List of Nickelodeon GUTS events

There are several different types of events, ranging from field sports to pool sports. Many events made use of elastic harnesses for aerial purposes. There were also track events and an obstacle course taking place in the gym.

## Elastic/Aerial

### Season 1 debuts

**Bull's Eye**

* First appearance: Nikki vs. Tony vs. Robert
* Last appearance: Filipe vs. Alba vs. Matt
* Objective: Modeled after archery, players were equipped with crossbows and Velcro arrows. With the help of the elastics, they jumped off the Aerial Bridge and fired the arrows at the targets in front of them. Only arrows that actually hit the bulls-eye counted and they only counted after the player hit the ground first before bouncing back up. The player with the most bulls-eyes scored in 60 seconds won the event (45 seconds in the Matt/Scott/Carly episode). All three players competed at the same time.
* Most bullseyes scored in event history: 9 arrows by Vic "The Vaporizer" Stutzman of Diana vs. Ibis vs. Vic, Gary "The Bullet" Visser of Rawley vs. Jason vs. Gary, Joshua "The Dragon" Guzman of Jessie vs. Erin vs. Joshua & Adam "Fireball" Shefer of Adam vs. Baruc vs. Yelena

**Slam Dunk**

* First appearance: Sean vs. Regan vs. Aracelis
* Last appearance: Allison vs. Cesar vs. Katie
* Objective: Players jumped off the Aerial Bridge and attempted to shoot a basketball through an elevated basketball hoop with each jump. Baskets only counted if they were made after the player touched the ground. All three players competed at the same time and the player with the most baskets scored in 60 seconds won.
* Most baskets scored in event history: 10 baskets by Melanie "The Rocket" Charlesworth & Nuno "The Wasp" Correia of Nuno vs. Michal vs. Melanie, Ana Cristina "The Winner" Figuieredo of Angel vs. Alexey vs. Ana, Julio "The Dynamo" Vallarta of Brooke vs. Vasily vs. Julio, Mario "The Quick" Bedolla of Julia vs. Bruno vs. Mario and Allison "The Stallion" Schivitz of Allison vs. Cesar vs. Katie

**Over The Top**

* First appearance: Shelly vs. Rusty vs. Heather
* Last appearance: Greg vs. Thomas vs. Mor
* Objective: In this event, modeled after high jump competitions, each player, one at a time, jumped off the Aerial Bridge and tried to jump over a hurdle at a set height. Each player received three jumps (two in one episode). If a player successfully cleared the hurdle, it was raised for the next jump; if not, the player attempted the next jump at the same height. The player who jumped the highest was the winner. In the first two seasons, the heights they had to clear were 6'9", then 7'5" and 8'1". In Season 3, the heights were raised to 8'8", 9'4" and 10'0". In the fourth and final season, the heights were 2.5 meters, 2.75 meters and 3 meters.
* Highest jumps in event history: Heather "The Crusher" Cruey of Shelly vs. Rusty vs. Heather, Oliver "The Viper" Vanoy of Rebecca vs. Cam vs. Oliver, Jen "The Javelin" Reiner of Kateri vs. Jen vs. Kristin, Chris "The Crusher" Martin of Mandy vs. Brian vs. Chris, Chris "Snowflake" Ewing of Josh vs. Mary Pam vs. Chris and Jennifer "Gadget" Griffin of Adam vs. Trey vs. Jennifer at 8'1"; Ray "The Crusher" Brinson of Ray vs. Danny vs. Erica and Chris "Thunder" Yon of Chris vs. Rachael vs. Eirene at 9'4"; Lina "Rocky" Ben Zur at 2.75 meters of Lina vs. Enrico vs. Dane

**Spirals**

* First appearance: Shelly vs. Rusty vs. Heather
* Last appearance: Erin vs. Brian vs. Valerie
* Objective: With all three competing at the same time, players jumped off the Aerial Bridge and tried to throw footballs through a set of tires and into a net. The first three episodes where this event was played had six small tires (for each player) stacked on top of one another in a pyramid fashion and later playings replaced the small tires with one large tire, colored after the player's color. The player with the most footballs thrown into his or her goal in 45 seconds (60 seconds in Season 2) won.
* Most passes completed in event history: 10 passes by Chris "The Crusher" Martin of Mandy vs. Brian vs. Chris

