Summer Items

**Summer Items** are a variety of holdable, inedible items similar to the Soccer Pumpkin. The three summer items are Floaters, Umbrellas, and Beachballs. Each of them provides bonus XP and Coins when being used.

They were first introduced in the Summer Update on July 30, 2021. Although it was stated in that update's changelog entry that Summer Items would be removed in September 2021, they were removed on October 27 instead. The Summer Items were briefly reinstalled to Beta in early April 2022, and fully re-added in the main game in the second Summer Update on July 12, 2022.

* Doughnut with Sprinkles
* Avocado Floater
* Avocado Floater (Hole)

* Garden Floater
* Striped Floater
* Pizza Floater
* Flamingo Floater
* Orange Floater
* Magma/Ice Whale Floater
* Strawberry Floater
* Rocket Floater

The **Floater**, also called the **Floaty**, is a feature in Mope.io that was originally added in the Summer Update. It appears in Oceans, and less commonly in Lakes. It is a substance that is not consumed, but can be ridden on by animals within tier 5 to tier 15. It has 13 known variants that differ in appearance, but provide the same amount of XP and coins regardless.

## Technical

* The Floater spawns only in the Ocean biome and occasionally in Lakes.
	+ Floaters cannot enter Water Spots; they will be pushed around them.
* The only way to ride a Floater is if both the player and item are in the water. The player must be touching the Floater while they are both in water. It is only usable by animals that are in the range of tier 5 to tier 15 – animals above tier 15 or below tier 5 cannot use them.
* Riding a Floater increases the player's speed in water by 10% but reduces their turn speed significantly. If the player manually gets off a Floater, they will keep this speed for approximately 5 seconds in the water and slow down to their normal speed immediately after.
	+ Players riding a Floater can still bite Animals, boost, and eat food, yet cannot use their Special Ability. They will push around beachballs and umbrellas, being completely unable to carry them.
	+ Riding a Floater provides bonus XP and coins, similarly to the Soccer Pumpkin. Unlike Pumpkins, Floaters will never disappear.
	+ Players on a Floater are unable to enter Hiding Holes – they will go over them.
* Players are able to kick others off a Floater by shooting water with the `S` key or the animal's Special Ability.
	+ Alternatively, anyone that is using a Floater can get off it by pressing `W` or `S`, firing it backwards. After doing this, there is a 5 second delay in which the player cannot pick up or use any other object, including other Floaters. Oddly enough, the usual 5 second delay after picking up an object does not apply to Floaters (a player can let go of a beachball and immediately ride a Floater).
* When riding a Floater on land, the player's speed and handling decreases immensely, making them vulnerable. If a player attempts to ride a Floater on land, the game sends an error message: "You can't ride floaties outside waters!"
* Floaters can be picked up by Tornados, but cannot be duplicated.

## Appearance

The Floater spawns in at least thirteen different appearances. The first 8 were added on July 30, 2021; the Rainbow Popsicle, Avocado (both forms are separate), Watermelon, Doughnut with Sprinkles, Garden, Pizza, and the Striped Floater. The last 5 were added on July 12, 2022. These names are conjectural, meaning that it is not certain if these names are official. The Doughnut with Sprinkles, striped floater, garden, and watermelon have the same shape. The Floaters all function identically to each other.

* The Rainbow Popsicle has a dark brown stick and a linear striped color arrangement; starting with pink and ending with dark blue.
* The Avocado Floater resembles a halved avocado with the seed in it. It alternatively spawns without the seed.
* The Doughnut with Sprinkles has a caramel-brown base with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles.
* The Striped Floater has red and yellow stripes with differing widths.
* The Watermelon resembles a watermelon with the middle hollowed out.
* The Garden Floater resembles a grassy field with small flowers on it, with the middle hollowed out.
* The Pizza Floater resembles a slice of pizza with various toppings.
* The Flamingo Floater resembles a pink ring with the head and wings of a Flamingo.
* The Orange Floater is an orange thick ring with shimmers.
* The Whale Floater has the form of a Blue Whale, but one half is blue like ice while the other is dark red with orange cracks like magma.
* The Strawberry Floater is a red strawberry containing various red seeds, a stem, and a small hole at its center.
* The Rocket Floater is light blue with a red cone top and sides at the bottom. It has a small hole at the center.

## Trivia

* Floaters are the only objects in the game that can be launched backwards.
* They can be launched inside hiding holes.
* Floaters are the only objects that prevent using hiding holes. Entering one with any other object causes the player to simply lose control of the item and enter it normally.

### Glitches

* Floaters were able to move animals that were using the 1v1 Arena until the "*Hotfix 2.7*" update on August 27, 2021.

## Umbrella

* Purple Umbrella
* Rainbow Umbrella
* Golden Umbrella

The **Umbrella** is a feature in Mope.io that was added in the Summer Update. It spawns anywhere in the game. Animals between tier 5 to tier 16 can equip themselves with an Umbrella.

