American Ninja Warrior is a spin-off of Sasuke and began on December 12, 2009 in Los Angeles, California and the top 10 move on to compete at Mt. Midoriyama.
1st season differences from Sasuke
The 1st Season of American Ninja Warrior has a few notable differences from the Japanese ("Sasuke") version. They are
-In stage 1, competitors actually compete against each other for the 30 fastest times to advance to stage 2, unlike in Japan where competitors just need to complete the course in a certain time limit. The American version sets a limit of 30 competitors advancing to stage 2. There's no official limit of competitors for stage 1 stated whereas in Japan, only 100 competitors can attempt stage 1.
-Stage 2 is in reality an expanded version of stage 1. Again, competitors are competing against the course and each other for the best times to advance. Only 15 competitors with the best times advance to stage 3.
-Stage 3 in the American version is essentially a version of army Boot camp. In stage 3, competitors have to complete 4 different tasks with the lowest combined time (consisting of carrying 10 bricks across a beach while being held back by bungie cords, carrying barrels over logs, hopping through tires, etc). Only the 10 competitors with the lowest times win a trip and a chance to compete at Mt. Midoriyama in Japan. As such, there is no "final" stage in the American version.
