No batteries required, fun for children aged 2 and up! Develops finger dexterity with 8 switches and levers! Functionality has been confirmed. No noticeable scratches, and in relatively good condition. There are some scuffs on the slope. I have carefully wiped away dust before listing, but some fine dust may remain in hard-to-reach areas. Please review the photos as this is a used item. Will be shipped in the original box. *Percy's ball is missing.
