Gameplay

The game is based on the 2005 film, and uses mobile phone buttons to operate. The left and right "soft keys" are used to navigate menus, while the 5 key is used to select options and launch balls. The 4 button operates the table's left-side flippers, and the 6 button operates those on its right. The 7, 8, and 9 buttons are used to tilt the table. Video events on the simulated video screen include using the 4 and 6 keys to fend off attacking Venatosaurus. If a ball is lost, a Vastatosaurus rex is shown eating it. During the "lottery" at the end of a ball's run, used to determine if the player can continue, a graphic is shown of Kong discarding various women until settling on one. If the player is able to pass the gate of Skull Island, and pass the letters spelling "ANN" behind them three times, they will be prompted to interact with a randomized feature of the the table, which will give out a considerable bonus if completed within the time limit. If the ball is hit into the hole in front of the Empire State Building, it will trigger a random event, ranging from a score bonus to a quick-time event where the player must use the phone's keys to either shoot approaching Venatosaurus or swat down airplanes as Kong.
