Water Tackle

Water Tackle is an obstacle introduced in the Shinjirarenai era (SSAS C2), replacing the Wall Lift which appeared in the last seven tournaments. Its function of the obstacle is similar to the SASUKE 32~ version of Tackle, but the track being a mini-sized swimming pool instead of just platform. Competitors have to keep pushing three boxes until the three boxes are joined altogether while swimming in a mini-sized swimming pool with 12 m in length and 1 m in depth.

The boxes each weight 240 kg (roughly 529 lbs), 300 kg (roughly 661 lbs), and 320 kg (roughly 705 lbs). In total, competitors have to push the weight of 860 kg (roughly 1895 lbs), almost to a ton. Like the Backstream in SASUKE, the Water Walls in ANW, the Tidal Tempest in Stickman SASUKE and later the Water Tackle Wall in ĐHN SASUKE, competitors are allowed to touch the water to progress, making it the fourth obstacle to do so.

However, in its debut tournament, the obstacle was not attempted despite the two competitors in the Second Stage being wiped out at the Flying Chute. But, producers decided to nerf this obstacle with the depth being decreased to 80 cm and the weight of the boxes remain the same in SSAS 7 due to its extreme difficulty.

In SSAS 8, the obstacle was modified once again with the water depth being increased to 105 cm (which is almost half of the depth to SASUKE's Backstream). Thus reverting it to the original version but with a 5 cm depth difference. Due to this, it nearly took out Nereus as he cleared this obstacle with a mere time to spare before time out on the next obstacle.

Later in SSAS 11, a slide is added at the end of the obstacle for prevent more time outs, as happened in SSAS 10 due to a very narrow time limit. Throughout its appearance, the obstacle mostly led competitors to time out at later obstacles, as the only competitor to fail this obstacle was David Kane in SSAS 11 by timing out before he can reach the slide which located at the end of the obstacle.

In SSAS 12, the obstacle was removed due to the Second Stage redesigned after Orm Marius's second kanzenseiha and Bruce Wayne's kanzenseihas in SSAS 11.
