Master the hoverboard race on Planet Rilgar! Learn the optimal path, boost circle locations, and shortcut tricks to secure victory and earn valuable rewards in Ratchet & Clank (2016).

Alright, let's get you that win in the hoverboard race! This one can be a bit tricky, especially if you're going for Gold, but follow these steps and you'll be cruising to victory in no time.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you start, hit both of the initial BOOST CIRCLES. While you're doing that, pull off at least two tricks to get some extra speed.
  2. 2
    Immediately after, take the LEFT PATH. You'll want to grab two more BOOST CIRCLES and then hit the BOOST PAD you find there.
  3. 3
    Keep an eye out for three ARCHES – you absolutely need to hit all of them to unlock the shortcut.
  4. 4
    Grab as many BOXES as you can along the way. After you pass the third set of BOXES, make sure you hit the next BOOST PAD.
  5. 5
    When you reach the RAMP, use your own SPEED BOOST. This is crucial for making the jump to the right side.
  6. 6
    Again, you'll need to hit all three ARCHES to open up the next shortcut.
  7. 7
    Be super careful on the next jump. If you jump too high, you'll miss the platform, and if you jump too low, you won't make it either. It's a very specific sweet spot.
  8. 8
    Once you successfully make the shortcut, you'll snag the GOLD BOLT! From here, just keep repeating these steps for the next two laps to win the HOLOGUISE.
Tips
  • Don't forget to use your own Speed Boost on ramps, especially the one before the jump to the right side. It's the only way to guarantee you make it.
  • The jump after the second shortcut is the most critical. Practice it a few times if you need to – getting the height just right is key.
  • Hitting all the boost circles and pads will give you the speed advantage you need to stay ahead.
  • Grabbing boxes is good for bolts, but don't sacrifice your speed or miss a shortcut for them.
  • Winning the SILVER CUP nets you 4000 BOLTS.
  • Winning the GOLD CUP earns you 10000 BOLTS and a HOLOCARD PACK [RYNO UV PROTOSUIT].

After you're done with the race and head back out of the HQ, look to your right as you exit. You'll find another HOLOCARD PACK just sitting there. Hit the BUTTON nearby and then head to RIDE THE RAIL to continue your adventure.
