Introduction

Takeshi's Castle was a Japanese game show that aired between 1986 and 1990.
This show has become a cult television hit around the world and my personal favorite to watch during my exams.
Hope you enjoy some of my favorite parts!

Avalanche

Players race up a narrow gully, and must avoid being crushed by polystyrene boulders. Contestants try and hide in cubbyholes in the gulley's side, but they contain members of Takeshi's Gundan who attempt to push them out into the boulder's path.

Mushroom Trip

Players cling to the stem of a giant fungus, and try to reach a platform at the other end of a lake. There was only one gap in the mushroom: men must hold on from this space one-handed, while women can hold a rope around the mushroom. The mushroom spins as it goes across, making it harder to land on the platform.

Show of hands

People are dressed as giant hands. A math question is asked, and contestants have to find the answer (many numbers are written on cards on the floor) and fall face first on the correct one.

A little different, dressed as baseballs they have to catch a baseball.

Knock Knock, my favorite!

This round is really the most fun one, I rofl every time. Contestants are confronted with four sets of walls with four possible doors each, covered with paper. One or two have wooden walls and the other are just paper. Contestants must run full-tilt at the door of their choice and either break through without painfully bouncing off a solid door.

Bridge Ball

Players cross a rope bridge, holding a gold-coloured leather volleyball, whilst henchmen fire black volleyballs at the contestant, who is eliminated if they fall off.

Skipping Stones

Speaks for himself

Fish Food

Contestants ride on a board as it goes across a conveyor belt. They must jump over pink fish, and crouch underneath sharks.

AND MANY MORE !!

Whut?

Last but not least, this beauty

In the US version, "Skipping Stones" is called Sinkers and Floaters. But my personal fave (for its name) is Irritable Bowl Syndrome

My favorite Sinkers and Floaters was where the first stone was fake and the dude practically jumps head first into the lake.

You're thinking MXC...which was a dubbed over, purely comedic take on the show. Calling it Sinkers and Floaters was intentional.
