Steel ball going up a cliff face

[shaft121]

It's a weird title I know and this wasn't strictly a board game but it doesn't fit into any other categories.

The object was about 8-12 inches high and rectangular. You had to get a steel ball bearing all the way from the bottom to the top using a variety of different items. It was battery powered (possibly wind-up) and had things like moving platforms, arms and levers which would try to knock the ball off.

I'm struggling to remember much more but I swear it had either something to do with a King Kong style ape or some similar (yet metallic) rip off.

I can't remember the name but one of my cousins had it. I managed to do it after some effort, but the bridges needed split second timing.

The ad's had somone's Dad trying & failing at playing it.

The robot gorilla character it looked like something from a Super Nintendo game.