**Make Your Mark**

* First appearance: Julie vs. Alyson vs. Matt
* Last appearance: Jordan vs. Eddie vs. Bethany
* Objective: Each player jumped from the Bridge and upon jumping back up, tried to make their highest mark on a yellow wall with paint resembling Nickelodeon's famous green slime. In the first three episodes featuring this event, players put plastic gloves on their hands and dipped them in paint before trying to slap their hands on the wall. In later episodes, players jumped into a giant ink pad. In the first season, players jumped into green ink and in the second season, players jumped into ink pads corresponding to their jersey color and then tried to make their mark on the wall with their feet. Jumps had to include both hand/footprints in order to count. When measuring each valid jump, the lowest portion of the mark was counted. The highest overall jump won.
* Highest mark in event history: 15'1" by "Marvelous" Matt Allen of Julie vs. Alyson vs. Matt
* Lowest mark in event history: 8'7" by "Awesome" Andy Nayee of Jill vs. Kirk vs. Andy

**Spike It**

* First appearance: Justin vs. Katie vs. Tori
* Last appearance: Brandon vs. Chris vs. Stacey
* Objective: Players jumped off the Bridge and tried to hit a volleyball over a net and onto a target on the ground. Each player received five serves. If the player had a false serve, they were allowed to take that serve over again. The player with the most volleyballs hitting the targets was the winner. In the first three episodes to feature this event, players played the game one at a time and for the last six episodes, all three players participated simultaneously.
* Most spiked targets in event history: 4 by Tiff "Blazing" Baolo of Tiff vs. Christa vs. Brent & "Rad" Ryan Clifton of Birt vs. B.B. vs. Ryan

**The Longest Yard**

* First appearance: Jill vs. Ryan vs. Shakir
* Last appearance: Jerome vs. Mark vs. Kristina
* Objective: Modeled after long jump competitions, each player jumped from the Bridge and tried to make the longest distance they could away from it, making their mark by planting their feet in a sand pit in front of the bridge. Jumps that did not include two footprints in the sand did not count. The distance for each valid jump was the portion of the players mark that was closest to the aerial bridge. The player making the longest overall jump won the event.
* Longest jump in event history: 24'6" by Peter "Crash" Crescenti of Richard vs. Peter vs. Sarah
* Shortest jump in event history: 8'2" by Jerome "J.J." Perkins, Jr. of Jerome vs. Mark vs. Kristina

**Off The Wall**

* First appearance: Tracy vs. Joe vs. David
* Last appearance: Ronny vs. Justin vs. Jennifer
* Objective: 50 baseballs were attached to each of three walls. The players jumped off the Bridge and tried to knock as many baseballs as they could off the wall. The player with the most baseballs knocked off in 45 seconds won the event; this was usually determined by how many baseballs were left on the wall.
* Most baseballs knocked down in event history: 48 by Justin "Terminator B" Bellucci of Mike vs. Justin vs. Nathan

**Jump! Jump!**

* First appearance: Roger vs. Jeff vs. Kelly
* Last appearance: Lisa vs. Angela vs. Evgueni
* Objective: This event was based on hurdling competitions. Players jumped off the bridge, over two high hurdles and onto the bridge on the opposite side, before jumping over the hurdles again and back onto the original bridge. A five-second penalty was imposed on a player if he or she knocked a hurdle down and in the first two seasons, a two-second penalty was imposed if a player needed help from the spotters. The player who cleared this event in the fastest time won the event. In the third season, this event was made more difficult in that the jumps were longer and the hurdles were higher, but the penalties for spotter assistance were eliminated because the spotters had to wait 5 seconds before assisting a struggling player.
* Fastest time in event history: 15.3 by Tommy "T" Naddeo of Nick vs. Matt vs. Tommy
* Longest time in event history: 1:06.7 by JR "Baby D" Carson of Peach vs. Jen vs. JR

### Season 2 debuts

**Rebound**

* First appearance: Stephanie vs. Tabatha vs. Tommy
* Last appearance: Lisa vs. Angela vs. Evgueni
* Objective: A basketball was placed on a solitary cylinder in the middle of the arena floor. Here, players who were in three different corners jumped off their Aerial Bridges and to the center of the floor, and as they jumped up, they tried to grab the basketball and take it back to their bridge, which counted as a "rebound." Balls that the player dropped while climbing up their platform still counted as long as the player touched the ground with the ball in their hands before dropping it. If a player scored on an attempt where he or she made a false start, their "rebound" did not count. There were seven attempts in this event (reduced to five in Season 3, but changed back to seven in *Global GUTS*) and the player with the most rebounds won.
* Most rebounds in event history: 6 by Bianca "The Barbarian" Alaimo of Nikki vs. Bianca vs. T.J.

