Mattel trap Demo/sound check mode?

Anyone else know about this? Hold down the pedal with the trap off and in movie mode. Power the unit on and you will hear the startup twice. Now release the pedal. Now every time you hit the pedal it will cycle through all the sounds, lighting and movement. Pretty cool! :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah i stumbled onto it by accident when i pulled mine out and hooked it up, thought it was broken at first.

Nice little easter egg. Thanks tossing that out there!

I cant wait to get my trap and try this out for myself!!!

It must be a GB 2 mode just like with the pke meter. If you watch the courtroom battle Egon only has to hit the pedal once in order to trap the brothers. Im surprised it doesnt mention it in the book like it did with the pke.

the last part of the cycle is nuts, every light comes on and it shakes like crazy!

Does it stay like that or does it rest itself?

these traps are so valuable and I’m such a scaredy-cat..can I go from this “easter egg” feature back to normal pedal/trap features? I want to be able to enjoy this way cool toy/prop..but I don’t want it short-circuited or something.

when you shut it off it goes back to normal.

Ayeah! The thing almost flopped off my coffee table! I made a demo video showing all the modes. Test mode demo starts at about 2:03

I was having some problems with my trap. When in movie mode, when it got to the white lights/shaking, it would reset/quit working/or freak out. I was freaked out. But then I read this Easter Egg and tried it out. It seems to have reset my trap because it is working fine now! Weird, huh?
