The Hoverboard is a Wing-type accessory that allows the player to fly and glide, as all Wings do. It also offers the added ability to "hover" by holding the down key in addition to the usual jump key. Hovering offers a horizontal speed boost, and otherwise operates similarly to the Flying Carpet, allowing horizontal movement while remaining at a fixed height in midair. Hovering consumes flight time, just like flying would.

Notes

• The equipping mechanics of the Hoverboard follow the same rules as all Wings, meaning they don't stack with other Wings, and wearing another Wing type in a slot above the Hoverboard will use the upper Wings' statistics and abilities instead. Equipping any Wing in a vanity slot will cancel the Hoverboard graphic.
• Has a flight range of 172 feet (86 blocks), the same as Festive Wings.
• Unlike a lot of accessories, the hoverboard will dye brilliant colors (as will Shroomite Armor)- a dye paired with Silver Dye (note: NOT a bright dye) will invert the colors of the hoverboard. A dye paired with Black Dye will cause the original sprite's silver trimming to be black. The flames will change colors too.
• You can't hover in mobile unless you have a Bluetooth controller.
• Hovering does not work if jump is set to W and up is set to something else.

Tips

• While hovering, a full set of Shroomite Armor will still turn invisible as long as the player doesn't move while in that state. This effectively allows the player to create a temporary safe place to turn invisible for a few seconds.

Trivia

• Hover speed is faster than Boulders or even Demon Scythes.
• The concept of the hoverboard was first widely popularized with the Back to the Future movie franchise, especially Back to the Future Part II.
• When hovering while swinging a sword that allows the player to "moon walk", such as the Excalibur, the Hoverboard does not change direction when reversing, like the player does.

History

• 1.2.4: Fixed the exploit where you could have infinite Hoverboard hovering time. This was done by hovering between two double-jumps provided by other accessories (such as the Bundle of Balloons).

• 1.2.3: Made hoverboard not appear on a mount. Fixed hoverboard bug where you could walk on air while in reverse gravity.

• 1.2.1.2: Introduced.
