Season 2's King of the Mountain

King of the Mountain is a Round Two obstacle that was first introduced in the Wipeout Bowl Special. It was interchanged with the Sweeper as a Round Two obstacle for all of Season 2.

The twelve contestants stand on 10-foot-high pedestals as a platform moves in a circular motion. They must jump onto the platform, make their way to one of the stairways, and climb up to one of the six spots on the edge of the mountain. They also have to avoid two giant clubs (and sometimes rubber donuts) rotating in the opposite direction. If they wipeout, they must head back and start all over. The first six contestants to make it onto the mountain move on to the next round.

Along with the Sweeper, it was replaced by both the Overdrive and the Double Cross in Season 3.

A similar obstacle named Scary-Go-Round later appeared as the third obstacle in the Wipeout Zone for Season 2.
