Q: How does it launch?? There's no instructions
submitted by S80 - 1 month ago
A: I finally figured it out it's the bottom piece of the sharks tail that launches the car
submitted byMae - 1 month agoA: Thank you! Reading the other question helped me figure out the tail pull launcher. Still a piece of junk!
submitted byJennie - 1 month agoA: The bottom tip of the tail pulls out and hits the car like a pinball. The car hits the sharks tounge and the causes the fin on the back of the sharks head to hit the car and propell it forward. It works about 10% of the time and we have yet to make it through the loop.
submitted byKP - 1 month agoA: See the video I uploaded in my review. Pull the tail back AND lift up until it catches like a trigger. Place the car with the shark's mouth open. Tap the tail like a button and it will shoot the car forward around the loop. It has worked for us 100% of the time, and my kid loves this toy. Target should include simple instructions on the box to avoid everyone's frustration.

Its okay
It’s not a bad toy, it’s pretty cheaply made but you get what you pay for. It was missing one car but the box I bought was damaged at purchase. There’s a pin you pull back on the fin of the shark which launches the car, it’s gotta be on a table or hardwood floor for it to pull back properly doesn’t work proper on carpet for that method. In conclusion it’s a $5 toy so for quality it is what it is, it isn’t that big but pretty much just a basic toy. I would recommend spending a bit more on something better.

doesn't launch the car well and is actually really hard to use for an adult, let alone a child.

Missing parts
Missing two items. Box was securely closed so it’s not like it would have been easily stolen - seems like it wasn’t boxed correctly in the factory.

terrible design
This is a terrible product. It does not even stay together to be able to use it. I would give it 0 stars if that was an option. we wasted $5.

A steal !
I installed it for my nephew, he loves it. It's easy to use once you figure it out. Best gift ever with that price point.

Fun toy, Great price
super fun toy, my son loves it! it was a little tricky to set up but once my son figure out the car goes behind the shark inside the body and using the shark tail to pull/ activate the launcher, there was no stopping him. He was playing with his cars for hours!

Great toy if you know how it works- See video
Target would sell a lot more of these if they'd just include simple instructions on the box. Once we figured out how it works, it has been nonstop fun. See video I uploaded. You have to pull out AND up on the shark's tail until it catches like a trigger. Once the car is loaded, tap the tail like a button and the car will make the loop every single time. A lot of comments are people trying to pull back on the tail and release it like a pinball machine, but the trick is to pull back and up until it stays locked and loaded like a trigger. Make sure the shark's mouth is open, then tap the tail like a button. We are loving this $5 toy! It just needs instructions.

Same experience as everyone else dont expect to use this with the loop. but if you just want to shoot cars across a hard floor it works fine.
Poor design

Don't buy
Absolute garbage, wish I checked the reviews before buying. Does not get the car even halfway up the loop. Tough to get the car situated to even begin launching it. Get what you pay for I guess

Dont wast your money!
Don’t waste your money! Tracks don’t fit correctly, and the launcher doesn’t work. You have to physically hold the shark mouth open, hold the car in place, and hold the launcher piece back at the same time; and even then it doesn’t get up enough speed to move more that a couple inches. A waste of $5 and some sad, frustrated kids.
