- StarsDick ClarkMichael McKayV.I. KingGame show where in the first round 49 contestants (numbered 1 to 49) are whittled down to six in the first round, where Dick Clark asks them mathematical word problems, such as, "What is the number of Brady kids added to the number of Backstreet Boys?". In the second round, the six survivors face off in a sudden death round where the answers are the numbers of the finalists (e.g., if contestant #14 is still playing, a question may have 14 as an answer). The round works like this: Dick Clark asks a question. Once one of the players thinks they know the answer, they must lock-in with an answer. If they are right and it's someone else's number, the player with that number is out. If they are right and it's their number, then that contestant stays in the game. But if they're wrong, they're out. The winner goes on to play the Wonderwall, where he/she can win one million dollars by answering 20 questions in three minutes. If the Wonderwall player misses three questions, or doesn't bail out when time runs out, he/she loses all of the Wonderwall earnings. In addition, a home viewer can win $50,000 in a phone contest. The numbers in that contest were made up from the end digits of the 6 finalists (e.g. contestant #14 would add a "4") and the end digit of the Wonderwall contestant's last correct answer.

- CreatorScott FishmanAlbie HechtByron TaylorStarsMoira QuirkMike O'MalleyKelli MarchewkaThree kids dawning the different colors blue, red, and purple compete in relatively cool-looking olympic-style games to achieve as many points as they can. At the end of every episode, they climb a big fake mountain, braving tumbling rocks made out of styrofoam, sparkling glitter, shooting steam, and loud sounds while trying to hit all the "Actuators" along their way to the summit including the final one at the very top. The first place winner gets a "piece of the rock" which is a big green glowing rock-shaped thing, that is supposed to be from the mountain they just climbed. The mountain is called the "Aggro Crag" later changed to the "Mega Crag" during the 3rd season, and finally the "Super Aggro Crag" for Global GUTS.
- CreatorBob SynesStarsJ.D. RothSamantha ForrestJacqueline ForrestA kid's game show that pitted two teams of two contestants each. They had to answer trivia questions and participate in challenges, such as trying to nail targets in the audience seats with water balloons. This was followed by a race between the two teams around a track that involved a variety of bizarre push carts. The team with the most points at the end of the game got to enter the Fun House. The two contestants took turns running through the collection of wacky rooms and obstacles to find tags that represented the prizes printed on them. The contestants won all prizes printed on the tags that they collected and took out of the Fun House before the two minute time limit was up.

- StarsClea MontvilleMark Maxwell-SmithMario LopezThree contestants of three teams, all dressed up from the beginning of their powersuits, compete to win prizes. Host Roth showed an out of focus picture (e.g., person, place, thing or a T.V. show), every time the contestant buzzed in with the right identification to the picture earned 10 points and the same contestant was asked a multiple-choice question about the picture (e.g., pop culture, storybook, spelling words, places, etc.), worth 5 points. The first team who ended the game with 50 points was able to run inside the maze with the help of his/her partner, after a decision has been made (whether if he/she will go first or second). Then, after the first team won, the remaining two contestants went right into the speed round where each correct picture was still 10 points and host Roth had stopped asking questions, afterwards. An incorrect guess on a picture meant that Roth had read a clue to what that picture is without revealing anymore of it. The second team with 50 points went right inside the maze. In earler episodes of Season 1 is that the 3 contestants had 10 seconds to buzz in and correctly identify the picture to win whatever point value was awarded on the clock, and then the contestant could answer the question correctly in order to double their points. If time ran out or if all 3 contestants got the picture wrong, then no points were awarded at that time, and the 1st 2 teams who ended the game with more than 50 points went into the maze. In the maze, after all the kids have been dressed up, the contestants' partner used the joystick, connected with their partner (in any direction his/her partner chooses), before winning the game, in the fastest time. In the Mirror Maze, the contestants' partner had to navigate the contestant to the Mirror-Man (who eventually took over their path), and the contestant had to answer a question correctly posed by Roth in order to proceed. The contestant who answered the question correctly, they could go, but if the contestant got the question incorrectly and/or pass, then host Roth had automatically asked another question, 3 incorrect answers and/or passed questions, the contestant has already made had forced the contestant to wait for 5 more seconds, until the runner was told to go. While finding 2 Power Sticks, the contestants' partner had him/her to go to the Honeycomb Maze, where the contestants' visor had to come down and his/her partner had to direct him in the appropriate area of the contestant of where he/she is supposed to go, into the Chamber of Knowledge. After the contestant was told to put his/her visor up, then he/she entered the chamber, where he/she had to answer all 3 true/false questions from three of the six guardians. If the contestant got 1 right from a guardian, then the door automatically opened, if the contestant gets it wrong, then one of the 5 guardians asked another question. 3 incorrect answers automatically opened the door with excessive time. If the contestant got all 3 correct answers, then he/she took a short trip to the jar to stop the contestants' time. Then, its team #2 turn to do the same, to see if the contestant can beat Team #1's time (e.g., 1:56 (best time ever), 1:57, 2:40, 4:30 (worst time ever), etc.), and if the contestant does this even quicker, then the contestant went on to the Prize Mountain, with his/her partner, if Team #2's time ran out, and had gone over the 1st team's time, then their opponents automatically went on to Prize Mountain. In Prize Mountain, there were 5 monitors, (e.g., both of them flashing PRIZE/NO PRIZE), after their partner locked in on the monitor, the contestant had to shoot in front of the monitor, aimed and (shouted out fire, very often). If the contestant fired in on 3 "PRIZE" monitors before locking in on 3 "NO PRIZE" monitors, then the contestant went home with a grand prize (e.g., a $500 shopping spree at Sharper Image at Beverly Hills). In the Fall of 1995, Roth was replaced by actor/heartthrob, Mario Lopez, and the rules stay the same, but the buzzers were replaced by laser podiums and there was a "Bonus Picture" worth 15 points, and once again, 2 teams who ended the game with 50 points went into the maze to see which teammates has the fastest time, and the bonus round has been removed.
- StarsRon PearsonBurton RichardsonPamela HillIn "Shopping Spree," two teams, each comprised of two players, tried to guess a prize one of the players on each team chose beforehand, which was hidden inside one of six on-stage "stores." If player #2 on the first team correctly guessed the prize player #1 picked on the first try, they won the prize and moved on to the next "store," where the process was repeated; if player #2 made a wrong guess, there were clues pinned (!) all over player #1 to help player #2. Shortly thereafter, the second team played; whichever team amassed the most prizes in the least time won. The winning team then went on to play two more rounds, the next of which (called "The Double-Up Derby") was similar to the first but the prize was now picked by a member of the studio audience and the dollar amounts were doubled. In the final round (the "Birthday Party"), the team had to guess, within one minute and fifteen seconds, what items were identified with certain stars. If the team supplied all the right answers within that time limit, they won either a cash award or the title prize and a vacation (which was determined by the results of the previous round).
