The toy alters the path of the marbles rolling through the game and includes a chute (10) and a landing (12) spaced from the chute. The chute includes an entrance (16) at the top of a downwardly extending speed track (14) and a jump (18), defined by an upturned end (20) at the lower end of the speed track. The landing is spaced from the jump and includes an exit (24) for the marble's traverse through the remaining toys of the marble race game.
