List of Common Mistranslations

A Japanese game show which has been translated into English and has an English language Wiki is going to run into translation issues. This page will make an attempt to clear some of these misconceptions up.

When translating SASUKE, G4 understandably translated all Japanese obstacle names into English; "Sextuple Step," "Rolling Log," "Warped Wall" and the vast majority of others are pretty accurate translations, so they are not part of this list. Also omitted are names that do not include an extra vowel or punctuation mark accounting for an elongation, for example Urushihara Yuuji or Ōmori Akira.

For the sake of this page, all obstacle names that use Japanese words will appear here in English and name tense will be reversed (like Ninja Warrior's subtitles) with links to their pages (which have their correct Japanese titles).
