Not to be confused with the Towers of Power , a group of contestants who often compete in team-based ANW tournaments. In essence, the Power Tower consisted of a side-by-side obstacle course with several parts, and was used at the end of city qualifiers and city finals rounds in each city. The top two overall competitors would compete head-to-head on this obstacle, with the winning competitor receiving the Speed Pass during city qualifiers round or Safety Pass during city finals round.
The Power Tower once again appeared on American Ninja Warrior 12 , but compared to the previous season, there were changes added to the mechanics due to the changes in the competition format:. On the first episode of the qualifiers, however, no Power Tower match-up was shown. The top two finishers in that episode, Tyler Gillett and Jody Avila , should have competed for the right to bring their teammates to the semifinals.
However, after the final competitor finished the course, the final leaderboard was shown and the episode concluded. The Power Tower was never mentioned in the entire episode, and no explanation was given as to why it was not shown.
It was later confirmed that the reason for the Power Tower match-up not being shown is because it involved Drew Drechsel , who was edited out of the season due to NBC and A. Likely for this reason, the producers chose to air this particular qualifiers episode first, as it would be awkward to show the Power Tower one week, but not in subsequent weeks. Drechsel and Avila both competed on the Power Tower , and inside sources confirmed that Jody Avila won the match-up.
The top 4 competitors from Round Two would compete in a playoff bracket format. The top 2 competitors in each semifinal episode raced for the Safety Pass, which functioned exactly how it did on American Ninja Warrior The Power Tower made its first appearance outside American Ninja Warrior on Australian Ninja Warrior 4 , which was used during the heats and semifinals. The top two competitors from each heat or semifinal would compete on this side-by-side obstacle course.
During the heats, the winning competitor would receive a ten-second time advantage in the semifinals, while during the semifinals, the winning competitor would receive a second-chance advantage in the grand final in a very similar manner to the Safety Pass on American Ninja Warrior Later, the same version of the Power Tower used during the semifinals would be used during the final round of qualifying and finals on Australian Ninja Warrior: State of Origin.
During the qualifying, the Power Tower was used to determine which team would be eliminated from the competition i. The Power Tower returned on Australian Ninja Warrior 5 , which was used during the heats and semifinals.
During the heats, the winning competitor would automatically advance to the grand final in a very similar manner to the Speed Pass on American Ninja Warrior 11 , while during the semifinals, the winning competitor would receive a second-chance advantage in the grand final in a very similar manner to the Safety Pass on American Ninja Warrior It is worth noting that the four competitors who have automatically advanced to the grand final by winning the Power Tower during their respective heats did not compete in the semifinals.
