Giant Ball

Giant Ball was a short-lived event on Kinniku Banzuke.

The event consisted of five sections or obstacles, which the competitors must traverse while riding atop the titular giant red ball. If the competitor falls off the giant ball, they are disqualified and fail the event. Likewise, any instance of the ball falling off the orange track was also counted as a failure.

This event had no champions crowned; not a single compeititor managed to reach even the Final Bridge.

Obstacles
Downward Slope - A short slope angled very slightly downwards.

Pothole Zone - A wide, flat plane with seven shallow holes arranged in an archaic manner. If the ball ended up stuck in any one of the holes, the competitor had ten seconds to get the ball out and back on track while remaining on top, else they be disqualified.

Sloping Right Turn - A reprise of the Downward Slope, without the additional flat area of the Pothole Zone afterwards.

Uphill Slope - A long, steeply ascending slope, in the vein of other similar obstacles like those in the Hand Walk events.

Final Bridge - A semi-long, extremely thin bridge the competitor must carefully guide the ball across, another trend of Banzuke events, followed by a short wider path to the ending hole, where presumably the competitor would slot the ball and complete the challenge. This obstacle was never attempted.

Time limit: Unlimited

Results
No competitor reached all the way to the end.
