MUSHROOM TRIP

Japan Flag   Mushroom Plop!   

Green tick  Land on the finish platform
Red X  Drop into the water
Skull icon  Centrifugal force and slime

The contestant starts on a high platform at the edge of a lake, and has to grab onto the stalk of a giant mushroom (with the help of short a rope to wrap around it). Once they're gripped on, the mushroom starts flying over the lake - continually spinning around as it goes.
The contestant must hold on until they reach a small platform floating on the lake - covered in slippery slime - that they have to drop down onto, and remain on top of, to win.

Seeing the finish platform is made difficult for some later contestants, as thick smoke fills the air.

Guards spray the contestants with fire hoses as they play.

In the original series, only woman were given a rope to wrap around the stalk, while men had to use a single handhold.
