Fall Guys has 25 mini games that require a range of skills (and a lot of patience).
Transcript
00:00 At the time of filming, Fall Guys has 25 minigames, each one a more colourful and infuriating
00:06 experience than the last.
00:07 Not all Fall Guys games were created equal though, some offer a refreshing, unique take
00:11 on the multiplayer minigame and are endless fun, and others are team games.
00:16 The Games Radar team sat down this week to rank the Fall Guys minigames from best to
00:20 worst.
00:21 For the full ranking, check out the article link in the description.
00:23 But for now, here are our top 10 Fall Guys games.
00:26 10.
00:31 Jump Club and Jump Showdown
00:32 We've put these two together to make our number 10 spot, because they're both similar,
00:36 and in this case full of pigeons apparently.
00:37 These games are straightforward and fun, you just have to jump over the rotating beams
00:41 and dodge the gaps.
00:43 Jump Showdown is more complex as it has the added danger of gaps, but it's also possible
00:47 to completely checkmate yourself on an isolated platform.
00:50 9.
00:51 Fruit Shoot
00:52 Fruit Shoot can often be the most rewarding minigame in Fall Guys if you get incredibly
00:56 lucky.
00:57 A common tactic is to channel your inner Shirou Imwe and strut forwards muttering "I am
01:01 one with the force, and the force is with me", because the treadmill belt pushing
01:05 against you means it is slow to reach the end.
01:09 If you get absolutely clattered by what I'm going to assume is a massive peach, or maybe
01:12 an apple, you're instantly on the back foot.
01:15 But if you do pull it off and qualify, the sense of achievement is enormous.
01:19 8.
01:20 Fall Mountain Ah, Fall Mountain.
01:23 The fact this is only ever played as the final round does it a huge favour because it would
01:27 be carnage with more than 12 players.
01:29 This is essentially all about skill as long as you start in the front row, because if
01:33 you execute a perfect path to the crown, chances are you'll win.
01:37 Just don't be that numpty who jumps for the crown while it's ascending, because
01:40 you'll almost certainly faceplant into the floor below.
01:43 7.
01:44 Door Dash
01:45 I'm going to be real with you here, because I'm the one editing the video so no one
01:47 can stop me.
01:48 I did not vote Door Dash highly, but it's a team vote and I guess we'll leave it in.
01:52 British players will have a special appreciation for Door Dash thanks to Takeshi's Castle
01:56 because it's almost identical to the cult classic game show.
01:59 There's a lot of luck involved here because if you hit a fake door, you better believe
02:03 you're getting stuck in a bottleneck.
02:04 But it's such a good laugh that it can't be ranked any worse than this.
02:07 Plus, if you time it right, you can leap over a gaggle of beans trying to squeeze through
02:11 the final door to the top below, which looks incredibly heroic.
02:15 6.
02:16 Gate Crash
02:17 You've got Door Dash, but instead of fake doors, you've got gates that periodically
02:20 open and close.
02:21 This is a tad better because there's more skill involved in timing your rushes through
02:25 each gate.
02:26 Plus, if you jump over each ascending gate and bump the top, you receive a cheeky boost.
02:30 Better yet, the slide to the finish line is rapid, providing you time your jump correctly.
02:35 5.
02:36 Hit Parade
02:37 As classic as it can possibly get, Hit Parade is total wipeout in game form.
02:41 You've got balance beams, turntables, swinging balls and a slippery slope to climb.
02:45 Being knocked off isn't the end for you as you can rush back up to the top section.
02:49 It's simply a case of who can reach the end first.
02:51 It's pretty much all skill, no luck, so your Fall Guys metal will be seriously tested
02:56 here.
02:57 4.
02:58 Seesaw
02:59 Right, before you start typing your angry comments, we know this one is a bit divisive,
03:01 but let's get real for a second.
03:02 The people who ruin Seesaw are the ones who don't understand simple physics.
03:07 You end up with these players who can't figure it out all piling onto one side of
03:10 a seesaw and will make it tilt and everyone will fall off.
03:13 The seesaw isn't bad, the only challenge is getting competing beams to actually work
03:17 together in order to reach the end.
03:19 You need teamwork if you don't want to be sat twiddling your thumbs waiting for beams
03:22 to stop leaping on an almost vertical seesaw.
03:25 So I suppose in that sense it is a team game.
03:29 3.
03:30 Dizzy Heights
03:31 Another classic, Dizzy Heights is brilliant if you can get some momentum behind you.
03:34 Soaring through the air from one spinning platform to the next feels great and while
03:38 it's simple, it absolutely works.
03:40 It's admittedly one of the easier races to complete, but there's nothing wrong with
03:44 that when you need to go fast and furious.
03:46 2.
03:47 The Whirligig
03:48 The minigame that wins the award for best name and takes the silver medal in this full
03:51 list is the Whirligig, which is the windmill level.
03:54 This gauntlet has spinning blades to dodge, it's long enough that one setback isn't
03:58 the end of the world, and it has that one windmill that will always yeet you to the
04:01 side no matter what.
04:03 Whirligig's paths are wide enough that even having 40+ players on this level isn't
04:07 an issue, making it the best obstacle course in Fall Guys so far.
04:10 1.
04:11 Hexagon
04:12 Could anything else have been number one?
04:13 Hexagon is so simple yet offers so many ways to master it.
04:17 Do you sprint around as fast as you can, eliminating tiles so other players have nothing to do
04:21 but fall?
04:22 Or do you stand on each one for a second before hopping to the next?
04:26 Or for a third, curveball play style, do you fall all the way to the final layer, then
04:30 start running in a spiral from the middle outwards so everyone who eventually makes
04:34 it down will expect another level but instantly hit the slime?
04:37 You might think that one's weird but there are people on the team who do that.
04:40 Hexagon is one of the only minigames that gives the player the freedom to play how they
04:44 like and it's a pure joy every time it shows up on the playlist.
04:48 So there you have it, the top 10 Fall Guys games as voted for by the GamesRadar team.
04:53 If you think we got it wrong, let us know in the comments below.
04:56 Unless you're going to try and tell me that Fall Ball is number one, because I will not
04:59 hear it.
05:00 Thanks again to GamesRadar for all your guides, reviews and previews and thanks for watching.