**Jump Ball**

* First appearance: John vs. Sarah vs. Danny
* Last appearance: Jerome vs. Mark vs. Kristina
* Objective: The layout was the same as Rebound, except the floor was painted in 3 different sections - blue, red and purple. Here, when the players jumped off their bridges and to the cylinder, they would tip the basketball (the jump ball) to the floor. Whatever color section the basketball landed on, scored a point for the player of that particular color. There were seven chances in this event and the player with the most jump balls landing in their colored section was the winner.
* Most tips in event history: 6 by Isa "Esell" Shroyer of Keri vs. Jason vs. Isa

**Attack**

* First appearance: John vs. Sarah vs. Danny
* Last appearance: Adam vs. Trey vs. Jennifer
* Objective: In this event, players were equipped with lacrosse sticks and a ball to go with it. After jumping off the bridge, each player used his or her lacrosse stick to try to throw the ball into an elevated net. The player with the most goals scored in 60 seconds won. All three players competed at the same time in this event.
* Most goals in event history: 10 by Christy "Blast" Gast of Mike vs. Christy vs. Cam

### Season 3 debuts

**Shoot Out**

* First appearance: Robin vs. Jennifer vs. Bobby
* Last appearance: Katya & Stepan vs. Santiago vs. Oren
* Objective: Competing simultaneously, players jumped off their aerial bridges and tried to kick soccer balls into their own nets. The player who scored the most goals in 60 seconds won.
* Most goals in event history: 7 by Nicholas "Captain" Morgan of Jennifer vs. Nicholas vs. Alexandre & José Manuel "The Iceman" Rama of Ben vs. José vs. Alejandra

**Slam-A-Jama**

* First appearance: B.J. vs. Tiffani vs. Meredith
* Last appearance: Bem vs. Christopher vs. Michal
* Objective: Each player had 30 seconds to score baskets in a hoop inside of a center cylinder while the other players tried to reject the shots. After one player had their turn, he or she then went on defense against the next player. The player with the most hoops scored won. Players on defense could not grab onto the basket while they tried to defend against a player on offense; if they did grab onto the basket, they would lose a point that they scored on offense.
* Most baskets in event history: 6 by Chris "The Speedster" Brown of Lorraine vs. Chris vs. Gabrielle, Adam "Fireball" Shefer of Adam vs. Baruc vs. Yelena and Matt "In the Hat" Evans of Filipe vs. Alba vs. Matt

**Double Play**

* First appearance: Ray vs. Danny vs. Erica
* Last appearance: Ronnie vs. Brooke vs. Rose
* Objective: With elastics, the players bounced up and down as they stood in three different corners, with an elevated net directly across from each player. Baseballs were shot at the players from four different cannons. Each player had a fielder's glove on one hand and had to catch the baseballs with their gloved hand before using their free hand to throw them into the elevated net directly across from them which was referred to as turning the "double play". The player with the most baseballs thrown into their goal in 60 seconds won.
* Most double plays in event history: 4 by Erica "Equalizer" Sullivan of Ray vs. Danny vs. Erica

**Dodge It**

* First appearance: Kathy vs. Mike vs. Ryan
* Last appearance: Bem vs. Christopher vs. Michal
* Objective: This event was modeled after the game of dodgeball. The players were in three corners as they bounced up and down constantly with the help of the elastics. As dodgeballs poured out of an elevated tube, players attempted to catch a ball and hit one of their opponents with it. Players were allowed to catch a dodgeball thrown at them (though it would still count as a hit against that player) and use it against the player that threw it or against another player. The player who scored the most hits against their opponents in 60 seconds was the winner.
* Most hits in event history: 9 by Rami "The Snake" Cohen of Kelly vs. Kostya vs. Rami

**Zero G**

* First appearance: Brian vs. Steven vs. Jenny
* Last appearance: Julia vs. Bruno vs. Mario
* Objective: The contestants were suspended sideways and had to run across a sideways track with hurdles and trampolines "Black Holes". They also had to make their way around the "Edge of Nothing", a sharp turn onto the other side of the track. Unlike most timed events, the clock started after the player crossed the starting line rather than at the whistle. The player who cleared this event in the fastest time was the winner.
* Fastest time in event history: 15.1 by David "Dynamo" Myall of Ronny vs. David vs. Kristen
* Longest time in event history: 38.1 by Richard "Rampage" Clowes of David vs. Richard vs. Kirsten

