Koji Imada, Daisuke Miyagawa and Toru Nomaguchi became the first team to perfectly clear The Floor Room. Moreover, everyone jumped between platforms by themselves – most people in the later episodes usually used a strategy of climbing someone’s shoulder to have higher position that makes it easier to jump and land on the next platform; a method that’s commonly used for carrying women between platforms.
Masayasu Wakabayashi in The Wall Room became the only player who managed to collect two keys with the first two balls. In other words, he made no mistake when collecting two keys. He was also the only survivor in the team since both of his teammates failed the trial but Toshiaki managed to insert the key.
Toshiaki Kasuga in The Cliff Room became the first person who fell down after all of the wooden blocks in his space appeared. It was indeed his trademark though, as later he got a nickname for that.
