails are magnetic. If we assume the balls have a non-conducting outer layer such as glass or skin, it's easy to believe that rolling over that wood, they gather a static charge. Or, the entire wood floor might have a static charge. After all, it absolutely isn't grounded.

If those rails have an opposite static charge, they will attract the ball like a rubbed balloon is attracted by a wool sweater.

Although, those balls look kinda heavy. Unless they are way smaller than actual marbles, I'd expect to see sparks whenever they get close to the rails. A lot of charge is needed to keep them hanging there. Hmm...

The description of Saturn reminds me of your mom.

Anyway, voting for cat. It's about time for a cute ball.

What did he say about voting for the secret levels? I forgot.

IIRC, if you want to give him a real challenge, keep some of the harder balls available for the secret levels.

Frog, UFO, Watermelon.

And afterwards a short round-up video where you show how the other marbles handle. :)
