The last mission on Joba is to go and win a few hoverbike races. To get to the hoverbike race track, go back and start from the Star Explorer launch pad at the start of the level. Go right this time. At the edge of the cliff, load the Swingshot and traverse across to the small island. Use the swingshot to grapple the blue versa-target and pull down the draw bridge. Whack all the nearby crates for mega bolts. Go to the next section and again pull the bridge down with the swingshot.

Go into the cave and approach the desert rider. Movie sequence begins. The hoverbike official goes over the rules of the races and tells Ratchet about the cool prizes and bolts that can be won here. The big guy accepts Ratchets entrance card and away we go.

It drops land mines on the course when you least expect it. Hit one and you're toast. Don't get bogged down in the open swamp area. This race is 3 laps. Need turbo most of the way, but can miss 2-3. 1st place is about 2:34 or better. 1st place prize Charge Boots!! + 400 bolts. My time 2:28.7.

MORE IMPORTANT: If you wish to get to 80 nano-slots of health for Nano-to-the max, you will need to find all the Nanotech boost stations on all the planets (if there are any around). Inside the short-cut section of the race track right from the swamp, you will find a boost station on the left hand side right near the cliff.
