Gorilla Attack (2005)

==Description==
Gorilla Attack is a large motorized Hot Wheels playset introduced in 2005. The set features a large gorilla terrorizing an amusement park and features multiple play features. The set features two loops and a gorilla with two moving arms and a chomping mouth. 4 "D"-sized batteries are required for the set's booster, with the other features mechanically actuated via the booster.
A push button is located on one of the supports of the track which moves a diversion; this allows the car to switch paths. When not pressed, the car goes through a complex loop circuit with numerous turns while trying to avoid the gorilla; if caught by the gorilla, the car is knocked into a cage at the bottom of the circuit and is "lost".
When the button is pushed, the car gets thrown into a shorter loop which the car repeatedly goes through; as the car passes through the loop into the booster, it activates a button which turns a missile launcher one notch. The button must be held down in order for the car to repeatedly go through this loop. While going through this shorter loop, the car must still avoid the gorilla with his moving hands; if the car lands on the gorilla's hand, the car enters the gorilla's mouth, is "eaten" and is "lost".
To "win" the game, the car must repeatedly pass through the shorter loop to rotate the missile launcher ten times while avoiding the gorilla; once the launcher turns ten times, the missile automatically fires and the gorilla is defeated.
