Legends of the Hidden Temple - Temple Run Music

I'm going to be taking a break from The Hardcore Kid for a bit to focus on college. Until then, here's a present for you guys who have continued to watch my videos (and put up with me lol) It's the Temple Theme music from my favorite game show Legends of the Hidden Temple from 90s Nickelodeon. This was used during the Legends scene in my Magic Voyage review and I'd like to thank my friend Morgan Leger for supplying it since he's good at finding footage from stuff around the internet. Peace out guys!

[@silveryote1]

Fellow 90s kids: Put this as your alarm. You'll ALWAYS be on time.

[@RhydderchZX]

Unless a temple guard stands in your way

[@Nikolectron]

@@RhydderchZX Then you better remember to pack your pendants

[@WildTonyAppears]

Nah I can just see me desperately putting the keys in the ignition backwards like the head of the Silver Monkey

[@minembo]

I always thought it was such a dick move that there would be a temple guard as soon as you walk in the temple...

[@JosephStardust]

Season One in a nutshell

[@ThunderFist1978]

I thou the it more so that certain doors wouldn't open every time.

[@canaisyoung3601]

That show was really unfair to kids in that regard. The music is awesome though.

[@bigdog41407]

Seems like a dick move at first glance, but it is actually advantageous to the contestants if the first one is taken out quickly.

[@aaronaguilar9172]

it actuallly makes it easier for the second player since he/she will have more time

[@retroflashbackdude]

THE HEAD IS BACKWARDS!!!!!

boss battle music

[@AzureRaven]

generic megaman boss theme XD

[@BlindLibrary]

If not for an act boss, definitely a final zone/finale boss! This so epicly fits!

[@chopz5881]

Omek was the final boss of this lol

[@hopeoconnor1626]

[@alster724]

He's into the King's Store Room, smash the pots... Oh! Temple Guard, no problem. He's got a pendant

[@ponchogutz]

After all this years, this music is still giving me chills.

[@bradhedgehog12]

[@AltimeterAlligator]

Those little imperfections make this recording special. I imagine the studio had time for like two takes, and said, "Good enough. Next song!" They were right, it sounded great on the air!

[@ActivistVictor]

If I ever win the lottery, I want to try my best to bring this show back.

[@LARDLOGO]

At least make it somewhat easier, that's all I ask. While you're at it, bring back Supermarket Sweep too!

[@Computist40]

+LARDLOGO: Supermarket Sweep Yassssssss!

[@fandude41]

Sorry to Piggyback, but Fremantle is bringing Back "Sweep" at some point.

[@Bobbythundervideogamemaster900]

i will be Storming through omic"s Temple

[@ryankoopacanada]

I would love that. This was really the only game show I loved watching tbh

[@lauryng938]

This song always reminded me of the kids trying to put the monkey together. The struggle of the monkey was REAL !

[@AldusValor]

God, it always hurt watching them screw it up so entirely.

[@DarthJoshReturns]

That's what she said.

[@BlindLibrary]

Or what about the Pit of Despair? Just hope and pray you don't walk into the room of a dreaded temple guard...

[@TheByrd8992]

Right they sometimes when they grabbed the monkey feet then the head so funny

[@SirTunnelSnake]

@@BlindLibrary The Forbidden Forest was a bullshit room. There was always a guard in that room no matter what

[@SuperGamer87]

I need this theme music for the next time I go shopping with one of the women in my family. "Hurry! You're almost out of time! Forget the sweater! She's heading for the shoes department! You've got a minute left! Go, go, go!"

[@pirajacinto4]

Gotta love how the song gets higher and higher pitch, more intense until the end while maintaining a steady tone out so it's not really stressful for the players. Just enough of a change per minute so that the contestants know what's up.

[@KIGforLIFE]

I was addicted to this show when I was a kid.

[@BlindLibrary]

The music for this show had me hooked. Better hope I don't make modern MIDI incarnations if it?

[@13yearolddrummaboy]

Me too and actually I was on it for 3 episodes crazy huh

[@saxxy318]

That bass is better than I remember it.

[@BlindLibrary]

I wish I knew what Yamaha keyboard that was! It's driving me nuts! I had a PSR-510, but it didn't sound anything like these instruments.

