Ninja Warrior Worldwide 12

Ninja Warrior Worldwide 12 was the twelfth season of Ninja Warrior Worldwide, and the second season after Morimoto Yūsuke, Daniel Gil and Barclay Stockett's total victories in NWW10, and the ninth season after Drew Drechsel's total victory in NWW3. For this season, ShadicMCGS returned as the host for his twelfth season, Genjitsu returned as the co-host for his sixth season, and Jagon11 returns as the co-host for his fourth season (which was announced that it would be his final season hosting, as contract negotiations never started).

Once again, the format changes once again. However it reverts to a scrapped format back in NWW11, being qualifiers. There are some adjustments that have been made from it however. The format is as follows:


 * Each qualifier has a range of amount of competitors in them.
 * Qualifiers will be held to decide who will compete in the tournament, with the following rules:
 * Four qualifiers will be held for different continents and countries.
 * In the qualifiers;
 * The top 50 competitors and the top 10 female competitors (which are in separate leaderboards) will advance to the semifinals.
 * The top four overall competitors would compete in a tournament-style fashion on the Power Tower, for the Speed Pass, which is a ticket to the grand finals.
 * The Mega Wall returns, however, competitors only get one shot to clear the obstacle; if they do not complete it, they fail. If they successfully clear the obstacle, they earn ten thousand in their respective currency.
 * In the semifinals;
 * The competitor who already earned the Speed Pass during city qualifiers round might choose not to compete in the continent finals round (since his/her spot in the global finals had already been guaranteed).
 * The top 20 competitors and the top 4 female competitors (which are in separate leaderboards) will advance to the grand finals.
 * However, if one of the competitors in the top 20 was the one who had already received the Speed Pass, the competitor who finished in 21st place would automatically fill the last spot for the grand finals.
 * The top four competitors would compete in a tournament-style fashion on the Power Tower, for the Time Pass, which allows competitors to run the first two stages without a time limit.
 * In the grand finals, the format remains with the same four stage-format, with a few changes:
 * Competitors with the Time Pass will not be timed (counting down), although they can request if they want to be timed, but will not be alerted.
 * In Stage Two, the timer will no longer reset to 40 seconds at the split paths, but will instead lock-out Revali's Gale when there are 40 seconds left (or 125 seconds have passed).
