Abstract

A spinning top toy includes a braking member, a shaft part which is configured to be rotated, and a body which is detachably attached to the shaft part. The body is configured to be detached from the shaft part by being rotated with respect to the shaft part. When an impact is applied to the body, the braking member is configured on one of the shaft part and the body and is movable by a centrifugal force. When urged by the centrifugal force, the braking member is configured to become in contact with the other of the shaft part and the body.