[@NerdyHippy]

There needs to be a reboot of that show.

[@Dave-yl8rf]

+NerdyHippy Kids are not fit, cultured or smart anymore these days, its a no-no

[@OfficialBulldozerStudios]

+Kras They'll more then like have to fulfill some requirements in order to get on the show. 1. Be strong ( at least strong enough to do 20 or more push-ups without stopping ). 2. Be fast ( able to run up to AT LEAST 10 MPH ). 3. Be smart ( able to do a simple history quiz consisting of at least 20 questions, without missing more then one question ). 4. Stamina. As you said, nowadays, finding all 4 of these properties in a child is rare. So yes, Legends wouldn't be fit for today. I'd rather they not try it and wind up DESTROYING our childhood memories.

[@bullrose5]

I'm not fast, but this theme would make me go fast, because this really pumps me up, this song, that is. I'd go like a bat out of hell, just for this song, maybe even run through a brick wall! :). And plus, I'm smart, had a 3.5 GPA in college! Loved this show when I was 12, made me do really well in history, lowest grade I got was an A-!

[@jimeratliff]

NerdyHippy it's gonna be hard to do that since nickelodeon doesn't own the show anymore

[@MrLuismegaX]

There will be a new episode of that in The loud house

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

Running through an ancient Mayan temple in search of ancient treasure solving puzzles and getting scared to death by temple guards with this dramatic music blaring in the background made for the ultimate adrenaline rush! I freakin' loved this show, and I still consider the Temple Run to be the coolest final round in any game show ever conceived! And might I add, Silver Snakes forever!

[@KUNYSZZ]

Silver snacks for life

[@BlindLibrary]

And I think they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna; yes! With no time left on the clock!

I would have passed out if I I ran into one of those gaurds and to this music

[@evanj3535]

I don't know of any other competition for the winning person or team that required the combination of moving and thinking that the Temple Run did.

[@ShyGuy83]

Good old synthesizers and drum machines. Where would be without you two?

[@daytimesky]

I used to think this song playing in the background was actual NES music, but instead, it's done with actual synthesizers or something. It sounds fantastic, and fits excellently with the NES style, composition-wise and in the style of its instruments. I love it.

[@shelbyherring92]

I remember thinking it kinda sounded like earlier Castlevania music

[@daytimesky]

I can kinda see that, actually!

[@davidwilkins2955]

Fun fact: Dee Bradley Baker had his first role on this show as the voice of Olmec!

[@GameShowMike]

He would later become the announcer on Shop 'Til You Drop where he played all sorts of crazy characters, including Grandma Curmudgeon.

[@ritselabuan6513]

He also do Animals sounds

[@bartlovers1]

[@Angie2343]

[@SuperUnknownPerson]

This theme is amazing! Nostalgic! Also mysterious ! It feel like you going through some creepy tomb or temple!

[@BlueShoeMagoo]

Seriously, this gets me through cardio on the treadmill.

[@sergiohyuga23]

Wow man it's amazing to listen this song when I always listened on the run, I felt like in the run Lol. Thank to god I born 1995 but I watched in the 2000's the tv show in Mexico; my dream was to participate in legends but I didn't know they done in 1996 or 1997. Nickelodeon in Mexico played legends from 2000 through 2003, 2 years later Mexico got the channel Nick Gas (2005) and I started to watch it again until 2009 when it stopped suddenly Nick Gas. Sincerely I lived an amazing childhood.

[@13yearolddrummaboy]

Agreed! Totally

[@ponchogutz]

Same here, I watched this show in Mexico and I always wanted to participate in it but it ended too soon.

[@mikeburnette2190]

Great video. I can only imagine what the kids must have been going through, with this music going, while running through the temple. The music is giving that vibe of run for my life, and don't stop, and the kids are literally having to move and think much faster than normal, putting even more pressure on them to complete the run. For me, the Blue Barracudas run in the Heart-shaped pillow will always hold a special place in my heart, because Missy did the run solo, but she had one pendant, so they really had more pressure on them, with a higher percentage rate of the run failing, but they pulled it off. The music really puts pressure on you, when you hear it, because your feeling what all of those kids were feeling...move, think, and don't stop, until its over.

