![]() ![]() ![]() The thing comes crashing down after 3 or 4 passes over the track. The Thwomp Ruins one is sort of interesting on its own. There is no real challenge of playing with this thing on its own because it's not fun and frustrating. It spins by winding up with a key that feels like it lasts for no more than 30 seconds. Let me just say how utterly horrible the expansions are on their own. I got the full set with both Thwomp and Piranha Plant expansions. I can get one racer going on their own on a specific track for awhile, but incorporating the second racer just messes it all up. If it was like 15 or 20 laps, maybe you have time to recover and the other person to fall off. It makes using it as a game completely pointless. I forget exactly how many laps there are because it closes the gate and causes the racers to crash, but it is short enough where if one person's racer goes flying off the track, the other person has "won" and the gate is closed. Basically, we were never able to get it to work for a full "race" with both cars launching successfully for more than 1 lap. ![]() So the other person doesn't get the speed to go around the loop and falls off. When starting together, the shakiness of both people hitting the launcher strong enough causes the cars to move enough so that one doesn't get the full launch power, since it is no longer resting flush against the launcher. But hitting the launcher hard kind of shakes the whole set, and can cause the other racer to go flying off the tracks if they are already moving. ![]() That one is difficult to get the kart to not fall off the track unless you hit the launcher really hard on it own. There are two loops that you go through to start it, and one is more sideways than the other. you're lucky if the racers stay on the track for a single lap. I'll start with the problems with the standard set. And since it is a birthday present, the concept of returning a birthday present would just cause too many tears that I do not care to deal with. I ended up getting this for a 5 year old as a birthday present, and it has just been disappointing for everyone. I bought it online from Target on sale on Prime Day, so I didn't pay full MSRP, but now I regret getting it at all. The thing looked amazing and I had to get it. ![]()
