Xiaolin Showdown is a game based on the Kids WB cartoon of the same name. It was released in November of 2006. Players are able to play as the Xiaolin Apprentices, and one of the game objectives is to get the Shen Gong Wu. It is possible that new Shen Gong Wu was made specifically for this video game. The Shen Gong Wu requires the use of "Chi Energy" from the player.

There are 6 playable characters in the game: Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay. And two unlockable characters Jack Spicer and Chase Young. When Xiaolin Showdowns take place, the competitors get transported to an arena where they face off in a random mini-game (eg. "Tag You're It"). Master Fung appears in some parts of the game giving tips for the player.
