"Ninja Warrior" sounds suspiciously like "Takeshi's Castle", the show that was given the MST3K treatment to come up with MXC. Though it sounds a little more serious than TC was, where mud was the "safety factor" for everything.

No, no. Nothing like Takeshi's Castle. That's meant to be silly & fun. Ninja Warrior is all about physical prowess. I think it's closer to a Japanese take on the "World's Strongest Man Competition" type thing, except you have to have balance & coordination, too. Extreme obstacle course is about right.

This is a real competition for extreme athletes, not some silly game show with weird costumes and foam boulders.
