The contender can only move in a circular motion, and once a pin is missed, they cannot go back for it. Each silver pin is worth 2 points and the big red pin is worth 4.
* '''''Duel''''' — This event follows the same rules as the original incarnation.
* '''''Hang Tough''''' — This event follows the same rules as the original incarnation.
* '''''Hit and Run''''' — Known as the ''Demolition Run'', this event follows the same rules as the original incarnation.

* '''''Suspension Bridge''''' — This event follows the same rules as the original incarnation.
