Race

Race rounds are a type of rounds in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. They involve a linear map and the first players to complete the objective are qualified.

Race selection

 * Episodes always start with a Race round. The subsequent rounds before the Final are a combination of Race, Survival, Hunt, Logic and/or Team rounds.
 * Some special shows, such as Slime Survivors, may not start with a race, and/or feature no races at all, however.
 * Due to the player requirements set, some races only typically appear in rounds 1-2, while some only appear in rounds 3-4.
 * Usually, Fruit Chute, Tip Toe, and Wall Guys fall into the latter category. Ski Fall, Slime Climb, and Freezy Peak straddles both categories, the first two typically appearing in rounds 2-3, the last one in 2-4 (but more usually 3-4). The remaining races typically appear in rounds 1-2.
 * Special playlists might cause some races to appear outside of these usual rounds.
 * For example, Big Fans, which tends to appear in round 2 (likely due to its high elimination rate), could potentially appear in round 1 in the Mix It Up! playlist.

Miscellaneous mechanics

 * It is imperative not to take too long to cross the finish line. In all race modes, there is a hidden timer of 3 minutes, which is a few seconds after the song being played loops. Once this timer has elapsed, everyone remaining will be eliminated.
 * Slime Climb's timer is 2 minutes 20 seconds instead.
 * Wall Guys' timer is 5 minutes instead.
 * This hidden timer is more likely to come into effect in races that may take a significant amount of time to complete in general, like Slime Climb, Knight Fever, See Saw, and Big Fans.
 * As of Season 3:
 * The countdown timer will appear when only 15 seconds is left.
 * Ski Fall's timer is 5 minutes, though this limit is realistically not reached.
 * As of Season 4:
 * Roll On's timer is 5 minutes; the countdown timer was added in Season 4.5.
 * Short Circuit's timer is 5 minutes, though this limit is realistically not reached.
 * As of Season 4.5:
 * The Slimescraper's timer is 3 minutes 10 seconds.
 * The game does not break ties, so in rare cases it is possible for more players to qualify than the specified quota, if both are deemed to have crossed the finish line at the same time. Theoretically, this can give a chance for an entire lobby to qualify, but has only been seen adding 2 extra qualifiers at most.

List of races
Though not specifically categorized, Fall Mountain, Hoverboard Heroes, and Rock 'n' Roll also fit this category.

Trivia
On reaching the finish line of a race round, confetti is shot from the bottom left and bottom right corner of the screen.
