Hoverball is a sport mentioned in the Ratchet & Clank series. It is a team sport played across different organic species and robots, whose teams compete against one another during hoverball season. Though the rules and history of the sport are unknown, it is known to have existed in Kaden's day, and appears to be played with hoverboots.[a]
During Tools of Destruction, Captain Qwark mentioned hoverball as one of the hobbies of "Mustachio Furioso".[2] Later, Captain Slag, announcing the start of hoverball season, requested his space pirates sign up for their hoverball match against the drophyds taking place two weeks later, forbidding pirates with peglegs from applying.[3]
During A Crack in Time, Alister Azimuth, impressed with Ratchet's mastery of the hoverboots, mentioned that his father Kaden had captained the hoverball team on Fastoon and could outrace elders at nineteen years old.[1] Given the context of the conversation, this implies that the sport is played with hoverboots. Later, a terachnoid on Axiom City named Gorthax berated one of his peers for having failed to make the hoverball team,[4] showing the terachnoids had a team despite their aversion to physical activity.[5]
