List of Challenges in Takeshi's Castle - P

P

• Pipe Down: A "Monsters' Special" game in which the costumed players must slide down a fabric tube slide to an opening below and land on a floating platform underneath the opening. Failure puts the player into muddy water. Called Intestinal Fortitude in the MXC version pitting real monsters against advertising mascots.

• Poles Apart: The object of the challenge is to pole vault across a moat from a high platform and land on a small pad. Named Pole Riders on MXC and El Gran Palillo Chino (The Big Chinese Chopstick) in Spain.

• Prod: A jousting game in which a player and a randomly chosen fighter are put onto platforms in the middle of a muddy pool, armed with lances (that have large punching bag-like stuffed ends). Whoever knocks the other into the water wins. MXC used a disease/medical them and called this game Staff Infectors. In Brazil, it was called Cotonete (Cotton swab, a reference to the lances' shape).

• Puck Over: Like Skittles, but this time the players are inside giant snowmen and a puck is slid down an icy slope at them. If they slide off the back of the ice area, then they are out. All about luck in this one.
