Step on Up

Step on Up (also known as Step Brothers and Stair Down the Walls) is a recurring physical challenge that debuted in and was later used in , , , and .
==Rules==
Castaways must race to obtain puzzle steps and assemble their staircase one step at a time. The first person to reach the top wins the challenge.
Since , there has been a final task for the castaways to complete at the top of the staircase before they can win.
==History==
=== United States ===
The challenge was first used in . The contestants started out relatively even. Eventually, Brian Heidik pulled away and gained the lead. He never lost his lead and won the challenge by casually walking to the top of the tower.
The challenge returned in , where, after a grueling challenge hard-fought between the final six, Rob Mariano collapsed after winning. 
The challenge reappeared as the final six Immunity Challenge in . This version also included a three-dimensional slide puzzle which must be completed after the castaways completed the step ladder. Spencer Bledsoe consistently had a slight lead and was the first to complete the puzzle, winning immunity.
Returning in as the final six Immunity Challenge, the challenge included a 63-piece puzzle which must be completed after the step ladder. Nick Wilson was one of the last contestants to complete their step ladder. However, he managed to pull off a comeback win to earn immunity, narrowly completing the puzzle over Angelina Keeley, Kara Kay, and Mike White.
The challenge appeared once again in as the final six Immunity Challenge in combination with Gimme Three Steps. Castaways had to first get over a set of hurdle obstacles, then retrieve three batches of puzzle pieces to complete their staircase. Then, they would maneuver a bag containing two balls through a ladder puzzle, then land these balls in a table maze. Lindsay Dolashewich held a lead throughout the challenge and narrowly beat out Jonathan Young at the table maze to win her second Immunity Challenge.
=== Australia ===
A variant of the challenge was used as a part of the penultimate Immunity Challenge in . The final four first climbed up a net obstacle to retrieve balls, which they used to knock out puzzle pieces from a frame. They then raced to a ramp, matching the puzzle pieces to the pegs on the ramp to build a staircase. Once they have completed their staircase, they will untie a bucket from the top of the tower and race down, using the bucket to collect water. They will then bring the filled bucket, go over and under a series of hitching posts, and fill a larger bucket with the water. Once there is enough water, the bucket will drop and bring a gate down with it. At the final stage, they will roll balls up a ramp and land them in six pockets. Although Hayley Leake reached the last station first, Flick Palmateer landed her sixth ball first to pull off a clutch immunity win and thwart the Brains Alliance's plan to get rid of her.
===South Africa===
In , the challenge was used at the final five. Graham Jenneker held a consistent lead throughout the challenge and beat Zavion Kotze by two steps to win immunity and a shower and massage.
