Intro[]

SASUKE 3, official name: SASUKE1999春 (literally: SASUKE 1999 Spring), was the third SASUKE tournament, airing in Spring 1999. Three new obstacles were added to the First Stage. The Rolling Maruta eliminated 41 competitors and since then attained a reputation as a feared obstacle. While the new Tarzan Jump and Rope Climb made the end of the stage even tougher, 13 competitors were still able to clear the First Stage, much fewer than other tournaments at the time. Six competitors cleared the Second Stage.

In the Third Stage, the killer obstacle in the previous tournament, the Pipe Slider, only eliminated Hasegawa Ken, while the other five competitors cleared the Third Stage, a record which has only been replicated once (in SASUKE 24). Ōmori Akira cleared the Third Stage for the third time in succession (once again, a record which has only replicated once by Nagano Makoto from SASUKE 11 to SASUKE 13), leading to changes to the stage in the following tournament. No one was able to achieve kanzenseiha, including future All-Stars Yamada Katsumi and Yamamoto Shingo. Yamada came the closest coming within inches of the goal, but unfortunately timed out. It was due to this performance that he earned the nickname as Mr. SASUKE (or dubbed as Mr. Ninja Warrior during G4's broadcast of Ninja Warrior).
