The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King is the 50th episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the 55th episode to air. Moat Crossing In this extraordinarily difficult moat crossing, one player holds a long wooden plank steady as the other crosses it. After one teammate is across, he or she holds the board for the other partner to do the same.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the bravest and most able leaders of his time was Simón Bolívar. In the early 1800s, Spain had colonies in South America, among them Venezuela, where Bolívar led a revolt against the King of Spain. His men swept through Venezuela like wildfire, but as they entered the capital Caracas, an enormous earthquake flattened the city. Bolívar would not be deterred: "Not even nature can stop the cause of liberty!" A half-crazed monk climbed up on a pile of rubble and began to shout: "This earthquake is a sign! It is punishment for treason against the king! Bolívar is responsible for this; take God's vengeance upon HIM!" Bolívar pushed the monk aside. They say he plucked a stone from the rubble, and on it was carved the crown of the King of Spain, which had cracked in half. "Here is a true sign: The power of the king is broken!" Bolívar freed the people from royal tyranny, and when he died, the Cracked Crown vanished.
Temple GamesThe Green Monkeys are Marshal and Wynter. The Orange Iguanas are Josh and Kerry. South American Liberation (Mountain)[] Simón Bolívar liberated most of South America from the tyranny of the Spanish King. Josh and Marshal only had to liberate four South American countries. Before them stood a mountain with many holes into which their pegs fit, and it was divided into four sections, each named after a South American country: Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. Each country can be liberated by either player placing his peg in the secret hole that sets off the victory salute. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to start putting their pegs into as many holes as possible. For each country liberated, they each had to move on to the next one. The player to liberate all four countries or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Marshal won the game by liberating his third country at the last minute while Josh only freed two. Thus Marshal won the half pendant of life for. Ride Like a Good General (Spinning Horses)[]A good general has to be able to ride a horse and not just pose on one. That was Kerry and Wynter's task in this game. Each player was mounted on a mechanical horse and had to hold on tight because when Kirk gave the signal, the horse began to spin. The player who stayed on the horse in 60 seconds or the player who stayed on the longest won. This was a very quick game thanks to Wynter falling off with 48 seconds of spare time. Kerry won the half pendant of life. Spanish Troops (Slingshot Bowling)[]Bolívar fought against the Spanish troops for many years before gaining independence and freedom. When Kirk gave the signal, one player had to load his/her team's slingshot and launch a ball at the Spanish troops on the wall. Then, it was his/her partner's turn. The team to knock over four Spanish soldiers or the team furthest along in 60 seconds won. The Orange Iguanas won the game after knocking down three soldiers while the Green Monkeys only knocked down two, sending the Orange Iguanas to Olmec's Temple with 1½ pendants.
Temple RunJosh went into the temple first, moving at a good pace. Deciding to head down into The Ledges, Josh was soon greeted by the first Temple Guard after opening up the lower crawl tube to The Pit of Despair. After giving up his pendant of life, Josh continues into The Pit of Despair, where he first tries to open the door to The Observatory. But the door (unsurprisingly) remained locked, so he then tried to enter Medusa's Lair, but that room also didn't open. With the only option left on the table, Josh ends up heading down into The Throne Room. But after making a full rotation on the throne, the second Temple Guard (who waited for the right moment) jump scared Josh, and captured him. Forcibly grabbing and taking him out of the temple with 2:12 left on the clock. Now it was Kerry's turn to try her luck. Unfortunately, she moved at a rather sluggish pace and didn't accelerate throughout her time within the temple. However, she knew exactly what to do in each room and didn't hesitate during her time within the temple. When Kerry entered The Ledges, she ended up going into the now blocked off entrance to The Cave of Sighs as it seemed that she didn't know where to go. But luckily, Kerry did correct her mistake and continued through the same path as Josh did earlier. Still moving casually through the temple, Kerry eventually makes her way into The Swamp where she was able to find the other half of her pendant hanging on the actuator on the door on the left. But before grabbing it, Kerry proceeds to open up the door The Dark Forest but unfortunately encounters a bit of a struggle while trying to climb the ropes within The Swamp. Eventually, Kerry makes her way into The Dark Forest and tries to find the key within the trees. Luckily, finding the other half pendant proved to be a good thing, because it turns out that a spirit of a temple guard was residing inside the left tree. After giving the spirit her pendant, Kerry was then able to find the key within the same tree. To which she then used it to ascend into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Once there, Kerry was able to assemble the monkey at a good pace, (though she had a bit of a tough time with the middle piece), but after completing the statue with 4 seconds remaining, Kerry accidently made a wrong turn into The Viper's Nest and spends the last few seconds in there by the time the clock hit to 0.
