9-Volt's skateboard[1] is a special skateboard constructed by Dr. Crygor for 9-Volt. It is 9-Volt's primary way of transportation in the WarioWare series. The skateboard features a rocket booster, allowing it to move automatically or even to hover in mid-air. While doing the latter, its four wheels are also able to retract.
