Ninja Warrior Worldwide 13

Ninja Warrior Worldwide 13 was the thirteenth season of Ninja Warrior Worldwide, and the third season after Morimoto Yūsuke, Daniel Gil and Barclay Stockett's total victories in NWW10, and the tenth season after Drew Drechsel's total victory in NWW3. For this season, ShadicMCGS returned as the host for his thirteenth season, and Genjitsu returned as the co-host for his seventh season.

The format remains relatively the same from the previous season, with a few changes made from last time:
 * In the qualifiers:
 * The Mega Wall returns, however, competitors now only get two shots to clear the obstacle; if they do not complete it, they fail. If they successfully clear the obstacle in their first attempt, they earn ten thousand in their respective currency; if they successfully clear the obstacle in their second attempt, they earn five thousand in their respective currency.
 * The Power Tower returns, still retaining the tournament-style competition, and the prize being the Speed Pass.
 * In the semifinals:
 * Once again, the Power Tower returns, except the prize is now the Safety Pass from ANW11, meaning if he/she failed to complete either Stage One or Stage Two during the global finals, he/she was allowed to reattempt it once. However, if he/she could complete both stages, his/her Safety Pass would be voided (it could not be rolled over to the next season).

A slight change was made to the ranks, because of the introduction of the qualifiers and semifinals, so now the Novice rank is given to those who's personal best is the qualifiers and semifinals, while the Regular rank is given to those who's personal best is the entirety of Stage One; every Novice-ranked competitors before NWW12 are now promoted to Regular.

Notably, a scrapped feature was that there was originally supposed to be a fifth qualifier, centered on contestants from the Netflix show Ultimate Beastmaster. It would've feature obstacles from (and inspired by) the show; however, due to a limited competitor pool (at 270 competitors), and each round having a cap of 100 competitors, the final round was scrapped before casting started. As a result of this (and recent seasons that aired in 2021), many top competitors were not invited to compete including Felipe Camargo, Haibin Qu, and Corbin Mackin.

The Ninja Warrior Worldwide: Obstacle Design Challenge was planned to return for this tournament, however, it was decided to continue the trend of appearing in every third competition, so the fourteenth season will have it return.

Continent Qualifiers
The qualifiers on this season featured the Crossroads, a point on the course where the competitors will have to indicate their choice between two paths, labelled  A  and  B, with two obstacles each to tackle. Path A featured obstacles that have appeared on past seasons, while Path B featured new, original obstacles on the NWW series. As a side note, the concept has been used in multiple international Ninja Warrior formats.

Trivia

 * Notably, there are no newcomers coming from the United Kingdom, as all of them have competed in last season's qualifier.
 * Because Mike Snow was chosen to represent United Kingdom instead of Australia, another competitor from Australia was invited, being Andrea Hah, who competed in the country's first Record Breakers special.
 * In addition, the only invited competitor from Australia who didn't compete was Luke Filippi, who withdrew from competing. His alternate, Tom O'Halloran, competed in his place.
 * Lastly, because Deren Perez competed in the America qualifiers, an additional competitor from other regions in Oceania area was brought to compete.
 * Some notable competitors that failed to qualify for the continent finals include:

Continent Finals
Like the qualifiers, the Crossroads return for the semifinals, and have the same obstacles as their qualifier counterpart. However, the ninth obstacle (where ANW13's Split Decision was) is now part of the Crossroads as well, but does not have a separate selection to itself, meaning that the decision made earlier in the course has an impact on ninth obstacle.