## Technical

* The Umbrella can spawn in any biome, in its closed state. It spawns only on low ground, or in open water in the Ocean's case.
* Umbrellas are equipped on contact with a non-AI Animal, as long as they are in between tiers 5–16.
* Pressing `W` or `S` while holding an Umbrella will allow the animal using it to throw it a medium distance. Alternatively, other animals use the `S` key to shoot water at any animal with an umbrella, causing them to involuntarily throw the umbrella away.
* Unlike other objects, Umbrellas remain in use while on Hills and Rocks. However, they shift to the outer edges of the terrain, and may be thrown involuntarily if the Animal holding it is too small.
* The Umbrella decreases the rate of water depletion by 25%.
* It provides bonus XP and Coins with a slightly superior speed to that of the Pumpkin.
	+ Placing the cursor in the center or very close to the center of the player's Animal (to where the player is still or moving very very slowly) will close the Umbrella, not giving coins/XP and having normal water depletion until the cursor is further away.
* There is a 5 second delay before picking up another object (including another Umbrella) after letting one go in any way.
* Umbrellas move non-stationary food such as Mushroom Bushes and Melons and act as an obstruction for Animals while in their open state. Because of this, they can prevent the animal using it from biting prey or eating certain food, but this can be avoided if angled strategically.
* Umbrellas have a delay in between each Umbrella spawn, possibly to prevent excessive Umbrellas on the map. The exact delay is unknown.

### Golden Umbrella

* All of the above criteria apply to the Golden Umbrella.
* The Golden Umbrella decreases water depletion by 60%.
* It is considerably rare; rarer then the usual umbrella, meaning it is less likely of appearing than the regular Umbrella. The exact rarity is unknown.

## Appearance

### Closed State

The Umbrellas, in their closed state, are long seed-shaped objects with a wooden cane from the bottom. The Purple Umbrella is blue and purple, the Rainbow Umbrella displays red, orange, yellow, and green, and the Golden Umbrella is in two slightly different golden colors.

### Open State

In their open state, the Umbrellas are octagons with curved sides, split into 8 parts. Each vertice has a short wooden pole sticking out of it. The very center has another pole. The Purple Umbrella alternates between blue and purple, the Rainbow Umbrella alternates through the rainbow, and the Golden Umbrella has two shades of gold.

## Trivia

* Umbrellas used to spawn without a delay in between each.
* Umbrellas can be "scored" in Large Hiding Holes, although it will not give coins and will cause the Umbrella to disappear.
* If an umbrella despawns in a player's possession, picking up another Umbrella will not give coins or xp until it is dropped and picked up again.

### Glitches

* Umbrellas were bugged on their initial release and did not have their closed sprite. As a result they were invisible, so a player could not tell where an umbrella was. This was fixed on August 3, 2021.
* Attempting to pick up a dropped Umbrella right after dropping it will sometimes push the player strangely against it for a second. This is possibly from the game attempting to right the umbrella.
* Umbrellas were able to move animals that were using the 1v1 Arena until the "*Hotfix 2.7*" update on August 27, 2021.

## Beachball

* Beachball
* Golden Beachball

The **Beachball** is a feature in Mope.io added in the Summer Update, with similar properties to the Soccer Pumpkin. Unlike Pumpkins, Beachballs spawn exclusively in the Ocean.

## Technical

* Acts identical to a Pumpkin, but spawns exclusively to the Ocean.
* Beachballs don't go as far as Pumpkins when passed or kicked. When passed/kicked in water, they barely gain any ground.
* Provides 2 coins every 7-8 seconds. The Golden Beachball provides 4 coins every 7-8 seconds.
* Beachballs will only give xp and coins if they are being moved. If the holder stands still, they will not gain coins or xp.
* If a Beachball is in water and currently not being held, it will float slowly in small increments to the edge of water. Because of this, Beachballs often drift to Beaches.
* If a Beachball is kicked and lands on a Hill/Rock, it will stay on it for a moment before correctly being pushed aside.
* There is a 5 second delay before picking up another object(including another Beachball) after letting go.
* Beachballs have a delay in between each Beachball spawn.
* Beachballs can be picked up by Tornados, but cannot be duplicated.

## Appearance

### Beachball

The Beachball is a circle with shading and lighting to seem globular. It has 6 regions, 3 of which are white, and the other three are yellow, red, and blue. It has a white circle at the very top where the colors connect.

### Golden Beachball

The Golden Beachball is exactly the same but is entirely light yellow with additional shades of gold. It has more highlighting.

## Trivia

* Beachballs used to spawn without a delay in between each.
* Regular beachballs give less XP than Pumpkins when scored. Golden beachballs also give less than Golden Pumpkins.
* Beachballs have an animation when moved, similar to Pumpkins. This animation only played in Water in its original release, but was corrected in their July 12, 2022 re-addition. They now make the animation on Water and Land.
* Because of the drifting movement Beachballs do in Water, it's possible for a Beachball to score itself in a Whirlpool, although in such a scenario it will not give coins to anyone.
* Beachballs can be sucked into the Sea Monster and Kraken whirlpool.

### Glitches

* Beachballs were able to move animals that were using the 1v1 Arena until the "*Hotfix 2.7*" update on August 27, 2021.
