I saw somebody succeed once before, he was the only one left at the end and all that happened was the fireworks went off and takeshi held his hand up, as far as i could tell he didn't actually get rewarded in any way.

There is no "i" in "team" but there is an "i" in "winner" so screw you all!

Do you mean win the show, or actually run up into the castle?

I think in the first series the ending wasn't the usual zipping about in carts with water pistols/lasers as usual, but the contestants had to physically run up the castle walkways while fending off the Emerald Guard.

As far as I know, no-one won at all in that season. So they changed it to the carts instead...and while still virtually no-one won, they did have a few. I've seen about three or four winning shows I think, and yeah...no ceremony or anything, although perhaps there was but it was cut from the UK show.

In the 3 years it ran there was only 3 winners. two via laser carts and one via water gun. The winners supposadly recieved 1 million yen...which is about 5000 pounds i think.

In the first series, they did have to run up the castle...personally i think that ways a bit easier than the water cannons.

I've also read somewhere that back in 1986 - 1989, when it was on japanese tv ( i think it was the channel WOWOW) the episodes were longer, and the Episodes on Challenge TV we see are simply edited versions.

i've seen 5 people win it so far while i've watched it

Gatekeeper: Are there boobs on my head?
Nicky: Yeah, big ones.

So some people have won it? Wow!

I wonder if those episodes will ever be shown on Challenge, as I would like to see them.