**Touchdown**

* First appearance: Blake vs. Leigh vs. Drew
* Last appearance: David vs. Rob vs. Craig
* Objective: This event was played similarly to **Double Play**, except instead of baseballs being shot at the players from four different cannons, contestants were required to grab footballs from elevated racks next to them and then try to throw them into their corresponding elevated goals. The winner was determined by who scored the most "touchdowns" in 45 or 60 seconds.
* Most touchdowns in event history: 8 by Michael "Tsunami" Devitt of Michael vs. Leila vs. Trecia and Craig "Little Man" Rankin & Rob "Rock" Rauch of David vs. Rob vs. Craig

**Peak To Peak**

* First appearance: Blake vs. Leigh vs. Drew
* Last appearance: Allison vs. Cesar vs. Katie
* Objective: Eight miniature mountain peaks were laid out in the middle of the arena, alternating between left and right. With the help of the elastics, players jumped from the Aerial Bridge and went from one peak to another before reaching the opposite bridge and returning in the same manner. Players were assessed a two-second penalty if any peaks were missed. The player with the fastest time won.
* Fastest time in event history: 12.7 by Adam "The Flash" Young of Ana vs. Adam vs. Mayalen
* Longest time in event history: 45.6 by "Superior" Rae Humenick of Rae vs. Colleen vs. Jeff

**Triple Jump**

* First appearance: Matt vs. Scott vs. Carly
* Last appearance: Michael vs. Jason vs. Brandy
* Objective: Similar to The Longest Yard. One at a time, each player had two attempts (three in its first appearance) to jump onto an elevated platform, then over a set of barrels and finally over a high hurdle before landing in a sand pit. The winner was the player with the furthest footprints from the aerial bridge, but attempts that did not result in both feet being planted in the sand (including not reaching the sand due to lack of momentum) were disqualified; this was referred to as a "foul jump". Players were also disqualified if either they stepped over the foul line during their jump or if they failed to clear all of the obstacles. When measuring each valid jump, the portion that was closest to the aerial bridge was counted at the players distance. The player with the longest overall jump won.
* Longest jump in event history: 65'5" by Jason "Hammer Head" Bench of Michael vs. Jason vs. Brandy
* Shortest jump in event history: 59'3" by Brandy "Victory" Veres of Michael vs. Jason vs. Brandy

### Global GUTS debut

**Skyball**

* First appearance: Hagit vs. Rosa vs. Hugo
* Last appearance: Ana vs. Hugo vs. Julia
* Objective: Played like **Double Play** and **Touchdown**, but used balls from **Dodge It** that were shot at the players from cannons. The player with the most goals scored in 60 seconds won.
* Most goals in event history: 10 by Christina "The Tick" Büeb of Israel vs. Christina vs. Kelly