[@KRAZYKRACKERKILLER1]

Top 3 classic Nick game show I loved how the six teams of two competed to retrieve one of the historical artifacts in the Temple by performing physical stunts & answering questions based on history mythology, geography. After three elimination rounds only one team remains, who then earns the right to go through the Temple to retrieve the artifact within three minutes and win a grand prize.The Temple Guards, always scared the crap out of me as a kid. I alwayz thought I could do so much better than the kids on the show, but I never got my chance.

[@ImpelDragon]

Was doing a complete Barrows run in RuneScape just awhile ago with KZbin in the background. Just as I completed the run, this song came on. Instead of teleporting out of a crumbling crypt, I felt obligated to run out. It was the best Barrows run I ever had.

[@StormerSage]

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE SHRINE OF THE SILVER MONKEY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[@WilandTarafan]

Listening to this reminds me how nerve racking it was to watch the temple runs as a kid. I’m pretty sure I screamed at those players through every room they went into in that temple

[@mikeburnette2190]

Thanks for uploading. This music is freaking epic, and no matter win or lose, you knew things were about to go down.

[@SuperSmitty1991]

Immediately when I hear this, I got the biggest smile on my face!!! I'm so glad I was born in the 90s!! best years!!

[@DCONightingale]

This would make such a sick boss battle theme or a final race in a racing game theme.

[@gamerzero7735]

Assembling the Silver Monkey should've been no big deal, but most people had a hard time doing just that. It also sucked that ninja-kicking a temple guard was against the rules.

[@oldchannelforayoungstupidf2649]

Well it is just a game show, so the temple guards are not actually dangerous.

[@kdawg7736]

I always wanted to kick one in the balls and run away if one came at me.

I really love this show. Infact I actually love the episodes of when the teams make it out of the temple with the treasures.

[@marquisbreaston519]

The Temple Run in the movie is start when the pendant of life are back together. Here's how the Temple Run goes in the movie: Starts in the Treasure Room. Pass the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Pass Medusa's Lair. Pass the Dark Forest. Across the Moat. Pass the Room of the Ancient Warriors. Pass the Quicksand Bog. Across the Pit of Despair. Ends at the Steps of Knowledge. To give the pendant to Olmec.

I noticed that the heart room had a temple guard nearly every time.. Did anyone else find themselves screaming at the TV to tell the slow players to hurry up? Man I miss this show!

[@LittleMissRequiem]

For a good laugh, play this music while watching the final running scene from *The Mummy (1999)* when everyone is running to escape from Hamunaptra as it collapses all around them. Or heck, just about any similar scene from any movie will work too. :)

[@ReveiwKing999]

If the Nostalgia Critic ever reviews the Mummy, I'd like to see him use that gag.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

ReveiwKing999 Ditto. ;D

[@LittleMissRequiem]

Reza Lustig I haven't seen the 3rd movie personally so I wouldn't know, and while I'm tempted to buy or rent it just to see what all the bad hype is about, I don't think I will if it's really as bad as a lot of people say.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

***** If you start this song just as Hamunaptra is starting to collapse (about a couple of seconds before Rick says "Time to go!"), and if you let it continue playing during Beni's final scene in the treasure room, the song should end just as Rick, Evy, and Jonathan are watching the destruction from a safe distance (just before Ardeth Bay's last appearance in the movie). I haven't calculated the length of the whole scene yet, but that should give you some idea of how long it is.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

Reza Lustig It's alright. The Mummy 3 has gotten a lot of flak, though, so I imagine something about it must be pretty bad for it to get so much negative hype. Personally I've only seen the first two movies and the first Scorpion King. The first movie was good, especially for its time; the second was not as good as the first, but was still entertaining in its own right; and the first Scorpion King was pretty good from what I can remember, although it's been a while since I last saw it.

[@rainfeather2997]

This show... I wanted to be on it or Double Dare so badly that I kept bugging my parents about vacationing in Florida so I could try out for all the Nick game shows. I never used to watch the Temple Run if one team had less than both pendants- but with the whole background stuff about purposefully making the Temple Run too hard to conserve prize budget...
