| ~ Reveal Announcement (10 June 2020) |
Dizzy Heights is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a COURSE level and was first introduced in the beta version. It is one of three gauntlets available in Season 1 (Legacy).
According to the game website, Dizzy Heights was designed by Joseph Juson.
Course description[]
Standard version[]
Dizzy Heights consists of 4 sections, and has a main gimmick of moving around fast. The first consists of several spinning disks that then lead into the next section.
The second section consists of four lanes, with squares to separate them and paths between the squares to allow players to cross lanes. At the end of each lane is a blaster that shoots large rolling balls. In between lanes 1 and 2 and lanes 3 and 4 are ramps to the next section.
The third section is like the first, but much narrower and only one disc at the end instead of multiple. The gaps between the disks are larger, meaning players are forced to jump from one to the other. There is a ramp and then a gap to the final section. Players who fall off the disks must navigate the lower path, which consists of two identical separate paths containing spinning walls with gaps that players can jump through. Ramps at the end of both paths grant players access to the fourth section.
The fourth section consists of 3 very large but somewhat slower spinning disks on top of another, with the middle spinning counter clockwise and the other two clockwise. The radius of the disks decrease vertically, such that the entire platformable section of one disk is fully revealed, but there is no horizontal gap to the next disk. There is a wall that cuts of the farther half of the disks, and in the middle of the wall is a ramp with 3 bumps in a triangle formation that leads to the finish. In the background are rolling ball shooters, and they shoot on the ramp. The shot balls are split extra with the 3 bumps.

Course strategy[]
Standard version[]
In the first area, jump between the rotating disks when you are adjacent to the next one. Always travel the way the disk is spinning, because it is always faster, even when it is longer than going against the disk. If the disk directions are not randomised, there actually is an optimal path[2] that will more often than not leave you at the front of the pack if executed successfully.
In the second area, go to the adjacent line if a ball comes for you. Try to stay in the middle two, as you will have more options to avoid balls. An alternate method would be to dive just before the ball hits you, at the left or rightmost of the ball; this will minimise the time where you lose control.
The third area utilizes the same strategy as the first, however, you are now able to fall into the gaps between the disks. Don't panic if you fall - the time difference between the top and the bottom is minimal. Also, you can use the bottom spinners to your advantage by using them to propel you forward. In the intro cutscene, pay attention to the direction of the final disk - it usually spins anti-clockwise, so take the right path, but if it spins clockwise, take the left path. This will help to save a bit of time.
In the final area, make sure to jump when you go over the hill. Most beginners don't see this and fall down, costing them a qualification. When you do this, just jump across the ramps and avoid the balls.
Variations[]
| Name | Picture | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Randomized Spinning Plates |
|
If the disc directions are randomised, just improvise a path through it. Look at how the arrows are arranged and follow them accordingly. |
| Dizzyless Heights Variation |
|
Bouncing across the middle path is possible, though may feel a bit slow, just keep bouncing slightly toward the centre, never go straight as you'll eventually fall to the lower path. Going to the lower path to begin with shouldn't make much of a difference in this variation. |
| Pendulum Variation |
|
The Pendulums aren't that hard to dodge if timed properly, just keep your eyes on where they swing. |
| Big Yeetus |
|
This Yeetus is pretty safe as there is no danger of elimination if you fall out of the map; a well-timed hit can send you directly to the final uphill stretch. |
| Fruit Cannon Variation |
|
The berries are easier to dodge then the boulders, as they are smaller. If a watermelon is fired out it may clog up the area. Carefully find space next to them and squeeze through. |
| Thicc Bonkus Variation |
|
The Thicc Bonkuses aren't that hard to dodge if timed properly, just keep your eyes on where they swing. |
| Large Beam Variation |
|
Pick the safe path by going around the sides, although you'd still have to contend with the beam at the end, it is easier to qualify this way. You could try to go straight and tackle the beam head-on. This stategy is far more risky, as you are much more susceptible to being flung off and losing ground to your opponents.
Advanced Strategy: Get hit by the large beam to fling yourself up the ramp. |
| Rotating Beams Variation |
|
Dodge the Spinning Bars like you would dodge the beams in The Whirlygig, just jump over them when they approach.
Advanced Strategy: Try to get launched by one of the bars to speed ahead of the competition. |
| Slingus Flingus Variation |
|
If you utilise the 'dive-past-the-side-of-the-ball' strategy, the Flinguses won't be an issue. If you get lucky, the Flinguses could send you on top of the squares separating the lanes, so you could pass this section by just jumping from square to square instead. |
| Dizzy Heights X |
|
The X-treme version of Dizzy Heights only has one major point where you can get eliminated, just stay clear of other players near the end and you should be fine. |
| Blast Ball Bangers Variation |
|
Ignore the Blast Balls, they'll only slow you down if you pick them up. Running through the level normally is the best plan of action, as each section actually becomes slightly safer due to less obstacles appearing due to the 'safety' platforms with the Blast Balls on them.
If you do choose to pick up a Blast Ball, immediately jump dive (so that you don't get slowed down as much) diagonally forward to throw it extra far, possibly hitting players that are up ahead. |

Trivia[]
- The Spinning Plates in the level loading screen image look different than they look in game. In game, there are only 6 arrows and they have smooth edges and rounded corners, while the ones featured in the loading screen have 12 arrows with sharp edges and corners.
- Close inspection reveals that the skybox of the map is different, featuring clouds and a smooth sky.
- Slime Climb and See Saw also have this problem where the loading screen image is different compared to the actual map.
- Dizzy Heights was at one point known as "Rotatonator".
