Me:
-a half-pendant bonus for the Temple-bound team that has either just one pendant or a pendant-and-a-half, provided that they win two of the Temple Games outright.
-the tiebreaker would be best-of-3; an incorrect answer or running out of time would be an automatic point for the other team.

Aha! The one thing I'd change about the show--not canceling it.
Also, I wish there was another third-story room to vary up the temple designs a bit.

If the kids can't make it out of the temple in time, they should trap the kids in there. Forever. :twisted:

Oh, i just thought of something: I definitely would have temple layout changes in Season 3.

... there's Green Monkey bashing? I always thought the Green Monkeys were among the more popular teams and that the Purple Parrots were the most mocked team.
Yeah, so did I.

Definitely better prizes for the contestants. They were really skimping at times during the show's run. A $50 savings bond for losing in a tiebreaker after the Temple Games? Weak.
I second that. Even if one doesn't make it past the moat, Kooshlings are not acceptable.

Are you kidding!?!? Kooshlings were teh ultimate prize! Even better than tuna!
PS, today they got a Spive Girls album and video for not making it across the most today. Wouldn't that have been considered a good prize back then (for the girls)?

there would be 2 things that i would change. better prizes and a half-pendant award for winning the tiebreaker.
So, you never want a team to go into the temple with one pendant? I suppose that's possible, but I like having the three different outcomes as it is now.

And I agree re the parting gifts. The kooshlings savings bond, not so bad....the Quik and Ring Pops...bad.

The room in the upper left corner should have needed to have its objective completed before the elevator would be activated.

I agree. I consider that one of the big improvements in Season 3, having to read the passwords to enter the Quicksand Bog. They actually made the kids work, rather than just jump in an elevator.

But don't forget in The Smashed Printing Plate of Frederick Douglass, the frontrunner was able to open the door without completing the objective.

The Spice Girls broke in 1996. Legends stopped filming in 1994. Most of the prizes we say today are new advertisements inserted in the regular episodes, evident by the random announcer's voice.

That announcer SUCKED compared to Dee.
That would be Doc Holiday who announced the last season of Family Double Dare. He also did alot of the announcements for Nick Arcade as well that were inserted over the old ones.

The least Nick could have done was had Dee Bradley Baker redub the new prizes. He was still working for Nickelodeon (he was on The Journey of Allen Strange in 1997, only two years after Legends' cancellation). I'm sure he would gladly have dubbed in the new prizes.
I agree. Even though most of the consolation prizes were bad, he still tried to make them sound exciting, e.g., "For the lllllllllllooooooooooniest in video game action!".
