The Temple Run Hall of Fame (Legends of the Hidden Temple)

This video lists the top 5 temple runs from the classic 90s Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Temple Run. These are the fastest runs, the most dramatic and even at times the funniest runs ever seen from the many teams on Legends (Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Green Monkeys, Purple Parrots, and Silver Snakes.)

Much like my Tales From the Aggro Crag video, this video provides breakdowns and commentary for various temple runs.

What's your favorite Legends team?

"It's smooth sailing for Tara until a grown man in a costume pops out and probably traumatizes this child for the rest of her life." Dude, I was traumatized by those temple guards as a kid and I never even went on the show.

Regarding the Silver Monkey, I understand people's bewilderment that a 3-piece statue ruins chances for success, but I do not believe it is as black and white as fans think it is. I remember reading an article where Kirk was asked about it and he made good points.
Let's put ourselves in the contestant's shoes: They have THREE minutes and can't see the time. Guards can pop out at any given time, and this adds heavy suspense. On top of that, the contestants are likely quite anxious. Also, they have cameras and whole world watching. Anyone who fears public speaking knows the feeling. Also, the location of the room plays a part. The room is near the back of the temple. By that point, contestants are starting to tire from all of the physical and mental activity.
By themselves, these individual components seem negligible, but put together, they can create a lot of mental stress which can cloud judgment and figuratively turn a three piece puzzle into a Rubik's cube. It doesn't always cripple a team, but we must remember some are better at managing stress than others.

When the world needed him most....he returned

I would have added the Applewood Amulet, mostly because of Olivia-Emma. She basically went through 2/3 of the run by herself, assembled the Silver Monkey with ABSOLUTE EASE (possibly the easiest assemblage in the shows history), and finished the run all the way to the gate at the VERY LAST SECOND!

I think a Temple Run you should’ve had on here was The Heart-Shaped Pillow of Annie Taylor Run. It was the first time someone successfully retrieved the Artifact from the center of the temple and it was a solo run with Blue Barracuda Missy kicking ass in the temple.

[frankjuggaloheathen]

The Levitating Dog Leash of Nostradamus should have at least gotten an honorable mention. Truly an epic temple run there; not only do they show exemplary teamwork, but the one kid who finds the artifact also uses it as an escape tool! That's one run I know I'll never forget.

God bless these young people who competed in Legends Of The Hidden Temple.

It's crazy knowing all these kids are 40+ now

[matthewk]

Watched two of your videos today! Loved both of them. Thanks for the content!

[snailgod]

Truly one of the most underrated channels on YouTube 🤙

As a 34-year-old man, to this day, I argue that silver monkey shit looks complicated--yes, there is a clear head and bottom, but the middle looks like a random molten metal formation, and on top of that, you're not even old enough drive, and now you gotta worry about being taken away by tribal cannibals... filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Cut em some slack...

The Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland is my all time favorite temple run

[paulsimorella]

How did you leave the Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuugpak off this list? Gator was probably the best runner in the shows history, made it from the temple gates to the dark forest in 15 seconds and put the monkey together with no problems, despite meeting a temple guard in there. Also that run was the 3rd of 3 runs where a team encounters all 3 guards and wins

I've enjoyed your legends of the hidden temple videos. I think you should rank all the temple rooms from your least to most favorite.

Kids had to run, climb, and pass a written test to be chosen.

Sometimes the moat took so long that the show had to edit to not show all of it.

Multiple episodes were filmed in a day with all the moats, then all the steps of knowledge, then all the temple games, then all the temple runs. Kids who reached the temple were there all day with long breaks between rounds. Teams were read the legend backstage, and on camera it was their second time hearing it.

Here are some statistics:

The show made it hard and wanted 24 successes, which would have been 20 percent. They got 32 successes, which was 26.67 percent.

Teams with 1 pendant were guaranteed to be taken out of the temple if the layout required meeting all three temple guards, but the 15 teams with 1 pendant had 6 successes, which was a higher than average rate. Teams with 1 pendant got taken out 13.33 percent of the time, and teams with 1.5 pendants got taken out 23.08 percent of the time.

24 shows (20 percent) needed tiebreakers. 15 were tied at 1 pendant, and 9 were tied at 1.5 pendants, meaning that the third temple game was tied. There were episodes with two tied temple games, but never with three. The show was made so at least one temple game would not be tied.

The most common pendant score was 1.5 to 0.5, which happened 33 times.

The winning team was first in the Moat and Steps of Knowledge 20 times, first in one of them 56 times, and first in neither of them 44 times.

There was one episode that ended by being taken out of the temple in the room above the ledges. It was rare because normally the two kids started the same way. The show would have expected that if that temple guard was encountered, it would have been by the first person.

Great list. The Milk Bucket of Freydis was an amazing run for Purple Parrots fans. A few of these even made it on my own podcast’s Top 20 memorable run list, including your number 1, 2, and 3.

I’m loving these Nickelodeon videos man. Would love to see more!

[Runescape.]

I want to ask Tarrah questions about did she ever become a cop, how old is she now, and other such things. I'd like to see if any of these people are still alive after the COVID 19 pandemic, man its been a crazy ride hasn't it? I grew up watching this show in the 90s and now I'll be 35 here pretty soon. I'm guessing she is also in her 30s or 40s. Man we grew up fast didn't we.

[cinemaholic]

I'd put Gator from Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuugpak in a top 5. 1 because of how fast Gator was and 2 because they got the artifact from the center of the temple which I think was only done successfully 2 times.
