Jack Spero is a youtuber who makes marble races in Algodoo. His main series is "The Amazing Marble Race", but he also does things such as Beat the boss marble race, and Algicosathlon.

Jack Spero and his videos contain examples of:

  • Anti-Frustration Features: In the first part of TAMR season 7 there is a spinning bar that slows down after time, making it easier to pass.
  • Audience Participation: The fan marble races are live streams where viewers pick marbles to represent them.
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • Magenta became the butt monkey of the whole marble race community after taking a long time to finish in Jack Spero's Algicosathlon.
    • Sand dollar was the first to be eliminated in Season 6 and Season 7 of The Amazing Marble Race.
  • Comeback Mechanic: A lot of the races have obstacles that marbles attempt over and over until they pass. This allows for a lot of comebacks and close finishes.
  • The Faceless: Jack did not ever show his face until 2019, and even then he never showed his face a lot. It's Justified though because his face is unimportant to the marble races.
  • Laughably Evil: Magenta is also portrayed as evil at times as a joke, specifically done in Beat the boss marble race.
  • Nintendo Hard: The courses are this, especially towards the end of the season.
  • There Can Be Only One: The concept of TAMR is that marbles are eliminated every episode.
  • The Voiceless: This is the same case as his face, except he now uses his voice a lot more frequently.
