The Rifle Ball Bullets / Bridge Ball
 | Reach the end of the bridge |
 | Fall off into the net or water below |
 | Watch out for the cannonfire |
The contestant has to cross a thin wobbly bridge whilst guards fire balls at them, from cannons, to try and knock them off.
To make balancing on the bridge harder, the contestant has to carry their own golden ball. They must catch this at beginning of the bridge, as it is shot to them from the cannon, before continuing onwards. While crossing the bridge the contestant must hold onto the ball at all times; as if it drops, and they lose it, they can't continue.
If the contestant does drop the golden ball they must go back to the start of the bridge to catch another one. Anyone who makes it across the bridge, with the golden ball in hand, wins.
