'''Hydro Hopper''' (formerly known as '''Ballistic Biscuit''') is one of the oldest games in [[Club Penguin]]. This is because it wasn't original, it made its debut on the now-defunct [[Rocketsnail Games]] website. It's located at the [[Dock]]. In it, the player rides along on an inner tube towed by a motorboat and avoids obstacles in the water. There are some inner tubes. [[Non-members]] can only use these. After a while, players go on to the next level. In between the levels there are tips but after a few levels, there are jokes instead.

To play, players just move their mouse from left to right and click to jump. They should watch out for periscopes, balls, logs, and icebergs and remember that they can't jump over the buoys.

*Players can earn more [[coins]] by jumping over items except for the buoys because you can't jump over buoys as they are too high. One item is 1 point, but if they jump over it it will become 10 points ( 1 [[coin]] ) (20 points when using a wakeboard). Also you can jump over things more than once to get more points.

*When players get hit, they don't have to stay at the same place the whole time. But they can move around for a few seconds without getting hit another time. However, at the same time even if they don't move they will still get points.
