Midoriyama Studios
Don't know if anyone's found it before, but here's an aerial shot of the grounds where Takeshi was made:

Re: Midoriyama Studios
The castle was between those buildings and the hill (the Rice Bowl hill) on the left. But nearer the buildings.
That white square is where a building used to be (the one you can see in High Rollers).

Re: Midoriyama Studios
I worked out where some of the games were a few years ago.
I don't have Google Earth, but I think Google maps is just the same so you'd just see the same thing.
The Rice Bowl Hill is the one behind the weird blue oval shaped thing, whatever that is, so the top left corner of the studios as we're looking at it.
The hill at the top with lots of little bushes on now was the Uphill Garden/Avalanche hill. Then to the right of that you can see another little hill, whic way the bit they ran down to get into the Honeycomb Maze. In between those two hills on the ground was Skipping Stones.
The little extra bit that goes up next to the Honeycomb Hill was were Sumo was. Then in front of that was the Great/Slippery Wall. In front of that was Slip Way/Walk the Plank/ Leap Frog or Big Bird.
Along the far right (by the road) was Knock Knock, then a bit further down along that with they had Mushroom Trip.

Re: Midoriyama Studios
Yep, Wipe Out was in front of Uphill Garden.
The Roller Derby road is at the bottom. The road to the right of the picture goes over it, which is the bridge you see at the start of the Roller Derby.

Re: Midoriyama Studios
The street is just for the studios, so it's not public.
Yep, I know what you man about Tani and his bike. Actually I've never thought of that, I just assumed it was outside a house, but you're right!
You'll have to go and take part in SASUKE or Kunoichi as they're done in the same place
