TURTLE HURTLE
Turtle Power... Shaken Wave / Turtle Path
 | Cross the floating platforms and reach the goal |
 | Fall into the water |
 | The pirates won't rest until you're in the lake |
A long bridge of 15 slippery platforms are floating in a lake. On the whistle, the contestant must start running over them to reach the finish platform at the other end.
A few seconds after the contestant has set off, a pirate (or other guard) takes chase. The contestant needs to be quick as, if the pirate catches them, they'll be thrown into the water.
After a short while a second pirate will enter the game too.
