Fall Guys has 25 mini games that require a range of skills (and a lot of patience).
Transcript
00:00At the time of filming, Fall Guys has 25 minigames, each one a more colourful and infuriating
00:06experience than the last.
00:07Not all Fall Guys games were created equal though.
00:10Some offer a refreshing, unique take on the multiplayer minigame and are endless fun,
00:14and others are team games.
00:16The Games Radar team sat down this week to rank the Fall Guys minigames from best to
00:20worst.
00:21For the full ranking, check out the article link in the description, but for now, here
00:24are our top 10 Fall Guys games.
00:30Number 10, Jump Club and Jump Showdown.
00:32We've put these two together to make our number 10 spot because they're both similar,
00:36and in this case full of pigeons apparently.
00:37These games are straightforward and fun, you just have to jump over the rotating beams
00:41and dodge the gaps.
00:43Jump Showdown is more complex as it has the added danger of gaps, but it's also possible
00:47to completely checkmate yourself on an isolated platform.
00:509, Fruit Shoot.
00:51Fruit Shoot can often be the most rewarding minigame in Fall Guys if you get incredibly
00:56lucky.
00:57This tactic is to channel your inner Shirou Imwe and strut forwards muttering, I am one
01:01with the force, and the force is with me.
01:04Because the treadmill belt pushing against you means it is slow to reach the end.
01:09If you get absolutely clattered by what I'm going to assume is a massive peach, or maybe
01:12an apple, you're instantly on the back foot.
01:15But if you do pull it off and qualify, the sense of achievement is enormous.
01:198, Full Mountain.
01:21Ah, Full Mountain.
01:23The fact this is only ever played as the final round does it a huge favour because it would
01:27be carnage with more than 12 players.
01:29This is essentially all about skill as long as you start in the front row.
01:33Because if you execute a perfect path to the crown, chances are you'll win.
01:37Just don't be that numpty who jumps to the crown while it's ascending because you'll
01:40almost certainly faceplant into the floor below.
01:437, Door Dash.
01:44I'm going to be real with you here because I'm the one editing the video so no one can
01:47stop me.
01:48I did not vote Door Dash highly, but it's a team vote and I guess we'll leave it in.
01:52British players will have a special appreciation for Door Dash thanks to Takeshi's castle
01:56because it's almost identical to the cult classic game show.
01:59There's a lot of luck involved here because if you hit a fake door, you better believe
02:03you're getting stuck in a bottleneck.
02:04But it's such a good laugh that it can't be ranked any worse than this.
02:07Plus, if you time it right, you can leap over a gaggle of beans trying to squeeze through
02:11the final door to the top below, which looks incredibly heroic.
02:156, Gate Crash.
02:16A similar concept to Door Dash, but instead of fake doors you've got gates that periodically
02:20open and close.
02:21This is a tad better because there's more skill involved in timing your rushes through
02:25each gate.
02:26Plus, if you jump over each ascending gate and bump the top, you receive a cheeky boost.
02:30Better yet, the slide to the finish line is rapid, providing you time your jump correctly.
02:355, Hit Parade.
02:36As classic as it can possibly get, Hit Parade is total wipeout in game form.
02:41You've got balance beams, turntables, swinging balls and a slippery slope to climb.
02:45Being knocked off isn't the end for you as you can rush back up to the top section,
02:49it's simply a case of who can reach the end first.
02:51It's pretty much all skill, no luck, so your Fall Guys metal will be seriously tested
02:564, Seesaw.
02:57Right, before you start typing your angry comments, we know this one is a bit divisive,
03:01but let's get real for a second, the people who ruin Seesaw are the ones who don't understand
03:06simple physics.
03:07You end up with these players who can't figure it out all piling onto one side of
03:10a seesaw and will make it tilt and everyone will fall off.
03:13But Seesaw isn't bad, the only challenge is getting competing beams to actually work
03:17together in order to reach the end, because you need teamwork if you don't want to be
03:20sat twiddling your thumbs waiting for beams to stop leaping on an almost vertical seesaw.
03:25So I suppose in that sense it is a team game, and it did make it onto the list.
03:293, Dizzy Heights.
03:31Another classic, Dizzy Heights is brilliant if you can get some momentum behind you.
03:34Soaring through the air from one spinning platform to the next feels great and while
03:38it's simple, it absolutely works.
03:40It's admittedly one of the easier races to complete, but there's nothing wrong with
03:44that when you need to go fast and furious.
03:462, The Whirlygig.
03:47The minigame that wins the award for best name and takes the silver medal in this full
03:51list is the Whirlygig, which is the windmill level.
03:54This gauntlet has spinning blades to dodge, it's long enough that one setback isn't
03:58the end of the world and it has that one windmill that will always yeet you to the side no matter
04:02what.
04:03Whirlygig's paths are wide enough that even having 40 plus players on this level isn't
04:07an issue, making it the best obstacle course in Fall Guys so far.
04:101, Hexagon.
04:12Could anything else have been number one?
04:13Hexagon is so simple yet offers so many ways to master it.
04:17Do you sprint around as fast as you can, eliminating tiles so other players have nothing to do
04:21but fall?
04:22Or do you stand on each one for a second before hopping to the next?
04:26Or for a third, curveball play style, do you fall all the way to the final layer, then
04:30start running in a spiral from the middle outwards so everyone who eventually makes
04:34it down will expect another level but instantly hit the slime?
04:37You might think that one's weird but there are people on the team who do that.
04:40Hexagon is one of the only minigames that gives the player the freedom to play how they
04:44like, and it's a pure joy every time it shows up on the playlist.
04:48So there you have it, the top 10 Fall Guys games as voted for by the GamesRadar team.
04:53If you think we got it wrong, let us know in the comments below.
04:56Unless you're going to try and tell me that Fall Ball is number one, because I will not
04:59hear it.
