🏃 Genius Run Launcher for Marble Playsets Review

It was a great idea to expand the marble game! The performance was bad. It comes with light plastic balls as it cannot lift glass balls! So all these glass marbles. Also, it can't lift light plastic balls that high. Cheap but disappointing.

My 4-year-old grandson just liked it. A lighter plastic marble could have been used. I bought another set to get more balls and also bought more plastic balls from Hungry Hippo game. They go higher than glass marbles, and with an extra set of launchers, you can build them even higher.

Pretty I would say but not very reliable. You can't get glass balls that big, and it only triggers correctly about 1 out of 4 key presses. We found that we could get it working with a taller marble walkway if we put it on a table and built it all the way to the ground. But my kid loves it. It attaches well and is a fun addition.

So I bought my nephew a marble run for Christmas and then of course he wanted to add something. I once bribed him to be nice by telling him I would buy him a launcher, which he kept showing me. The bribe worked and now of course he wants more Marne Run parts. Well, at least I have more to bribe him with.

Added this item to the marble run set for my 3 year old grandson. He loves it but I've found that I can only use the hollow balls that come with it and they can only go up 5 sections. It is not strong enough to lift the glass beads up more than 2 sections. So I have it in a closed circuit so no glass beads get into the starting position.

Tried the launcher with the balloons included. Sometimes the balls started as expected. More often the marble was only partially lifted into the tubes or returned to the feed channel. Sometimes two balls got stuck on the launch pad at the same time and we had to take them apart. We've tried pressing the start button with varying strengths, but couldn't find a consistently working way. We also tried glass beads and only 6 tubes as recommended in the instructions. Her performance was even worse…
