Operating Instructions
Engage with the Hot Wheels City Toxic Gorilla Attack playset using these steps:
- Place Vehicle: Position a Hot Wheels vehicle (1:64 scale) onto the launcher.
- Adjust Launcher: The red truck launcher can be adjusted to three different angles to vary the stunt difficulty and target the gorilla.
- Launch Car: Press down firmly on the yellow lever of the launcher to propel the car forward.
- Defeat the Gorilla: Aim the car to hit the gorilla's chest or mouth. Successful hits will cause the gorilla to react with lights and sounds, and if defeated, it will collapse and turn blue.
- Gorilla Reactions: The gorilla's lights and sounds will change to indicate its anger level. If the car is "swallowed" by the gorilla, it will make a "burping" sound.
- Explore Features: Utilize the gas pump hoses and tire check mechanism for additional imaginative play scenarios. Track divertors allow for varied car paths.