## Gym

### Season 1 debut

**Basic Training**

* First appearance (Landing Pad): Nikki vs. Tony vs. Robert
* Last appearance (Landing Pad): Allison vs. Cesar vs. Katie
* First appearance (Tube Slide): Melissa vs. Lea vs. Kenneth
* Last appearance (Tube Slide): Ana vs. Hugo vs. Julia
* Objective: One of the most frequently played events, players navigated a six-station obstacle course (seven in the fourth and final season) one at a time. To prevent making strategies based on his or her performance, opposing players were not allowed to watch contestants run the course before their turn. Players had to complete each obstacle before moving on to the next one (any missed obstacle resulted in a disqualification). The player who cleared the course in the fastest time won. In the event of a false start, players would be allowed to start the course over once, but then a second false start meant a disqualification. The obstacles, which varied every time the event was played, included one from each of the following stations:
	+ *Obstacle 1*
		- ***Cargo Net*** – A rope ladder that players climbed up to an elevated platform.
		- ***Wall Climb*** – A vertical wall with a rope with which the players could use to help themselves climb.
	+ *Obstacle 2* (falling off any of these made the player start the course over again, with the clock still running)
		- ***Tightrope Walk*** – A chain-linked tightrope that players walked across to get to the next platform.
		- ***Rings*** – A set of gymnastics-like rings that players used to swing across to the next platform.
		- ***Tarzan Swing*** – A simple rope swing across the pit to the third obstacle on the next platform.
	+ *Obstacle 3*
		- ***Free Fall*** – Players jumped off the platform into an air bag with a bullseye target. Renamed the ***Landing Pad*** on *Global GUTS*.
		- ***Slide for Life*** – A 20-foot zipline ride halfway across the gym and onto a cushion in front of the fourth obstacle.
		- ***Fire Pole*** – Players grabbed onto this obstacle and slid it down to the ground.
	+ *Obstacle 4*
		- ***Elastic Jungle*** – A jungle gym filled with elastic bands through which players had to walk or crawl.
		- ***Tire Crawl*** – A set of hanging tires that the players had to jump into and crawl through.
	+ *Obstacle 5*
		- ***Wall Climb*** or ***Cargo Net***, depending on which of those two obstacles was used first.
	+ *Obstacle 6*
		- ***Free Fall*** (depending on whether or not it was the 3rd obstacle)
		- ***Tube Slide*** – A tubular slide that players had to slide down head first to land in the GUTS pool. A camera was later added onto the slide to give the home viewers a 1st person view from the bottom of the slide. Renamed the ***Pool Slide*** in the fourth and final season.
* In the fourth and final season, some new obstacles were added to this course, including:
	+ ***Slingshot*** – An inflatable slide that the players had to slide or jump down from.
	+ ***Pyramid*** – A set of barrels stacked in a pyramid fashion, which the players had to climb over.
* NOTES: The 1-hour Nickelodeon GUTS All Stars Special (1993) included an extended version of this event, combining most of the obstacles into the same course. It started with the ***Tire Crawl*** and ended with a ***Slide for Life*** ride into the pool, with a finish line placed into the pool that had to be crossed to stop the clock. Also, in the fourth and final season, the ***Tightrope Walk*** was renamed ***Monkey Bridge***. Mike has also mentioned several times that players were proscribed from watching their opponents complete the challenge.
* Fastest time in event history (landing pad): 19.9 by Paul "Running Man" Battson of Lauren vs. Anna vs. Paul
* Fastest time in event history (pool slide): 21.1 by Brian "Crazy Legs" Smalling of Erin vs. Brian vs. Valerie
* Longest time in event history (landing pad): 1:54.9 by B.B. "The Barbarian" Burton of Birt vs. B.B. vs. Ryan
* Longest time in event history (pool slide): 1:41.4 by Rachel "Poodle" Kaczowka of Rachel vs. Eddie vs. Christina

### Season 3 debut

**Extreme Baseball**

* First appearance (Tube Slide): Robin vs. Jennifer vs. Bobby
* Last appearance (Tube Slide): David vs. Rob vs. Craig
* First appearance (Slide for Life): Brian vs. Matt vs. Rachael
* Last appearance (Slide for Life): Ashley vs. Nicole vs. Leanne

* Objective: This is a baseball version of Basic Training; however, this event took on a baseball theme as the obstacles were set up in a diamond formation, with each completed obstacle ending on a "base path", complete with a baseball diamond placed on the landing mats. Done one at a time, the player who completed the course in the fastest time won the event.

Obstacles in Extreme Baseball included:

* ***Tarzan Swing*** renamed in this event as the ***Ken Griffey, Jr. Swing***

* ***Fire Pole***
	+ ***Tire Crawl***
	+ ***Elastic Jungle***
	+ ***Pyramid*** known in this version as the ***Decoy Second Baseman***
	+ ***Column*** – A vertical column which players were required to climb to reach the elevated base.
	+ ***Free Fall***
	+ ***Cargo Net***
	+ ***Wall Climb*** to Third Base
	+ ***Slide for Life***
	+ ***Tube Slide***

The above two were sometimes referred to as the ***Neon Deion Slide*** when used to land on *Home Plate* and conclude the run. Also, players went feet first down the Tube Slide in this event because unlike Basic Training, the Tube Slide led to a crash pad instead of the GUTS pool.

* Fastest time in event history (Tube Slide): 38.8 by "Fantastic" B.J. Johnson of B.J. vs. Tiffani vs. Meredith
* Fastest time in event history (Slide for Life): 39.5 by Craig "Little Man" Rankin of David vs. Rob vs. Craig
* Longest time in event history (Tube Slide): 1:02.8 by Jennifer "The Jaguar" Barnes of Robin vs. Jennifer vs. Bobby
* Longest time in event history (Slide for Life): 1:06.7 by "Glorious" Gabrielle Walls of Lorraine vs. Chris vs. Gabrielle

## Track

### Season 1 debuts

**Moon Race**

* First appearance: Nikki vs. Tony vs. Robert
* Last appearance: Tray vs. Mike vs. Maureen
* Objective: This event made use of Nickelodeon Moon Shoes, which were strapped to the players' feet. Players raced around the track by jumping with the moon shoes on. Players must stay in their designated lanes or they'll be disqualified and the player who crossed the finish line first was the winner.

