Slippery Course

The Slippery Course is an obstacle, used as the third round in Season 2, replacing the Dreadmill from the previous season. It was interchanged with the Dizzy Dummy 2.0, the Rocket, and the Bucking Bull throughout the season.

There are four rounds. First, the six contestants will all start at the top of the Slick Slide, where it’s a race to the bottom and dash toward Branch in the Face. They must then attempt one of two obstacles placed over a mud pool: one situated directly on it, and the other placed on a slippery slope known as the Slippery Wall, which features either a series of ropes, spinning triangles, or spinning pegs on it. Finally, they must get onto the center platform at the top of the Spinner. In episodes 7, 13, and 16, there were six pillars (six on the outside and two closer to the center platform at the top). The first person to do so in each round moves on to the Wipeout Zone.

It was replaced by the Circular Challenge, Bruiseball, and the Spinner in Season 3.
