FAQs

Are batteries required for this set?

No, the Sharkport Showdown is entirely gravity and mechanically powered; no batteries are required.

Can I use other Hot Wheels cars in this set?

Yes, most standard Hot Wheels vehicles are compatible, though Color Shifters cars are required for the color-change effects.

How do I make the car change colors?

Submerge the Color Shifters car in the dunk tank or splash pool. Warm water will generally shift the color to one shade, while ice-cold water will shift it to another.

Is the set waterproof?

The set is designed for water play; however, it is made of plastic and should be dried thoroughly after use to prevent mold or water damage.

What is the recommended age range?

The set is recommended for children aged 4 to 99 years old.

Troubleshooting

The car gets stuck on the ramp.

Check that all track sections are fully connected and clear of debris or obstructions.

The shark jaw is not chomping correctly.

Ensure the mechanical pivot points are not blocked by plastic packaging tabs or misplaced track pieces.

Color change is not working.

Ensure you are using water with significant temperature differences (ice-cold vs. warm) as per Color Shifters guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly: The set requires adult assembly. Ensure all plastic track pieces are snapped firmly into their designated slots according to the manual.

Compatibility: This playset is compatible with most standard-sized Hot Wheels vehicles, though performance may vary depending on the car's weight and design. The track connectors allow for integration with other expandable Hot Wheels sets.

Care: After water play, ensure the dunk tank and splash pool are drained and the track is wiped dry to maintain the integrity of the plastic and prevent water spots. Store in a cool, dry place to ensure longevity.
