Variations

Ep#

1	Shredding Slope The contestant has to swing from one platform to another straight in front of them, over a container of shredded paper. On the other side of the landing platform is a slope. If the contestant slides down here, without landing on the flat part of the platform first, they lose.

2 to 18

Swamp Swinging The game is played over a muddy pit. Contestants begin on a platform that looks like a large stone head and must land on a tree trunk-like stump opposite. The location of the game was changed from episode 11.

41 to 84, 96

Dragon Lake Lake The contestant starts off on a platform at the edge of a lake. They must swing over the water and land on a small round podium* in the middle of the lake. *In episode 96 there was a round floating pad to land on instead.

93, 97 - 127

"New" Dragon Lake Instead of swinging to a platform straight ahead, the contestant has to swing in a semi-circle to reach the small landing platform to the right of where they start. They get a run-up before swinging off to give them more chance to swing far enough around.

106	Taiwanese Dragon In a special international episode, the Taiwanese version of the game is played - on the set of "100 Wars 100 Victories".

130

Giant Dragon Lake A giant version played in the sea. Starting from very high up; the contestant has to use a rope to swing over to, and drop down on to, a small platform floating in the ocean below. This platform is incredibly unstable, so contestants must cling on to avoid being tipped into the water.
