  • Prize Money - This season offered two separate prizes, unlike previous seasons. The furthest and fastest competitor through the four stages of the grand final received $100,000. This was Charlie Robbins, who, out of the five Grand Final contestants who made it to stage 3, reached the furthest obstacle in the fastest time. There was also an additional prize of $200,000 offered for full completion of the course, which entailed making it through to stage 4, Mount Midoriyama, and successfully making the rope climb ascent in the allotted time. However, as no competitor successfully completed the third stage of the Grand Final, the 4th stage and full completion of the course remained unattempted, and the bonus prize unawarded this season.
  • Warped Wall - This season included two warped walls during the heats, the ‘standard’ Warped Wall with a height of 4.25 metres and a one metre taller Mega Warped Wall (5.25 metres). The choice was up to the contestant on which to attempt however competitors were not allowed to switch between walls after failing an attempt, e.g. if they opted for the Mega Warped Wall and failed they were not allowed to switch over to the lower standard Warped Wall. If they chose the Mega Warped Wall and reached the top they won a bonus $5,000.[3]

  • Flying Bars

Rob Patterson failed on the Body Prop.

The other 4 contestants all made it as far as the Floating Doors, where they all fell.

There was no time limit imposed in which to complete Stage 3 and times were not shown on-screen. However, with no competitor completing the stage and with four all failing at the second last obstacle, the winner was decided as the competitor who had reached the furthest obstacle in the fastest time. In a presentation ceremony at the end of the episode it was revealed that that person was Charlie Robbins and he was declared Australian Ninja Warrior for 2019 and awarded the prize for that title.
