Nickelodeon Guts - Global Guts

In 1995, Nickelodeon produced an international spinoff, Global Guts, featuring contestants from various countries, including the United States of America, Mexico, United Kingdom, Israel, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (simply referred to as "CIS" on air, this included only Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. Although the countries had multiple contestants, no country was ever represented twice in a single episode.) Each country had its own team of broadcasters; O'Malley retained this role for the US broadcast. The format remained identical to the original version, but the Mega Crag was upgraded to the Super Aggro Crag. In the "Spill Your Guts" segments, for players from non-English-speaking countries, an interpreter was used.

Taping of Global Guts took place from July 12 to August 15, 1995, and episodes began airing September 5, 1995.

Medal presentations were also accompanied by the raising of flags and the playing of the national anthem of the winning country, and a victory lap by the contestants, draped in the flags of their home countries.. A medal count was also tabulated at the beginning of each episode, similar to the Olympics.
