"I have to open the dimensional gateway." - The opening speech from Archer when starting the level
Dimensional Temple is the second level in the PS1 Small Soldiers game. It is not seen and referenced in the film. It is a level on both one- and two-player modes of the game. Archer must find all four of the colored Gorgonite Chanter tokens in order to obtain the keys to unlock the colored doors to open the portal at the end to complete the level, namely green, red, yellow and blue.

2 Player Mode[]
The layout of the 2 Player version of the map is noticeably different from the singleplayer version. One of the most obvious differences is the lack of the "portal room". Instead, a set of climbable steps in its place with a ramp leading to a harpoon cannon on the platform that overlooked the portal room in the singleplayer version. A swinging bar section can be found ahead of the platform that connects to the second floor of the map. The double ramp section leading to the second floor from the beginning of the singleplayer version was mirrored and serve as the starting spawnpoints for player one and two respectively.
Trivia[]
Early screenshot of the Dimensional Temple
- Early screenshots of the Dimensional Temple depict the portal room with pillar columns similar to the ones seen in the opening FMV as well as floating enchanted rocks that orbit the portal itself. These rocks can still be found by the Spirit Well at the beginning of Spirit Bog but, they are stationary and no longer levitate.
- The early version of Dimensional Temple also originally featured Kip Killigan instead of Chip Hazard.
- This is the first level chronologically to feature Chip Hazard as an enemy combatant while also implying the presence of Chip Hazard duplicates being allowed in the Commando Elite's ranks contrasting to the lone Chip serving as the commanding officer over the army of his squadmates' duplicates.
- This is the first level to contain more than one colored Gorgonite Chanter and multiple doors of the same color.
- This is the first level where a portal is used to complete the level.
