By this point in time, anyone who can endure all the rounds and obstacles and still make the climb truly deserves to be declared a winner. If a contestant is able to get through the first 3 rounds, the final challenge is a rope climb of nearly 80 feet with only 30 seconds to do it. Each of the 4 rounds in the competition consists of various degrees of strength, agility, and endurance, sometimes showcasing an ability to jump and grab on to something by only your fingertips. The show, which took on a life of its own when it was branded "Ninja Warrior" in the US, pits some of the most dedicated competitors in the world to take on challenges that viewers at home cannot even fathom trying. A punishing, bruising obstacle course that challenged even the very top athletes to complete. Imagine all of the obstacles of these previous game shows but all rolled up in to one. Here are 15 of the craziest, most insane game shows that have ever aired in Japan, including some of the stunts that made them so infamous. For as extreme as we like our sports and make-overs, a good amount of what passes for primetime entertainment in Japan might be banned or edited out here in America. Looking through this list of shows, one wonders how many of them would even get a single airing in this country. There seems to be no limit to how dangerous or potentially in bad taste a stunt might go and likewise, there seems to be an endless stream of contestants who are happy to try whatever is put before them! Leave it to the country that has a long history with being calm, composed and somewhat reserved to give us some of the most bizarre challenges ever put before a live viewing audience.

Japanese game shows have become almost a code word for extreme television these days. At the very least, they push the envelope much further than we'd ever do here in the good old US of A. Though we as Americans like to pride ourselves on having the very best when it comes to entertainment, when it comes to game shows, Japan might have us beat. Who doesn't love a good, crazy game show? Watching normal, walk of life people compete for prizes, push themselves to extremes or just flat out embarrass themselves all in the name of competition is about as fun as television viewing can get.
