Tip Toe Finale, also known as Tiptoe Finale, is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a FINAL level and was first introduced in Season 2. It was first revealed in a blog on 12 September 2022.[1]
Course description[]
This map features four islands serving as the starting locations for the participating squads. Each island has a bridge of tiles (8 tiles wide, 20 tiles long) connecting it to a central island, which possesses the crown. Much like the original Tip Toe round, some of the tiles can be walked on and others will disappear when stepped on, causing the player to tumble. Players must work together with their squadmates to determine the correct path across the tile bridge to reach the crown first.
The central island has a stack of four rotating rings with a bouncy surface, the crown ascending and descending above it. Each ring has blue platforms that must be jumped on to reach the flat surface on the top of the structure, from which the crown can be grabbed.
There are also four cannons within the arena, each with an associated green button on the starting islands. Whenever a player steps on the button, the cannon will shoot a projectile onto the tile bridge belonging to their squad, showing whether the tiles it lands on are real or fake. The aim of the cannon oscillates back and forth, so timing is necessary to reveal the nature of specific tiles on the board.
In a contrived scenario, if 5 minutes passes without anyone grabbing the crown, the round times out and everyone is eliminated. In rare cases, because the game does not break ties, multiple players can win if the game adjudges them to have grabbed the crown at the same time.
Alternate versions[]
This variant is exclusive to Duos:
- Hover Platforms will appear, which will reduce the number of tiles, thus reducing the difficulty of playing this round in Duos Show. There will be two gaps of tiles and four hover platforms, two on each gap. The color of the tiles in this variant is also brighter. This variant is guaranteed in Duos Show, and the standard version will only show up in 4-player squad shows.
Warped Tip Toe Finale[]
Warped Tip Toe Finale differs depending on the mode it is played in. In normal 4-player Squads Show:
- A series of green and yellow wormholes perpendicular to the course frequently move back and forth.
- A blue and red wormhole underneath the tiles move back and forth; these lead to wormholes located in the air that eject you in the direction of the crown.
In Duos, however:
- The Hover Platforms are replaced with giant moving wormholes. These lead to corresponding moving wormholes in the air that eject you in the direction of the crown, directly before the next section. The wormholes in a single coloured set do not move at the same speed.
Course strategy[]
Unlike its predecessor Tip Toe, playing carefully is not recommended. Keep moving forward to reveal more and more of the path for you and your teammates. You can also try to jump-dive so your fall guy's arm hits the tile and revealing if its fake or not without falling and respawning back at the start. Keeping track of where the path is in your head is recommended. Additionally, if you manage to catch a glimpse of your opponents, observe their path as well- every team's path is exactly the same, so if they are ahead, copy their movements.
Again, unlike Tip Toe, the last two rows of tiles may not always be in the same column. However, it is possible to bypass the last row of tiles entirely by jumping and diving. In addition, keep in mind that you can jump and dive across a gap of two tiles, which can help you reach the end of the path faster.
When you reach the center, climb up the rotating blocks. Keep in mind that you can jump and dive up to the third block from the first one, and from the third up to the top. Be sure to use the grab button to latch on to the crown for your squad!
Known bugs[]
Player spawn overlap*
- As of 20 October 2022, a bug could occur where multiple squads could spawn on the same area, with one player of each squad occupying 2 spawn points.
- This bug was exclusive to the Warped version of this round, and only available in Duos Show.
No ending path*
- As of 3 October 2023, a bug could occur where the last four rows of tiles would all be fake, making it impossible for players to reach the Crown, resulting into both teams losing. As the bug was only exclusive to Squads, a content update removed the round from the show a day after being unvaulted.
*This name is a conjectural name and has not been somewhat uniformly agreed upon.

Trivia[]
- Concept art and an unused round icon that date back to Season 1 were found, meaning that this round was originally intended to be added in earlier.
- Tip Toe Finale, along with
Pixel Painters, are currently the only squad-exclusive rounds, and have never appeared in Solo Show.
- During Season 2, the tooltip to grab the crown never appears despite having the "Show Crown Grab Prompt" option turned on.
- As of 7 March 2023, with the addition of The Vault show in Custom Show, Tip Toe Finale is one of the three vaulted rounds in Season 3 that are not available to be played at all. In this round's case, since that show is a Solo-based show and Tip Toe Finale is only supported in Squads, it is not available.
- As of the Fall Force Update, Tip Toe Finale is the last Final round to be unvaulted, meaning all Finals are now present in the game.
- As of the Fall Force Update, the Squads version is currently using a third variant which looks similar to the Duos version, except there is only one gap and Hover Platform, located in the middle of the tiles. This is most likely meant to be the Trios version.
