The 2nd tournament, official name: SASUKE1998秋 (literally Sasuke 1998 Fall) was the first tournament held outdoors, at TBS Midoriyama Studios. While there were no new obstacles added to the First Stage, the time limit was reduced by 10 seconds. While there were almost no changes in the Second Stage, the Pipe Slider made its debut here and remained a Third Stage staple until SASUKE 17.
