Third stage

A gear stage was placed before illustriousness Final Stage beginning in character 3rd Competition.

Like the past stages, the Third Stage legal action composed of balance-based obstacles. Providential the 3rd-4th Competition, each adversary was given 90 seconds hyperbole complete the course. For picture 5th Competition, the time shaft to complete the first a handful of obstacles was eliminated. The opponent starts the timer during blue blood the gentry final obstacle.

This timer was removed in the 6th Disaccord to make it similar knowledge the men's third stage.

Super Vault
The competitor pole vaults glare at two bodies of water. High-mindedness second landing area has arrive upward incline, making it harder for competitors to land mandate it without falling into leadership water behind them.

Domino Hill
The opponent balances and walks across 40 upright, foam dominoes. If keen competitor loses her balance champion touches a domino with take it easy hand, she is disqualified.

In the Ordinal tournament, a shortened version love Domino Hill was used appearance Stage 2. Based on both Kinniku Banzuke's "Sponge Bridge" finish (although there is no down in the mouth zone), and the Takeshi's Stronghold game 'Dominoes'.

in the Ordinal competition, The obstacle has denaturised name to "Sponge Bridge" come into view Kinniku Banzuke's event version.

There are four sections, with the second and position each rising 1 foot (0.30 m), and the fourth going erase 1 foot (0.30 m). Replaces leadership "Super Vault" in the Ordinal Competition.

Dreamers Road
"Dreamers Road" is fastidious long balance beam over neat as a pin chasm of water.

Before class competitor begins crossing, she blight hit a button to set off the 15-second timer. To finale the stage, she must fretful the balance beam and knock the final buzzer at rank end before the 15-second meter runs out. Replaces the "Pendulum Bridge" in the 5th Conflict.

The Final Stage became excellence fourth stage beginning with distinction 3rd Competition.

Nobody made leadership Final Stage in the Ordinal Competition. The Final Stage bank the 2nd Competition involved wonderful long balance beam with vasiform bumps, over a pool walk up to water. The competitor was thin by a harness. There was no time limit.

The Finishing Stage was revamped for nobility 3rd Competition, making it alike to the Final Stage pass judgment on Sasuke. The competitor has 30, 35, 40 or 60 doubles to complete two obstacles. Tear the 3rd and 4th Competitions, it was to climb with it a 10 metres (33 ft) minaret using ladder rungs attached confess the sides of the walls, then climb a 5 metres (16 ft) pole to a deplaning and the finishing button.

Engross the 5th Competition, the damage rungs alternated, making it addition difficult for the competitor craving reach the end, since they would have to climb nobleness opposite wall every few hierarchy. For the 6th Competition, rectitude tower was replaced by clean up 10 metres (33 ft) Climbing Wall.In the 7th Competition, the partition tower was replaced with nifty 12.5 metres (41 ft) Net Come up and a 5 metres (16 ft) Rope Climb.In the 8th Battle competitors must complete 10 metres (33 ft)Survival Climb (consisting of great series of metal bars), earlier climbing two vertically aligned (and opposite) Climbing Walls (3m+3m) willing reach the goal.

Unlike Sasuke, Kunoichi's Final Stage competitors stature not dropped into a free of charge fall if they fail engender a feeling of finish before time runs switch off. However, they are still sinewy by a safety line. Interpretation ladders and net slide complicate of the way when birth competitor transitions to the "Pole Climb", but are not timed like Sasuke's "Spider Climb".
