Operating Instructions

Engage with the Hot Wheels City Toxic Gorilla Slam playset using these steps:

1. Place Your Car: Position a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels vehicle into the truck launcher.
2. Launch the Car: Firmly press down on the launcher mechanism (the yellow lever on the truck) to propel the car along the track.
3. Conquer the Gorilla: There are three primary ways to defeat the Toxic Gorilla:
   • Direct Hit: Aim your car to hit the gorilla directly, causing it to react.
   • Stunt Options: Utilize the adjustable launcher to set up different stunting options, such as launching through the loop or over obstacles, to reach the gorilla.
   • Defeat Mechanism: Successfully hitting the target area on the gorilla will cause it to collapse and turn blue, indicating its defeat.
4. Gorilla Reactions: The gorilla features multicolored lights and various sounds. Its reactions indicate its mood:
   • If you miss the target, the gorilla will growl and glow menacingly, showing its anger.
   • If your car gets "eaten" by the gorilla, it may burp.
   • Upon defeat, the gorilla will collapse and turn blue.
5. Interactive Play Features: Explore the playset's additional features, such as the moveable gas hoses at the gas station and the tire-shop mechanism.
6. Connect to Other Sets: The playset includes multiple connection points on its base, allowing it to link with other Hot Wheels track sets (sold separately) for expanded play possibilities.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the playset surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse the playset in water or use harsh cleaning agents.
• Battery Replacement: When the lights and sounds of the gorilla become faint or stop working, it's time to replace the batteries. Refer to the "Battery Installation" step in the Setup section. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
• Storage: Store the playset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While the playset is designed for durability, frequent disassembly for storage may not be ideal as some connections are designed for secure, long-term assembly.
