The Paintbrush of Leonardo da Vinci is the 21st episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the fifteenth episode to air. Moat CrossingOne player from each team sat on a floating ring. When Kirk said "go", that player pulled himself across the Moat as quickly as possible using an attached rope. Once across, he stepped off, grabbed the ring, and threw it back to his partner who proceeded to jump on and pull himself across. As soon as the second teammate stepped onto the deck, it was his job to run over and hit the gong.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the greatest artists of all time was the master, painter, inventor, and sculptor, Leonardo da Vinci. When he was in school, he painted an angel so beautifully that his teacher gave up painting and became a sculptor instead. Leonardo also painted the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. He was also a brilliant inventor. He kept a pad on his belt, and jotted down his ideas backwards, so they could only be read in a mirror. He drew more plans for gadgets than anyone else in recorded history from the alarm clock to the helicopter. Leonardo was also tough on his students. If he thought one of their paintings was bad, he painted a big red "X" on it. When he died, a student kept one of his red-stained paintbrushes as a souvenir, and it ended up here in the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Blue Barracudas are twelve-year-old Ansie and thirteen-year-old Chris. The Orange Iguanas are twelve-year-old Katie and eleven-year-old Roberto. Painter's Palette (Bucket Ramp)[]Every great painter knows that with the three primary colors (Red, Yellow, and Blue), you can mix any other color. Regardless of being great painters or not, the players get a chance to mix it up a bit. When Kirk gave the signal, Chris and Roberto had to climb up the ramp on their knees, pull down the first bucket, and slide back down the palette to give the paint a good blending. Then they will climb back up, dump the next paint sample, and mix his way down again. The first team to mix all three colors and slide back down or the player that was furthest along in 60 seconds won. Both boys were only able to pull one bucket of paint each. The paint made it difficult climb back up and pull the remaining buckets, resulting in both Chris and Roberto getting the half pendant.Red "X"s on Rejected Paintings (Bungee Soap Mat)[]Leonardo da Vinci was a very demanding teacher. If he disapproved of his students' paintings, he would paint a large red "X" over it. When Kirk gave the signal, Katie and Ansie each had to grab a red line from the center bin, crawl out to a painting, and place the line over it. Then they will go back to the center, grab the next red line, and place it on the painting to complete the "X". They each had to work on two paintings, and the first player to place the red "X" on both paintings or the player that was furthest along in 60 seconds won. Katie placed both "X"s on both of her paintings with 27 seconds to spare. Helicopter (Pulley Pillar)[]430 years ago, Leonardo drew a design for a helicopter, but it was never built until the 20th century. Before each team is a base of a helicopter, and when Kirk gave the signal, each team had to grab a helicopter blade, jump up, and place it on the copter and jump back down again. That will allow his partner to jump up and attach it. They will alternate for 60 seconds. The first team to complete their helicopter or the team that was furthest along when time was up won. The Orange Iguanas won the game after placing three pieces while the Blue Barracudas failed to score, sending them to Olmec's Temple with two full pendants.
Temple RunKatie went into the temple first. Deciding to take the direct path to get to the paintbrush, she went into The Cave of Sighs first. Crawling through the caverns, Katie uses the upper crawl tube to head into The Wheel Room, where she slowly lifts the stone slab to gain access into The Room of Harmonic Convergence. After trying her fourth combination, Katie was now able to access The Swamp, where she slowly but surely sticked her feet into the swamp. But just as she jumped in, a temple guard popped out of the murky swamp and captured Katie. After trading in her pendant of life, she tried to open up both of the doors that lead to The Tomb of the Ancient Kings. Unsurprisingly, both doors remained locked, thus forcing her to find another path. After Kirk mentioned that she can go up, Katie decides to climb the ropes to see if she could access The Treasure Room, but to no avail either. With no other choice, Katie heads back into The Room of Harmonic Convergence with 1:12 left on the clock and proceeds to climb up into The Heart Room. After a bit of a struggle climbing up the ladder, she makes it into the room and tries to find another route. Katie first tried the door leading to The Treasure Room, but it didn't open. And when she tried the inactive door leading to The Wheel Room, it also didn't open. Because of this, Katie heads up another level and into The Observatory. But before she could do anything, the second temple guard jumps out and captures her, taking Katie out of the temple with 32 seconds left on the clock. Roberto went into the temple next. Luckily, Roberto made a smart move and decided to head into The Room of the Three Gargoyles so he could access The Observatory quicker. But when it came to pushing on the tongues, Roberto did not push on all of them, and instead detouring downward into The Cave of Sighs, before heading into The Wheel Room. Needless to say, Roberto couldn't do much with what time he had left, and time ran out as soon as he got on the wheel. (Even dropping his pendant after jumping off the ladder).
