Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your Hot Wheels Cobra Attack Playset:
- Place Car: Position a Hot Wheels vehicle onto the launcher mechanism at the start of the ramp.
- Prepare Cobra: Ensure the cobra's jaws are open and ready to trap a car.
- Launch Car: Press the launcher button or mechanism firmly to propel the car forward. The goal is to launch the car past the cobra's head or into its jaws.
- Defeat the Cobra: If a car is trapped in the cobra's jaws, launch another car to hit the cobra's head, releasing the trapped vehicle and sending both cars speeding down the track.
- Connect and Expand: This playset can be connected to other Hot Wheels City tracks (sold separately) to create a larger, more complex play environment. Look for connection points on the track pieces.
