Events
- Atlaspheres — The MTN version of Atlaspheres follows a different format to the original. Five giant bowling pins are positioned across the arena. The contender has 60 seconds to knock as many of the pins down as possible whilst the Gladiator tries to prevent them from scoring. The contender can only move in a circular motion, and once a pin is missed, they cannot go back for it. Each pin is worth 3 points.
- 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.
- The Wall — Known as the MTN Mountain, this event follows the same rules as the original incarnation.
