Also see Tier Obby, or the largest list of tier obbies
Tiers represent the overall difficulty of completion for (almost) any obby game, but each tier may be applied to sections of a singular obby, specifically in difficulty chart obbies. The range is typically considered to be exponential between 0-20 in possible obbies, with 0 being effortless and 20 being near-impossible.
How obbies are tiered on the Obby Wiki
Tiers are displayed on an overall difficulty of completion basis, especially on obby pages, the main type of article on the Obby Wiki. If the last section of an obby is a tier 11, but the first a tier 1, tier 11 will always be displayed. If the last section of an obby is a tier 11, but all previous sections are all similar in tier, it may be appropriate that the overall tier is raised and overall effort be considered as a factor. This may lead to an obby having a higher total tier than any one part of it directly contains.
Dedicated Tier Obbies
A Tier Obby is an obby dedicated to one specific tier. They are great at testing your skill/tier level and how good you are at the overall tier or just obbies in general. Obbies dedicated to tiers may include more than one, however, this is uncommon, and most just focus on being as accurate as possible to one specific tier. However, largely, tiers are subjective and not all tier obbies of the same tier will be of equal difficulty to you.
Tier obbies are the most popular sub-genre of obbies by far, with over 356 tier obbies being documented on the Obby Wiki (the largest database of obbies). This is due to a variety of factors, but mostly comes down to the low minimum development time and length, as most tier obbies are much shorter than any other type of obby. At the bottom of each tier is a link to every Tier Obby on the Obby Wiki that matches that tier, along with how many are on the Obby Wiki.

Obby Wiki Tiers Standard
Tier 0
Tier 0 is a starting tier typically associated with unranked obbies. This tier can either indicate near-automatic progression or the fact that the obby is unranked or has no tier yet.
Tier 1
Tier 1 is most commonly associated with 'Easy' or 'Effortless' and related to obbies which have a very easy difficulty. Some tier 1 obbies have guard-rails and are designed for all types of players to win. In terms of tier obbies, it is usually just walking with little opportunities to even fail in the first place.

Tier 2
Most self-claiming easy obbies fall into this tier. This tier's difficulty falls somewhere between Tier 1 and Tier 3, where a new players might somewhat struggle, but should, overall, be able to easily complete the obby in the end. They are usually defined by simple jumps, large walkways, easy sight reading, and, among other things, are normally intended for the casual obby audience.

- Wrap-Arounds
- Larger jumps (3-6+ studs)
- Absent guardrails. Lots of opportunity to fail
- Slow spinning/moving mechanics
etc...
