Shanghai Showdown is the seventh level in the Nintendo DS version of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. It is the first level of The Temple of Doom.
Story[]
One year before the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark, in 1935, Indiana Jones finds himself at Club Obi-Wan in Shanghai delivering the Urn of Hirachi to a sinister Lao Che in exchange for a rare diamond. Lao Che tricks Indiana, poisons him and his friend, Wu Han, and demands that he return the diamond in exchange for medicine. While Wu Han dies from the poison, Indiana knocks out Kao Kan, retrieves the medicine and heals himself. Then he and Willie Scott roll a gong and destroy a wall. After defeating Kao Kan, Indiana Jones and Willie escaped Club Obi-Wan to find Indy's little friend, Short-Round, standing in the getaway car. Indy and his friends race to the airport with Lao Che, Kao Kan and their thugs hot on their heels. Indiana, Willie and Short Round manage to leave Shanghai, unaware that the plane belongs to Lao Che.
Walkthrough[]
You start at Club Obi Wan. You will need to grab three blue bricks and place them on a blue pad on the right of the stage. Go left and you will be attacked by two Shanghai Hoodlums. Defeat them and destroy a white music stand to reveal the first blue brick. Grab it and take it to the right. As you go right, you will be attacked by two more Shanghai Hoodlums. Place the blue brick on the blue pad and defeat the two Shanghai Hoodlums. After defeating them, go to the center of the area to find the second blue brick. Grab it and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick can be found on the easternmost banquet table. Grab it and place it on the blue pad as well. By placing the three blue bricks on the blue pad, you will build a handle. Pull it to extend a rope. Climb it to reach the platform above, then climb a second one to reach a higher platform, where you'll find two buttons. Have both characters step on them to drop a huge metal gong and destroy the window on the far right. Then, jump down from the two platforms, climb onto the buffet table on the far right, and jump onto the destroyed window ledge to reach the next area.
In the next area, you'll be escaping in the Short Round's Car. This area consists of three phases. Collect as many studs as you can, but try not to crash into other cars and trucks. It is recommended to take ramps to cross blockades. If you are quick and avoid crashing, you will reach an alley at the end of a phase that will take you to the next one. In the second phase, you will encounter cars that will shoot at you, so be careful with them. You have 100 seconds and if you run out, the level will end. If you manage to reach the end of the third phase, you will see studs forming an arrow that indicate a ramp. Jump up that ramp and get as many remaining studs as you can until you reach the end of the path, where the level will end.

After lowering them, step on their buttons to open the dragon's decorative mouth and reveal a door that will take you to a special area. In that special area, you will be attacked by two Shanghai Hoodlums. Defeat them and destroy a bush on the right to build a red pad.

Grab it and place it on the blue pad. The third blue brick can be found south of the blue pad. By placing the three blue bricks, you will build a lever. Pull it to open the second freezer, where you will find a hatch. Enter it with a small character to reach the ledge above, where you will find this artifact on the left.
- (F) In the special area with the first two artifacts, climb a rope in the upper left corner to reach the platform above. There, go left and use a character with Enemy Access on a military access panel to open the door to yet another special area. In that special area, three Shanghai Hoodlums will attack you.
