Construction Plans
Level 1
This level introduces basic track building and gravity-powered marble movement.
Step 1-1: Vertical Tower Base
Construct a vertical tower. Start with a base of connectors. Place 3 x B-01 connectors vertically. Add 2 x B-03 pieces. Attach 1 x T-14 piece at the top to form a ramp. The diagram shows these components forming a stable vertical structure.

Step 1-2: Horizontal Track Section
Build a horizontal track section. Use 2 x B-02 pieces and 1 x M-07 piece to create a straight or gently curved track segment.
Grid reference shows components arranged horizontally.
Step 1-3: Intermediate Connector Assembly
Assemble an intermediate section using 1 x B-01, 1 x B-05, and 1 x M-18. This section likely connects different track elements or provides support.
Grid reference shows a compact arrangement of these parts.
Step 1-4: Track with Funnel and Drop
Create a track section featuring a funnel and a drop. Use 1 x T-08, 1 x T-20, and 1 x M-18. The T-20 piece likely acts as a funnel or diverter, leading to a drop.

Level 2
This level introduces more complex track layouts and combinations of elements.
Step 2-1: Multi-Level Track Section
Build a section with multiple levels. Use 7 x B-01, 1 x B-05, 1 x T-06, and 1 x M-04. This creates a more intricate vertical structure with track elements.
Grid reference shows a multi-tiered structure with track pieces.
Step 2-2: Straight Track with Support
Assemble a straight track segment with support. Use 5 x B-01, 1 x B-03, and 1 x T-14. The T-14 piece forms a ramp or end piece.
Grid reference shows a linear arrangement with a ramp.
Step 2-3: Curved Track Section
Create a curved track section. Use 2 x B-01, 1 x B-02, 1 x B-03, and 1 x T-02. These pieces connect to form a smooth curve.
Grid reference shows curved track pieces connected.
Step 2-4: Track with Multiple Curves
Build a track with multiple curves. Use 2 x B-01, 1 x B-02, 1 x T-11, and 1 x M-18. The T-11 piece is likely a curved track segment.
Grid reference shows a sequence of curved track pieces.
Step 2-5: Track with Diverter
Assemble a track section with a diverter. Use 2 x B-01, 1 x B-03, 1 x T-01, and 1 x T-02. The T-01 and T-02 pieces likely form a branching or diverging track.
Grid reference shows a track splitting or merging.
Step 2-6: Complex Track Layout
Construct a complex track layout. Use 1 x M-18, 1 x T-08, 1 x T-20, and 1 x T-11. This step combines various track elements for an intricate path.
Grid reference shows a detailed and winding track configuration.
Step 2-7: Track with Funnel and Drop
Build a track section with a funnel and drop. Use 1 x B-05, 1 x T-03, 1 x T-08, and 1 x M-18. This creates a dynamic path for the marbles.
Grid reference shows a funnel leading to a drop.
Step 2-8: Extreme Playset Combination
Combine sets to create an extreme playset. Use 1 x T-14 and 1 x T-20. This step is part of a larger combination, suggesting how to connect different built sections.
Grid reference shows a final configuration, likely part of a larger combined playset.
Create an Extreme Playset
Combine multiple VTech Marble Rush sets to build an even bigger and more exciting playset. Experiment with different track configurations and challenges to create a truly extreme course. The possibilities are endless!
