Chi vuol essere milionario? Edizione Straordinaria (English translation: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Extraordinary edition) was a series of New Year's special episodes of the Italian game show Chi vuol essere milionario?. The show set the basic format for Millionaire Hot Seat around the world. Compared to the later format, however, it had a few differences: it had a Fastest Finger First round, which was scrapped for the later international format.
Each contestant had a time limit:
- 1st-5th questions - 15 seconds
- 6th-10th questions - 30 seconds
- 11th-15th questions - 45 seconds
