Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is the first episode in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.

Story

In 1936, Indiana Jones and his guide Satipo travel through the South American jungle to the Lost Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors to obtain the Golden Idol. The other guides are all dispatched by Hovitos Tribesmen and traps, but Indiana and Satipo manage to get past various traps and puzzles as they search for the Idol. They barely manage to escape with the artifact as a large boulder chases them out of the temple. However, Satipo betrays Indiana to Belloq, Indiana's rival, and his employee Hovitos, to whom Indiana is forced to hand over the Idol. After giving him the Idol, Indy runs to his friend Jock's seaplane, but Belloq notices and sends Hovitos to stop Indy. Indy manages to escape in Jock's seaplane just in time.

Indy is back home, teaching at Barnett College, when he meets a pair of government officials. The pair show Indiana that Belloq has allied himself with German soldiers on a quest to find the Ark of the Covenant. To find it, Indy travels to Nepal and finds Marion, who has the headpiece of the Staff of Ra, which can tell them where the Ark is hidden. However, German agent Major Toht secretly follows Indiana to Nepal. Toht and his goons enter the Ravenwood Tavern and demand the headpiece. Indiana and Marion manage to escape the cafe and make their way through the mountains, pursued by their enemies as they go. Indiana and Marion escape in a German jeep.

Indy and Marion arrive in Cairo to find their old friend Sallah, who knows about the Staff of Ra, but are chased through the streets by Enemy Goons and their hired thugs. Indiana and Marion are nearly crushed by a falling pot in a plot coordinated by the sinister, eye-patched Monkey Man. Indiana eventually confronts a Cairo Swordsman and defeats him. Indiana meets up with Sallah, although Marion ends up being captured by the thugs, but not before dropping him the headpiece. Indiana shoots at the truck he thinks took Marion, but it crashes and explodes. Believing he has murdered Marion, Indiana repents while failing to realize that Marion is being taken away by her real captors.

Disguised as two Egyptian excavators, Indiana Jones and Sallah sneak into the German's Tanis dig site, where they use the Staff of Ra to locate the Ark's final resting place, The Well of Souls. Indy continues with Sallah and finds the well. Indiana is reluctant to go in, as it is full of snakes, his worst fear. Anyway, Sallah pushes Indiana and both manage to reach the Ark by solving numerous and complex puzzles. Sallah pulls the Ark out of the well, but is captured by Enemy Soldiers who had noticed Indiana earlier and are now accompanied by Belloq and Major Toht. Major Toht drops the recently captured Marion (now wearing an evening dress provided by Belloq) into the pit with Indiana and then seals the place off while the troops carry off the Ark. Indiana and Marion eventually manage to find a way out of the well through a weak stone wall after defeating Egyptian Mummies.

Indy and Marion comically dispatch soldiers who attempt to stop them and then fight their way through the German camps to retrieve the Ark. They find the Ark aboard a transport plane, but have to fight off a tough Enemy Boxer who blocks their path. The boxer is decapitated by one of the plane's propellers, and Indiana and Marion discover that Belloq, Major Toht, and the German military strategist Colonel Dietrich have loaded the Ark onto a truck and left. Sallah appears in time with his own jeep to help Indiana reach the German truck, board it, finally recover the ark, and stop Belloq, Major Toht, and Colonel Dietrich's car in the desert. Indiana and Marion bid farewell to Sallah as they board a cargo ship captained by Captain Katanga, who has agreed to transport the Ark. The ship is stopped by a German submarine. Enemy Soldiers board the ship and take the Ark and Marion, while Indiana hides in an air vent and then swims aboard the submarine, while being cheered on by Katanga, who salutes the archaeologists' efforts.

Indy disguises himself as one of the submarine's crew members and eliminates a guard who distracts Marion at the submarine's secret base, allowing her to escape. Later, Indiana and Marion are captured by Belloq and others, despite their attempts to remain unnoticed. Indiana and Marion attempt to defeat Belloq before he can open the Ark, but are discovered by Colonel Dietrich and Major Toht, and are tied up. However, when the Ark is opened, ghosts fly out of it and bombard Belloq and company until they finally break apart, having broken God's laws by looking at the Ark's contents. Indiana and Marion look away during the ceremony, so they are free to take the Ark home, where government agents take it to an abandoned warehouse, while Indiana takes Marion to dinner.

Differences from the film

• Although the game is designed for a single player, Indy and Satipo are never separated in the temple. They also fight the Hovitos during their attempt to find the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol.
• The giant boulder of the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors is much larger than in the film and the home console version.
• Satipo does not end up dying in the temple; instead, he joins Belloq, but is not seen again for the rest of the game.
• Before Indy finally hands the Idol over to Belloq, Indy shows him a diamond and a rubber duck, but he doesn't accept it.
• In the scene where Indy explains to the agents about the Ark, he is in his Professor outfit, but suddenly he puts on his brown jacket and fedora hat.
• Regan is absent from the game.
• Any reference to the drinking contest is omitted.
• In the home console version and the film, Marion's hair is black, but in the DS version, it is brown.
