Season 3's Smack Wall Sweeper
Season 4's Nana's House
The Smack Wall Sweeper is an obstacle that was featured in Season 3 of Wipeout as the first obstacle of the Qualifier in episodes 8 and 14.
It features a beam set next to a padded wall with two four-armed sweepers that contestants must avoid. As they run along the beam, part of the top half of the wall will flap out and smack them in the face. They aren't told anything about the wall, so they don't know that it is coming.
The Smack Wall would later become a recurring element in many obstacles from Season 4 onwards (including the TBS revival). This includes (but is not limited to):
- Nana's House/Gingerbread House (Season 4 Winter)
