Just a proposed idea for this.
Well Sasuke Vietnam is doing it in season 3, in stage two. Even Ninja Warrior Italia is doing it also.
Of course this would make it too easy for some competitors, especially women. But then if this holds true, there's a possibility the final stage course(s) will have to be longer and harder.

It's a really bad idea. I love to watch challengers race against the clock in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and that's why I don't like this idea.
For your information, SASUKE Vietnam Season 3 Stage 2 is extremely boring, so I don't think ANW will do something similar in the future.

I think you're missing the point. ANW is supposed to bring tension with a time limit. It's also supposed to give a challenge for competitors on completing the course quickly, just like ninjas. Taking away this aspect would result in the dullest two hour episode that anyone would see.

If anything, ANW should be making courses that can have lower time limits instead of 3-4 minute sprints.

Even Ninja Warrior France season 2 is doing it also. France's Ninja Warrior had a time limit on Stage 1 and Stage 2 both season. The four series with no Stage 1 time limit are Sweden's first season, Denmark, Vietnam's second season, and Netherlands. The two with no Stage 2 time limit are Netherlands and Vietnam's third season. The main reason Vietnam removed the time limit on Stage 2 this season is probably to increase the number of clears. The number of people in Stage 2 this year is less than the number of Stage 2 clears last year. ANW has a higher average Stage 1 clear rate than all of the 4-Stage shows. If anything they should lessen the time limit. |

Actually, Vietnam's first two seasons don't have Stage 1 time limit, but only the top 20 in Season 1 and top 50 in Season 2 fastest finishers will move on to the Stage 2, so challengers have to go fast. |

Season 1 Stage 1A and 1B had a 21 competitor limit which consisted of all the women who finished (only 1 did on 1B) and the fastest men to round out the 21. This would have translated to a 83s time limit on 1A and 57s time limit on 1B. Season 2 had no time limit with 35 finishing 1A and 51 finishing 1B. |

Actually I made a correction in the first post. I thought it was France with no time limit counting down, it's actually Ninja Warrior Italia. However the competitor has a limit of five minutes to complete the course in both stage 1 and 2. That does not include the other half of stage 2 however, since that part is similar to Ninja Warrior UK and all the other European spin-offs.

Taking the time-limits away would basically be the final nail in the Sasuke-based coffin. It would also mean no speed-stages and make everything one long Stage 3. Imagine competitors having having one minute to complete something like the Sonic Curve. Or have unlimited time to wait before simple Stage Two obstacles. It's nice that each sage has it's own unique theme, it wouldn't be like that without the timers. You should never have over three minutes to complete either of the first two stages, either  |

What alot of NW spin-offs forget is that the course is supposed to be hard because of the time limit. The course itself shouldn't be too hard but the time limit is what makes Sasuke special. Also, viewers love contestants racing against the clock. In the end, it's about making a good show and the time limit helps do that. |

It's annoying enough that the qualifiers and First Stage of ANW have essentially become watered down Third Stages with the amount of momentum-slowing upper-body obstacles. Taking away the time limit completely would make it feel mind-numbingly redundant.
