Rolling Escargot (ローリングエスカルゴ) is an obstacle originally introduced in SASUKE 26's First Stage. It was placed as the third obstacle, indirectly replacing Rolling Maruta from the previous tournament.
Competitors must latch onto a disk, facing the disk, holding onto handles and jamming their feet into toe clips. Then, they would start down the track, which was angled to the left for safety reasons, rotating slowly about four times before finally made the dismount to the landing platform, although some competitors like Travis Furlanic and Flip Rodriguez leap midway in the air to save time.

In its debut, it caused turbulence as it was so hard to clear this obstacle, taking victims such as Komiya Rie, Ishimaru Kenjirō, Miyazaki Daisuke, Kanno Hitoshi, Yamamoto Shingo, and Takahashi Kenji. It should be noted that all of the mentioned defeats above came even after the obstacle was modified mid-tournament, as the original design was proven to be very brutal that even three competitors, Mori Kohei, Sakakibara Tetsuji, and Kawahara Takuya, were given a chance to re-attempt First Stage.
Yamamoto Shingo attempting modified Rolling Escargot in SASUKE 27
In SASUKE 27, it received minor modifications, with the toeclips became more closed in footholds and it was relocated as the second obstacle. While the modifications make it easier, it still took down notable competitors such as Kawaguchi Tomohiro, Nakayama Kinnikun, and Mohammed Farid Isham.
Torisawa Katsuhide attempting modified Rolling Escargot in SASUKE 28
It was again modified in SASUKE 28, with the obstacle now painted in silver and the landing platform was replaced with a small floating mat. Also, a small cylinder pipe was placed above the track to avoid the wheel from potentially derailing. The modifications means Rolling Escargot become one of nine obstacles in SASUKE's history to be modified in three consecutive tournaments, with the others being Jumping Spider, Flying Chute, Half-Pipe Attack, Balance Tank, Bungee Rope Climb, Vertical Limit, Sidewinder R, and Fish Bone.
The modification again proved to be effective, eliminating Darvish Kenji, Iketani Naoki (who able to clear two previous versions), Watanabe Mika, and most notably, Takeda Toshihiro. However, in the following tournament, it was replaced by the returning Log Grip.
Other Appearances
American Ninja Warrior
American Ninja Warrior 6's Spinning Wheel in Venice Beach
The Rolling Escargot appeared as the second obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 6 in Venice Beach, referred to as the Spinning Wheel, with various differences from the SASUKE version of the obstacle:
- The track is on a straight line as compared to having a curvature at the end,
- The handholds having two on both sides of the wheel that are similar to rock climbing handholds, and
- The wheel sported the show's as-of-then-current logo, with a red outline.
Just like in SASUKE 26, during Venice Beach qualifiers, the obstacle was proven to be deadly as usual (taking out several competitors, e.g. Kelvin Antoine, Travis Weinand, and Brian Orosco).
During Venice Beach finals, it took out one more competitor (Brennan Mejia).
Australian Ninja Warrior
Australian Ninja Warrior 5's Cyclone Spinner
On Australian Ninja Warrior 5, the Rolling Escargot appeared as the third obstacle during the heats, with a similar design to that of American Ninja Warrior 6. The obstacle was renamed as the Cyclone Spinner, and painted with a completely different pattern featuring a star in the center surrounded by a red, segmented swirl (depicting a cyclone) on a blue base.
Similar to SASUKE 28, however, instead of using a small cylinder pipe, the obstacle was added with a thick metal track placed above the track, still to avoid the wheel from potentially derailing.
