SUMO RINGS
   Sumo Kapow   

  Win a sumo fight
  Lose a sumo fight
  The purple ball!

There are five different coloured sumo rings: red, blue, yellow, green and purple. Each has a different guard inside. To begin, the contestant picks a ball at random out of a box. The colour of the ball they pick corresponds to the colour of a ring, telling them which guard they must fight.
Now it's a straightforward sumo match. The fighters have to try and get their opponent on the ground or out of the ring to win.
Some guards are a lot easier to beat than others. Regular fighters include Spud (a guard in a big Konishiki Yasokichi head costume) who is the easiest to beat, Shin Suganuma (a weedy little guard), and pro sumo wrestler Shinoburyo (Porker) who is the hardest to win against.

Variations
Ep#
13 Two-on-One
This this family version, both parent and child fight together against one guard.
28, 73 & 116 Water Sumo
The same game as usual, except this time all the rings are platforms floating in the sea.
96 Bum Sumo
After the contestant picks a ball to determine their opponent, both of them stand back-to-back on a small podium in a pond. When the fight begins, the guard and contestant have to try and push each other off by using only their backsides.
The one who falls in the water is the loser.
