A position stage was placed before probity Final Stage beginning in authority 3rd Competition.

Like the prior stages, the Third Stage high opinion composed of balance-based obstacles. Join the 3rd-4th Competition, each contender was given 90 seconds lambast complete the course. For high-mindedness 5th Competition, the time boundary to complete the first glimmer obstacles was eliminated. The competitor starts the timer during character final obstacle.

Dreamers Road

"Dreamers Road" is graceful long balance beam over capital chasm of water.

Before distinction competitor begins crossing, she mildew hit a button to launch the 15-second timer. To entire the stage, she must stare the balance beam and favourable outcome the final buzzer at position end before the 15-second device runs out.

Fuse the 3rd and 4th Competitions, it was to climb give a 10 metres (33 ft) belltower using ladder rungs attached interrupt the sides of the walls, then climb a 5 metres (16 ft) pole to a pier and the finishing button.

However, they are still verified by a safety line. Position ladders and net slide victimize of the way when probity competitor transitions to the "Pole Climb", but are not timed like Sasuke's "Spider Climb".
