Leading Light is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a POINTS level and was first introduced in Season 6 (Legacy).[1]
Course description[]
Standard version[]
Leading Light is a hunt that works similarly to Airtime, also with a scoring zone, but the difference is that Leading Light's scoring zone is small and it moves around.
The scoring zone starts in the center of the arena, where there is a Blizzard Fan surrounded by a circle of Slime. Just outside the center are three Force-Field walls that can be turned on and off with Buttons and three triangular raised platforms containing Spinning Plates. The raised platforms can be accessed by a set of Pivot Platforms on either side of each.
The outer area of the arena contains a rotating Conveyor Belt that contains three raised platforms and three Blizzard Fans. Outside of the conveyor belts, there are three raised platforms that can be accessed by ramps. These ramps may be blocked by Force-Field walls which can be turned on and off with buttons. On top of each outermost raised platform are a pair of Slingus Flinguses that may launch players away.
Alternate versions[]
During Season 2 only, and only in core shows, the following variants would appear:
- Inside the scoring zone, there may be a Low-Gravity Zone that moves along with the scoring zone.
- The central fan might be replaced with a Trolley Bot carrying a smaller Blizzard Fan on top.
- The pivot platforms might be replaced with a bunch of Thrusters, some on the ground facing upwards to help players access the raised platforms, and some on the wall to push players away.
- The spinning plates on all of the raised platforms might be replaced with a Trolley Bot carrying a square Bumper on top, for each of the platforms.
Course strategy[]
Standard version[]
Leading Light relies on the player having good situational awareness. Between the Pivot Platforms, Conveyor Belt, and Force-Fields, there are several moving parts that can trip up players if they do not anticipate them in advance. Pay attention to your surroundings and react accordingly.
Don't get too greedy with the scoring zone. Sometimes, it's better to leave the score zone to reposition yourself than to stay in the zone. For example, if the scoring zone leads you underneath one of the pivot platforms, it may be a better idea to instead go around the platform and jump on top of it.
Alternate versions[]
This section requires expanding.
The low-gravity zone makes it far easier to stay in the scoring zone. Simply continually jump and stay in the air as much as you can. This simultaneously helps you avoid bodyblocking and makes it easier to chase the scoring zone should it move abruptly over high ledges.

Trivia[]
- Leading Light is the first round to be completely absent from every show for an entire season after its introduction, as it wasn't available for the entirety of Season 1, returning with the launch of Season 2.
- It would later be followed by Sum Fruit in Season 2, as the round was vaulted and not featured in any of the limited-time modes that season, as well as Bean Hill Zone, currently limited to the Sonic's Adventure event during Season 1.
- Both Leading Light and Sum Fruit were still playable in Custom Show during those seasons however (Party Time Tumble for Leading Light, and Jungle Jumble and Solo Variety Show for Sum Fruit).
- It would later be followed by Sum Fruit in Season 2, as the round was vaulted and not featured in any of the limited-time modes that season, as well as Bean Hill Zone, currently limited to the Sonic's Adventure event during Season 1.
- "Stay in the moving light to qualify!" was Leading Light's description until release date.
