When more than one person captures a Shen Gong Wu at the same time, it is called a Xiaolin Showdown. In this eponymous tournament, each team wagers a Shen Gong Wu that they already own. In other circumstances, the contestants may make a Shen Yi Bu Dare, in which they will stake numerous (typically two) Shen Gong Wu. If the opponent fails to capture them within a certain time limit, then the players who caught the statues win the game. In addition to wagering their own statues, contestants in a Xiaolin Showdown can also wage others' statues. For example, if contestant A catches a Shen Gong Wu that belongs to contestant B, A can choose not to return it to B; instead, they can bet another Shen Gong Wu on the outcome of the showdown. Contestants are allowed to change their mind up until the time limit is up. If no one wins any prizes after all the Shen Gong Wu have been returned or captured, then the last person to have staked anything wins the game. Shen Gong Wu can be used in place of money to play games such as Xiaolin Ping during times when gambling is prohibited. However, they are not considered to be currency and do not count toward winning money titles such as World's Foremost Expert. Shen Gong Wu appear in almost every episode except where specifically stated otherwise.