**Wild Wheels**

* First appearance: Sean vs. Regan vs. Aracelis
* Last appearance: Lee vs. Melanie vs. Trynina
* Objective: Players were buckled into a special recumbent tricycle, which they then pedaled around the track while going through some obstacles such as cones and ramps and in later playings, the "Car Wash". Players competed one at a time and if the player went off the track or missed an obstacle during their run, he or she received a two-second penalty. The player who finished this course in the fastest time was the winner.
* Fastest time in event history: 21.3 by John "The Catapult" Crescenti of John vs. Cindy vs. Taylor
* Longest time in event history: 47.3 by "Lucky" Lisa Tango of Lisa vs. Jana vs. Chris

**Eat My Dust**

* First appearance: Shelly vs. Rusty vs. Heather
* Last appearance: Erin vs. Brian vs. Valerie
* Objective: In this event, players, going one at a time, rode a BMX bicycle around the track, while having to deal with obstacles such as the "Bump n' Dump" ramp, a sand trap, the "Tippin' Tubular Tunnel" (replaced by the "Tippin' Teeter Totter" in Season 2), the "Sack Attack" (a series of swinging punching bags) and a final ramp jump (a regular ramp in earlier playings) before crossing the finish line. A two-second penalty was imposed on a player if they went off the track during their run. The fastest time was the winner.
* Fastest time in event history: 17.6 by Ty "Mouth of the South" Mathen of Mike vs. Ty vs. Jennifer
* Longest time in event history: 34.3 by Amber "Plaid" Robinson of Kristin vs. Amber vs. Sammy

**Blade Runner**

* First appearance: Kateri vs. Jen vs. Kristin
* Last appearance: Tony vs. Jessie vs. Holly
* Objective: The contestants wore in-line skates, which they used to race around the track, going through some obstacles as they went along, including the "Limbo Bars" (a pair of low hurdles), the "Frantic Flags" or the "Slalom" (a series of flags or cones), the Sack Attack (a series of swinging punching bags), the "Car Wash" (a low tunnel) and the "Bump n' Dump" ramp. Players received a two-second penalty if they stepped off of the track during their run. Fastest time won.
* Fastest time in event history: 16.9 by "Speedy" Adam Zatorski of Adam vs. Trey vs. Jennifer
* Longest time in event history: 29.3 by Kateri "Hawk" Hook of Kateri vs. Jen vs. Kristin

### Season 2 debuts

**Tornado Run**

* First appearance: Stephanie vs. Tabatha vs. Tommy
* Last appearance: Greg vs. Thomas vs. Mor
* Objective: In this event, the track had many different obstacles that the players had to navigate around, including running on top of a "river" (a simulated pond with stepping stones), then over a "rocking earthquake" (pieces of faux pavement that tilted up and down), after that scampering through and then climbing jungle vines (one set in the first three episodes it was featured in, and later two sets) and racing through a "swamp fog" on the final ramp. A wind also blew leaves onto the players during the race to make it more challenging. The more common version of this game had all three players run around the track, with the one crossing the finish line first being the winner. Alternate playings of this event had the players run through the course one at a time, with the winner being determined by the fastest time.
* NOTE: In the second and third seasons, players run through different tracks. In the fourth and final season, players took turn by running through different tracks.
* Fastest time in event history: 16.9 by Nicholas "Captain" Morgan of Jennifer vs. Nicholas vs. Alexandre
* Longest time in event history: 35.0 by Michal "Mikey" Waldman of Nuno vs. Michal vs. Melanie

