A Groovitron was a floating disco ball that played mesmerising music, causing anyone near it to dance uncontrollably. They could be purchased individually as a device for a price of 500 bolts from a device vendor, and later as ammo for the Groovitron Glove for a price of 400 bolts. In PlayStation Move Heroes, this device became a power up for Ratchet when he collected enough crystals. The effects of the Groovitron allowed for a good laugh, and a chance to take out any dancing enemies.

Ratchet &amp; Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Groovitrons were devices and could be purchased for 500 bolts each at device vendors. The Golden Groovitron could be purchased for 2,000,000 raritanium in challenge mode. The skill point Everybody Dance Now was acquired by making all enemies in the game dance with a Groovitron.

Ratchet &amp; Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Devices were removed, and Groovitrons returned as ammo for the Groovitron Glove, a glove weapon that threw Groovitrons. The skill point Terachnoid Rave could be acquired by making 12 Terachnoids dance with one Groovitron.

Trivia

 * In an interview with IGN it was suggested that the Groovitron has been proposed for several Ratchet and Clank games but was scratched for being too powerful and making gameplay unbalanced.
 * The many dances that the Groovitron induced included Michael Jackson's moon walk.
 * This device was shown in the Tools of Destruction official teaser trailer.
 * When the in-game language was switched to Japanese, the Groovitron had a whole different playlist, due to the fact that the Disco fever never hit Japan; instead, the playlist consisted of techno tracks, including a remix of Courtney Gears.
 * When the Groovitron was active, Ratchet and Clank banged their heads to the beat.
 * In the Japanese version, each Groovitron track started out with someone saying 'Let's go to the party!' in English.
 * All of the tracks that the Groovitron played were the same speed in beats per minute. It is highly possible that they were beat-matched in order to fit the dances of the characters to all the tracks.
