* "Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress" deserves a special mention. Not only was this the first episode, but the temple run was a real nail-biter. But the Green Monkeys get the Headdress with only ''27 seconds'' left on the clock and get out with one second remaining.

** Their first victory at "Snakeskin Boots of Billy the Kid]]" can only be described as 'Purple Parrot Pwnage'. They were the first to cross the moat, the first to pass the steps of knowledge, got ''both'' medals in the temple games and scored the artifact in record time. It also had an epic moment in the Jester's Court; the boy faces forward and ''bashes his head on one of the buttons'' instead of facing it like any normal person would do.

** The best part of all of these victories? ''All of them had less then ten seconds to go''.
* In the same vein as Tarrah of the Purple Parrots, we have Missy of the Blue Barracudas in "The Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor]]" solo-running through the Temple with only a pendant on her. She had to use the pendant but successfully dodged the other guards to retrieve the pillow. Missy was also the first person to retrieve an artifact from that room in that temple and one of two ever.

* The Lost Hornpipe of the Pirate Captain. Both contestants were really competent and won despite having to climb the central shaft. Upon closer analysis, one can see the column on the pits side of the King's storeroom was done as Jessica was climbing it. This meant that it was supposed to open and they won despite an production error.

* In The Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland]]", "The Moccasins of Geronimo", and "The Ruby Earring of bin-Zabib", the teams make it through in under ''two'' minutes. Based on how much time was left when the treasure was reached in "The Enormous Iron Nose Ring of Babe", however, a more efficient route could've given them a time that could rival the infamous "Mask of Shaka Zulu" production error episode.

* Many fans will tell you that the TV movie is this. With tons of {{Mythology Gag}}s to the original show, and even going so far as having Kirk Fogg and Dee Bradley Baker reprise their iconic roles. And yes, [[AscendedMeme jokes were made about the Shrine of the Silver Monkey]]. [[spoiler:Twice]].

* In "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zd_Gya_6W8 The Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzb-V_VMI04 The Moccasins of Geronimo]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7kea9mN1LE The Ruby Earring of bin-Zabib]]", the teams make it through in under ''two'' minutes.

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwyFeEaU_aA The Levitating Dog Leash of Nostradamus]]". The girl going first signals her partner where the spare half-pendant was going to be and the boy ''uses the dog leash'' as a lasso to grab the rope and swing his way onto the other side. More importantly, the team had a whole and half-pendant; the girl could've taken the pendant but she gave it up so her partner could retrieve it.

** In "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJP33n2T9KY Milk Bucket of Freydis]]" our runner is a Purple Parrot [[BadassAdorable little girl named Tarrah]] who ''solos'' the entire Temple Run with ''one second to spare''. One cool moment of hers is instead of tipping the vases or raising them over her head in the King's Storeroom, she ''punches and slams them between her hands''. She wants to be a cop, indeed.
** The third and final victory for the Parrots was "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPZavew94u8 The Metal Beard of the Egyptian Queen]]". The first runner, TJ, zipped through at least ''half'' of the path until reaching the Dark Forest. His partner, Randy (a girl), follows it up with style, pushing a panel to get to the room of the Secret Password, grab the item and ''traverse through the other remaining rooms'' with five seconds to spare.

* In the same vein as Tarrah of the Purple Parrots, we have Missy of the Blue Barracudas in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDpILei1OK8 The Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor]]" solo-running through the Temple with only a pendant on her. She had to use the pendant but successfully dodged the other guards to retrieve the pillow. Missy was also the first person to retrieve an artifact from that room in that temple and one of two ever.

