Kirk stands in front of the Temple's stairs with his hands on William and Jessica's shoulders. "Welcome back," he says to the camera before turning to talk to the winning team. "You two have proven yourselves worthy and earned the right to enter Olmec?s Temple. But first, here?s some information to help you retrieve the Secret Journal of Nicholas MacAvelli."
Olmec begins to give the rundown:
?You could start by climbing through the Crevasse and climbing down into the Mine Shaft. Throw enough rocks into the bucket to lift the slab, then race into the Crystal Cave. Pull down on the correct icicle, and you could choose to go up into the Dragon?s Lair, or into the Junction of the Secret Shafts. If you escape, you might have a chance to enter the Switch Inferno. Hit the right actuator to go upstairs, or plow through the wall and into the Dungeon.
?There, climb up the Pharaoh?s Secret Passage into the Dark Overlook, where you can grab the Secret Journal of Niccol? Machiavelli. Correctly place all three torches to open the door to the SHRIIIIIIIIiiine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the statue there and you may be headed for the Knights? Barracks. Place the sword in the correct sheath, but be careful? one of the suits of armor could be possessed by the spirit of a Temple Guard! If they grab you, you'll have to give up a Pendant of Life! Next, race up to the Laser Light Room, find the right combination to unleash the power of the laser, and run across the Bridge. Then, pass through the Room of the Temple Gongs, race down the stairs and back through the Temple Gate. The choices are yours and yours alone.? Olmec pauses momentarily. "You won 1 ? Pendants in the Temple Games. Who's going first??
"Me," William says in response.
"Very well William," replies Olmec as Kirk hands out the Pendants of Life. "When Kirk gives the signal, you'll race through the gates into the Temple and make your way towards the Journal. Hidden inside the Temple are three shafts which let out into the Junction of the Secret Shafts, as well as Temple Guards assigned to protect three specific rooms. You can trade your Pendant for an extra life and go on, but if you're caught without a Pendant, you'll be taken out of the Temple? and then it'll be Jessica's turn to enter and try her luck. Hidden somewhere in the Temple is the other half of your Pendant. If you can find it and you're carrying the other half, you will get an extra life. If you can reach the Secret Journal of Niccol? Machiavelli, all the doors of the Temple will instantly unlock, and the Temple Guards will vanish. Return through the gates with the Secret Journal in three minutes, and you will both be handsomely rewarded? and here's how:"
? For just making it into the Temple, they?re both going to get a Schwinn Mesa mountain bike.
? If they can grab the Journal within three minutes, they?ll also get $500 Toys ?R? Us gift cards.
? And if they can get the Secret Journal out of the Temple before 3 minutes is up, they?ll both be going to Krystal Cancun! Krystal Cancun, the resort for beach lovers, with excursions to Mayan ruins. It?s rich in history and rich in pleasure. Krystal Cancun, for a prize package worth $13,700!
"Sounds great, let's see if they can win it all!" Kirk says, excited. "So, Jessica, maybe you could tell us your strategy."
"Well," Jessica explains, "we?re just gonna go straight across the top, across that bridge, through there, get the thing and come back."
"We?re about to see if that?s gonna work out," Kirk says. "So, William, let?s get you out in front. Put your mouthpieces in. Let's set the clock for three minutes." The clock appears onscreen. "Olmec, lower your gate."
Olmec moans as he lowers the gate, and the blue lights on him are turned off.
"On your mark, get set, GO!"
?There he goes! Up into the Temple!? a voice-over shouts as William passes through the Temple Gate and races up into the Room of Temple Gongs. As soon as William enters the room, out jumps the first TEMPLE GUARD! ?Whoa! Temple Guard!? The voice-over says. ?He?s got a Pendant, give ?em the Pendant!? William hands over his Pendant of Life, then goes to the front of the room to bang down on the gongs. He starts with the rightmost gong and moves stage-left, lighting up all six gongs. (2:51) Blue, purple, green, orange, white and red? all the colors light up, then he runs over to the door leading into the Bridge and tries to pry it open.
?That door?s not gonna open,? the voice-over says as William tries to force the door open, ?he?ll have to go down, I guess!? A second later, William runs for the ladder leading downward and descends into the Crevasse. (2:32) Quickly, he crawls through, hits the actuator for the upper crawl tube, points at the actuator, and then enters the Mine Shaft.
?Oh, he?s signaling back to Jessica there,? the voice-over realizes as William begins throwing rocks one at a time into the bucket in the Mine Shaft. Once the fifth rock is in the bucket, the slab covering the door into the Crystal Cave rises all the way. William hits the actuator opening the door, and slides belly-down into the next room. However, in the corner of the room lurks the second TEMPLE GUARD!
?There goes Jessie!? the voice-over announces as Jessica races up the stairs with 2:06 remaining and a half Pendant around her wrist. She starts by running up into the Room of Temple Gongs, then climbs down into the Crevasse, picking up a half Pendant on the actuator for the upper crawl tube (made visible by a unique camera angle) and enters the Mine Shaft.
?Oh, she got the other half Pendant!? Kirk announces, the commentary voice switching from voice-over to live. ?She?s got the other life!? Jessica enters the Crystal Cave with 1:45 remaining and begins to detach the stalactites from the ceiling. She pulls down all three stalactites, and then, only the door leading up into the Dragon?s Lair opens. She climbs up the ladder, grabs two of the dragon horns in the front of the room and places them in the dragon head which hangs around the door leading upward. Jessica then goes to grab and correctly place the other two horns in the dragon head. Then, a dragon roar is heard, the pattern on the walls lights up and the door leading up flies open. Jessica climbs up into the Laser Light Room and meets the last TEMPLE GUARD!
?Woah! Another Temple Guard!? Kirk shouts as Jessica shrieks at the sight of the last Temple Guard. ?Good thing?s she?s got a full Pendant.? Jessica hands the Guard both halves of her Pendant of Life, then proceeds down the stairwell leading to the Knights? Barracks only to encounter a raised slab door. (0:57) ?Wait!? Kirk shouts. ?She?s gotta? um?? Jessica tries to kick the door down, but after a few seconds, she turns back, realizing that she has to align the sections of the metal column in the front of the room. She does just that, and, with 38 seconds remaining, the dome on top of the column emits a laser beam and the door into the Knights? Barracks opens.
?Now she?s got it!? Kirk comments. ?Thirty seconds, and she?s into the Room of the Ancient Warriors!? Jessica races into the Knights? Barracks, grabbing the sword and placing it in each sheath, starting with the rightmost sheath and moving stage-left. Only when she tries the leftmost sheath does the door open. (0:21) Jessica continues into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and there she grabs the pieces of the statue one at a time. She has a little trouble fitting the base in and placing the middle in the correct position, but she does end up positioning them properly. Jessica then goes back to grab the head and jams it down? but we?re out of time!
?Oh!? Kirk shouts disappointedly as Jessica jams the head all the way down and opens the door into the Dark Overlook. ?They were just one room away from the object! They were so close! But they still get the mountain bikes just for making it this far. And we gotta get outta here. See you again next time for more adventure and another great Legend of the Hidden Temple! Buh-bye!? Kirk and William wave to the camera, which zooms out. Jessica reappears next to them a little later, and the camera shows different views of the Dungeon and the Dragon?s Lair as the credits roll.