**Mad Max**

* First appearance: John vs. Sarah vs. Danny
* Last appearance: Julia vs. Bruno vs. Mario
* Objective: Based on Wild Wheels with a reclining tricycle (tricked out to resemble a car with head and tail lights, a tail fin and a padded bumper), this event, likely inspired by the movie of the same name, had many obstacles to overcome. Players started at the top of a starting ramp that they would pedal down to gain some speed (earlier playings had no starting ramp). As they pedaled around the track, contestants passed "The Junkyard" a part of the track with scrap lying on it), then navigated over a series of speed bumps (renamed the "Bump n' Dump" in Season 3 and the "Jumps" in the fourth and final season), then raced through "Pothole Pass", a faux street with makeshift potholes carved into it and finally crashed through a "Dead End" wall on their way to the finish line. The 2-second off-the-track penalty applied to this event as well, in addition to a 5-second missed obstacle penalty in later playings. Fastest time was the winner.
* Fastest time in event history: 16.4 by Bret "Bones" Hudas of Bret vs. Abi vs. Jessica
* Longest time in event history: 54.6 by Jennifer "The Jagger" Ginther of Ronny vs. Justin vs. Jennifer

## Pool

In Seasons 1-2, the pool was located in the field, but starting in Season 3, the pool moved to the scoreboard area. Also, starting in Season 2, plexiglass was added in to avoid water splashing outside the pool.

### Season 1 debuts

**Boogie Down**

* First appearance: Sean vs. Regan vs. Aracelis
* Last appearance: Ambar vs. Roy vs. Ana
* Objective: With rapids active, players, who were hooked to a harness, used a rope to pull themselves from one end of the pool to the other and back while kneeling on a kneeboard boogie board, high-fiving a spotter at each end to assure a complete run. Fastest time won the event.
* Fastest time in event history: 19.4 by Brian "Crazy Legs" Smalling of Erin vs. Brian vs. Valerie
* Longest time in event history: 46.3 by Birt "Radar" Reynolds of Birt vs. B.B. vs. Ryan

**White Water**

* First appearance: Shelly vs. Rusty vs. Heather
* Last appearance: Greg vs. Thomas vs. Mor
* Objective: With rapids active, players had to paddle an inflated raft around two buoys and to the end of the pool, where they gave a high five to a spotter to end the race. If a player did not go around a buoy, he or she got a five-second penalty (2-second penalty in season 1) added to their time. The player with the fastest time won the event. In the first two seasons, if the player exceeded a 60-second time limit, he or she would get an automatic third place. In season 3, the **Wave Runner** event (see below) was renamed to **White Water**. In *Global GUTS*, the Wave Ball would still be used, but the pylons were replaced by buoys again.
* Fastest time in event history: 9.7 by "No Spill" Phil Leclerc of Phil vs. Eric vs. Kate
* Longest time in event history: 1:11.2 by Greg "Big Dog" Haney of Greg vs. Thomas vs. Mor

**Totally Tubular**

* First appearance: Julie vs. Alyson vs. Matt
* Last appearance: Delia vs. Marnie vs. Jon
* Objective: The swimming pool was divided into three lanes for this event and each lane had an equal number of inner tubes. Players simultaneously swam to the other end of the pool, having to put the inner tubes over themselves as they swam along. After touching the end of the pool, they had to swim back to the starting point with the tubes still on them. The player who made it back to the starting point first was the winner. However, if a player did not touch the end of the pool before coming back to the starting point or missed any inner tubes, he or she was disqualified.

**Splash Down**

* First appearance: Justin vs. Katie vs. Tori
* Last appearance: Claudia vs. Chance vs. Chrissy
* Objective: Three inflated tubes were attached to each other (with bungee cords) in a triangular fashion, with one player on each tube. With the rapids active, players shook the tubes with their bodies in an attempt to knock their opponents into the pool. The last player remaining above the water was the winner. This event was timed at 45 seconds and if all three players stayed on top of their tubes, they all received first place points.

**Invisible Boat**

* First appearance: Melissa vs. Lea vs. Kenneth
* Last appearance: Allison vs. Cesar vs. Katie
* Objective: Players were hooked to a harness and given a paddle. The players used the paddle to walk themselves across the pool before touching the end of the pool with their paddle; this was made more difficult by means of several water cannons creating rapids in the pool. Fastest time won. In the third season, this event was made a bit more difficult, in that players were now required to paddle to the end of the pool and then back. As such, in this version of the event, not touching both ends of the pool with one's paddle resulted in an automatic third place finish.

### Season 2 debuts

**Wave Runner**

* First appearance: Peach vs. Jen vs. JR
* Last appearance: Keri vs. Jason vs. Isa
* Objective: This followed basically the same format as **White Water**, except that now, players had to make their way around two pylons and instead of rapids, they would be hindered by waves caused by the Wave Ball. Unlike other pool events, players were required to wear helmets in this event. Again, fastest time won. As mentioned above, in Season 3, this event was renamed **White Water** and helmets were no longer required for this event.