But the Green Monkeys get the Headdress with only ''27 seconds'' left on the clock and get out with one second remaining.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZF5kpvzi0 The Belly Button of Buddha]] may be boring but the Blue Barracudas dominated that episode. They were first in the moat and the steps of knowledge. They won two pendants in the temple games. In the temple, Jennifer was able to do the run herself. This is also one of two solo runs that was done with two whole pendants.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa9XT5Ti5_A The Secret Map of the Bandit Queen]] is considered by many fans to be one of the best temple runs in the series. Front runner Miriam gets taken out by the temple guard after hesitating for 27 seconds to go into the Dark Forest because of her fear of getting caught in the room. There is only 1:17 left on the clock when her partner Zac goes in and blazes though the bottom in less than 30 seconds. He has to climb up The Pharaoh's Secret Passage because the door from the Bog to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey [[note]] Where the map was located. [[/note]] wouldn't open. According to an interview he did [[http://www.angelfire.com/hiphop/thesilvermonkey/turney.htm here]] the slide was slick making it hard to go up. When he gets the map, he gets out of the temple in 18 seconds. He also has the record for the fastest single player run through the temple with a time of 1:08.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRRZouCMav4 The Lucky Medallion of Atocha]]. At first, it looks like this run would be the trope's [[EpicFail exact opposite]], as Ty drops the team's one and only Pendant on his way into the Temple. However, his partner Jennifer grabs the dropped Pendant and ''tosses it to him through the Ledges, just in time for Ty to be caught by a Temple Guard''. Ty then proceeds to solo the rest of the run and makes it out with mere seconds to spare. It's an extremely rare instance where ''both'' players deserve credit even though only one actually went through the Temple; Jennifer's quick thinking saved their run from derailing before it even began.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aNZENvRuwI The Very Tall Turban of Ahmed Baba]] deserves recognition. Not only does Shane solo the entire Run (in itself no mean feat), but he does it while going through nearly ''every'' room in the Temple, avoiding getting caught by a second Temple Guard through judicious application of GenreSavvy.[[note]]Based on his path, the other two Guards were most likely in the Crypt and the Dark Forest; he outright ignores the former, knowing well enough not to take the upper path when the artifact is in an upper room, and he evades the latter by not bothering with with trees and just smashing through the wall.[[/note]] To cap it all off, he makes it out of the Temple with ''fifteen seconds'' to spare, something many contestants with much shorter routes couldn't pull off. And for bonus points, like the aforementioned Tarrah, he eschews tossing the pots in the King's Storeroom to the ground in favor of smashing them between his hands.

* In the same vein as Tarrah of the Purple Parrots, we have Missy of the Blue Barracudas in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDpILei1OK8 The Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor]]" solo-running through the Temple with only a pendant on her. She had to use the pendant but successfully dodged the other guards to retrieve the pillow. Missy was also the first person to retrieve an artifact from that room in that temple and one of two over.

The girl going first signals her partner where the spare half-pendant was going to be and the boy ''uses the dog leash'' as a lasso to grab the rope and swing his way onto the other side. More importantly, the team had a whole and half-pendant; the girl could've taken the pendant but she gave it up so her partner could retrieve it. As one comment put it, "Logic = Fuckin' Victory".

* All of the three teams to make it out of the temple with exactly one second left.

* Any episode where players managed to complete a Temple Run [[FlawlessVictory without losing a single pendant]]. Also, more than once the team made it out of the Temple with one second to spare.

* In ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zd_Gya_6W8 The Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzb-V_VMI04 The Moccasins of Geronimo]],'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7kea9mN1LE The Ruby Earring of bin-Zabib]]'', the teams make it through in under ''two'' minutes.

** Though it should be noted that at 1:50, the Temple Run for The Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland was just three seconds longer than that of the Mask of Shaka Zulu - and the path to the Horn included the Tomb of the Headless Kings ''and'' the Jester's Court, usually huge time sinks.[[note]] Coincidentally, the winners in both episodes were the Red Jaguars.[[/note]]

* Some of the stunts the kids did in the Temple Run count. These include:
** Getting a Levitating Dog Leash? Simple. Using a Levitating Dog Leash to pull a rope to your side and thus saving you from the Pit of Despair? Nothing short of ''awesome''.
** Despite only winning 3 of their runs, the Purple Parrots were ''really awesome''. For example, what's the best way to seat yourself in the Jester's Court? With your back to the camera and your helmet ''bashing one of the buttons for you'' in order to get some snakeskin boots. Tipping vases got you down? How about you ''punch and smash them with your bare hands'' to get your hands on a milk bucket. Need to get a Metal Beard of an Egyptian Queen? First, the one in the lead just zips through half of the area and doesn't even ''bat an eye'' when a Temple Guard asks for a Pendant of Life, before getting stuck in the Dark Forest. Then, let your partner go through the whole temple, grab the beard and take some time to go through the remaining rooms before ensuring victory! The best part of all of these victories? ''All of them had less then ten seconds to go''.
