Kinniku Banzuke - Courses

Courses

Courses that are defeated are then recreated in an attempt to be made more difficult and thus "Unbeatable". This is why there are different versions (I, II, III, IV, V) next to some names. Sometimes an obstacle is changed between attempts to conquer this game. This is why there are letters (A, B) next to the versions. This is most likely done because of the injuries caused by this obstacle. Some of these events have "break zones", where any competitor who reaches that point is allowed to take a 30-second break before they must continue on with the course.

• Amazing Road -- Competitors must cross a 15 metre long suspended beam while avoiding 6 turnstiles fitted with padded bars that can knock them off.
• Athletic Love (El Amor Atlético) -- Two people of a couple stand at either end of a bridge-like construct. They have 60 seconds to reach the center without falling off or using their hands. This challenge has had 2 victories.
• Bamboo Derby (Hongo de Bambú) (On Ultimate Banzuke renamed: "Walking Tall") I, IIA, IIB, III—Obstacle course where competitors walk on stilts. Between IIA and IIB, Green Mountain was changed to the harder Snow Mountain before being changed back into Green Mountain. This challenge has had 2 victories.
• Banzai 90 -- A 6-person team has 90 seconds to launch one of their own onto each of four padded logs hanging several feet above the floor.

This challenge has had 4 victories.

• Ottoto 9 -- Obstacle course where competitors balance a metal pole on two fingers (hands in US Version). This obstacle is similar to Steady Voyage in Viking, The Ultimate Obstacle Course. Letting your pole fall or touch any metal obstacle results in failure. This course has a break zone. This challenge has had 1 victory.
• Quick Muscle -- (On Ultimate Banzuke renamed: "Push Up Showdown") Two competitors have to do as many push-ups as they can in 3 minutes. The one who does more at the end of 3 minutes is declared the champion. Any time a competitor uses improper form, the penalty light goes on, deactivating that competitor's counter for 10 seconds. By design, there is a victory each time the challenge is played; all five wins were achieved by the same competitor. In one of them, a contender bit his lips hard enough to bleed, marking the first time to show blood in that show.

• Sponge Bridge I, II, III—Competitors have to walk atop three rows of giant foam blocks, each harder than the last. This was based on the Takeshi's Castle game 'Dominoes', and has also been used as 'Domino Hill' in stage 3 of KUNOICHI.
