Guide to Watching Australian Ninja Warrior Season 4

Australian Ninja Warrior Is Back With Season 4!

Expect the Ninja fever to once again sweep the nation as Australian Ninja Warrior returns for season 4 this July on Nine and 9Now. Ever since season 1 hit TV screens, Ninja Warrior has become a movement across the country and has since made household names out of everyday Australians. And how could it not? Australian Ninja Warrior is home to the toughest obstacle course in the world, making it a true test of survival of the fittest and the fastest in the nation.

The ultimate goal remains to be Mt. Midoriyama, which took the US seven seasons to conquer and was conquered in the UK last year. The question is: will Australia be able to conquer it this season? You’ll have to tune in to find out as 200 ninjas will have to take on about 38 obstacles before they even get a chance to take on Mt. Midoriyama in the grand final.

Ben Fordham, Rebecca Madern, and Freddie Flintoff will return as hosts, who’ll take us through every heart-pounding moment as both new and returning ninjas take their shot at glory this season at the show’s new home in Melbourne, Australia.

How Does Ninja Warrior Work?

So what do our 200 ninjas have to face this season? Find out with this summary of how this season’s Australian Ninja Warrior will go:

Six Heats

This is where they will all begin. There are six heats consisting of six obstacles, with about two to three obstacles changing for each heat. Only the top 20 fastest from each heat will make it to the semis — making that 120 ninjas in total.

Four Semi-Finals

There are four semi-finals consisting of nine obstacles each. This includes the Warped Wall and the Quadruple Steps, which is a tougher version of the Quintuple Steps from the first season. Just like the heats, two obstacles also change in each semi. With this, only the top 8 fastest — 32 ninjas in total — from each semi-final will proceed to the grand final.

Grand Final

This season, the ninjas can expect a bigger and much tougher grand final course. In fact, there’s an extra stage added before they can try their hand to face Mt. Midoriyama — making that a total of four stages, including the final one at Mt. Midoriyama.

• Stage 1: Only those who complete the course in under 3:30 can proceed to stage two.

• Stage 2: Only those who complete the course in under 245 can make it to stage three.

• Stage 3: There’s no time limit here. They just have to complete the final five obstacles before earning the right to proceed to Mt. Midoriyama.

• Stage 4: Mt. Midoriyama: This final part will consist of a 22-metre rope climb with a 30-second countdown. Whoever reaches the top before the clock hits zero will earn the title of the first ever Australian Ninja Warrior and the jackpot prize of $200,000.
