Monkey Statues
They are silver monkey statues inside all the locations in the jungle. When a team gets a silver monkey statue, they get 10 seconds in the Temple Of The Jungle King. The red monkey statue is the Ruby monkey that gives the team 20 seconds. It used to give them 30 seconds, but they removed that after 2 episodes.The ruby statue often seen in at the old fort,old pyramid and the mine shaft. The more monkey statues they get the more time they have for the Temple Of The Jungle King, with a maximum of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. In 2007 the name monkey was swapped for sacred statue. Altogether the maximun is 18 silver monkey statues and the ruby monkey statue. If the ruby monkey is in the next location the jungle guide can feel it.
In the early series the team got yellow bananas. In one of the early locations is the golden banana. The team must find it and they will get 50 more bananas. Sid and Elvis like bananas. If the team are going to come across the golden banana there is a "Golden banana alert". It is nearly always in the lost tomb. It is unknown how much time each banana is worth. One possibility is 30 seconds automatically plus an additional 15 seconds for every 50 bananas collected. This is true in one episode where the team collected 275 bananas and had 1:45 in the temple. That means 5 groups of 50 bananas. Each group is worth 15 seconds which equals 1:15 plus the additional 30 second is 1:45. Then again, that might not be how their time in the temple was determined.