**Hang Ten**

* First appearance: Stephanie vs. Tabatha vs. Tommy
* Last appearance: Katya & Stepan vs. Santiago vs. Oren
* Objective: While on a bodyboard surfboard, players had 30 seconds to collect as many of ten buoys scattered around the pool as possible, while at the same time trying to battle against large waves created by a Wave Ball. In order for the buoys to count, they had to remain on the players' arms and had to be grabbed while the player was on the surfboard. Whoever collected the most buoys won.
* The 2 players that collected all 10 buoys in this event's history were Mike "Superman" Schmidt of the Nickelodeon GUTS All Stars Special & Kelly "Wild Thing" Kirk of Israel vs. Christina vs. Kelly.

**Power Ski**

* First appearance: Debbie vs. Jimmy vs. Breanne
* Last appearance: Amy vs. Tracy vs. David
* Objective: Hanging from a harness, the player's feet were strapped to a special trick water ski. With the Wave Ball active, the object was for the players to pull themselves from one end of the pool to the other and back while on the ski, high-fiving the spotters at each end. The fastest time won the event.

### Season 3 debut

**Skurfin' Safari**

* First appearances: Robin vs. Jennifer vs. Bobby
* Last appearance: Ana vs. Hugo vs. Julia
* Objective: Players, who were were strapped to a water ski skurfboard while hanging from a harness, had to pull themselves to one end of the pool and back in the rapids. However, five buoys were lined up in the player's path and the contestant had to maneuver their way around the buoys in a slalom fashion in both directions, also having to high-five the spotter to end their attempt. Any time a player did not navigate around a buoy, it resulted in a two-second penalty. The penalty would also be imposed on any player who lifted their skurfboard out of the water for more than two seconds during their run. The player who cleared this event in the fastest time won.

**Free Kick**

* First appearance: Nikki vs. Tony vs. Robert
* Last appearance: Ana vs. Hugo vs. Julia
* Objective: Two automated cannons shot several soccer balls at each of the players, who stood in front of each of three goal nets. Players had to block as many of the soccer balls as they possibly could in the allotted time (30 seconds in the first and third seasons and 45 seconds in the second season and the fourth and final season). The player who made the most saves won. If the player stepped outside of his or her own box, he or she was given an automatic third place finish.

**Wild Pitch**

* First appearance: Birt vs. B.B. vs. Ryan
* Last appearance: Ronny vs. Justin vs. Jennifer
* Objective: Cannons shot several baseballs at high speeds directly at the three players. In the first three episodes featuring this event, the object of this game was to dodge as many balls as possible in 45 seconds, with the player getting hit the fewest times being the winner. The second and more familiar version of this event gave the players a baseball bat to use. Here, they tried to hit as many balls as they could with their bats in 30 seconds (60 seconds in later Season 1 playings and 45 seconds in the second season) with the winner being the person who hit the most balls. The balls counted as long as the player touched it with their bat in any manner. Players had to stay in their own boxes or else they would be disqualified. In the first season, the players were outfitted in catchers' gear and in the second season, they wore batter's helmets, safety goggles and protective chest pads.

### Season 2 debut

**Fumble**

* First appearance (Fumble): Nikki vs. Bianca vs. T.J.
* Last appearance (Fumble): Laura vs. Derek vs. Tina

* Last appearance (Scrumble): Julia vs. Bruno vs. Mario
* Objective: The players were outfitted in football equipment and were hooked to one another with elastics around their waists, as they stood in three different corners. When a player traveled in one direction, he or she pulled another player with them due to the effect of the elastics. In the center of the field, a barrage of footballs fell out of a tube and players had to recover the fumbles from the ground and put the footballs into their own baskets. The player with the most fumbles recovered in 45 seconds won. For *Global GUTS*, this event was renamed **Scrumble** and the players now had 60 seconds to throw rugby balls into their own designated goal posts instead of baskets.

* Objective: The field was divided into three separate lanes for this event. Each lane had barricades on alternating sides of the lane and a revolving goal at the end of it. The players used a hockey stick, a pair of roller skates and a ball for the puck; the object was to navigate around the barricades, keeping the ball in front of their stick and try to score a goal by hitting the ball into the revolving goal. They would then skate back and repeat the process. The player with the most goals scored in 60 seconds (45 seconds in the Matt/Scott/Carly episode) was the winner.
