Gobber's Dragon Training Games was an online video game available on the Cartoon Network website. The game consisted of six minigames, each focused on an individual dragon species and each with its own gameplay. Each minigame is based on a short in the miniseries Gobber's Guide to Battling Dragons.
Night Fury's Feeding Time[]
In this minigame, the player controls Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. The goal of the minigame is to dodge Toothless' plasma blasts until the Night Fury runs out of shots, using the mouse to move Hiccup left and right. If Hiccup is hit by a blast, the player will lose five seconds from the time limit to beat the level. Once Toothless is out of shots, the player must click on the fish basket to the right of the screen to pick up a fish, use the mouse to aim for Toothless' head, and then click to throw the fish at him to feed him. After a few minutes, Toothless will finish recharging and start to fire again, necessitating a click on Hiccup to raise his shield to block the blasts. Once the player has fed Toothless the correct amount of fish within the time limit, they can move on to the next level. If they fail to do so, the game will end.
Gronckle's Bucket Battle[]
In this minigame, the player controls Fishlegs Ingerman. The goal of the minigame is to protect Fishlegs from as many Gronckles as possible. The method of protection differs based on which direction the Gronckle is facing. If the Gronckle faces towards Fishlegs, the player must click the dragon's head to throw a bucket of water on it, preventing it from producing fire. If the Gronckle faces away from Fishlegs, the player must click on Fishlegs himself to raise his shield and block the dragon's tail attack. The player must wait for the Gronckle to stand up before making a click, as it is unclear which end is facing the player until then. Each successful click gives the player an increased amount of points. If an incorrect click is made, the game ends with the Gronckle chasing Fishlegs away, blasting lava balls at him as he runs.
Deadly Nadder's Zone Attack[]
In this minigame, the player controls Astrid Hofferson. The goal of the minigame is to defeat as many Deadly Nadders as possible by staying in their blindspot and dodging their attacks. The player moves the mouse back and forth to keep Astrid beneath the head of the Nadder. As long as Astrid is beneath the dragon's head, the player will score points, which will increase the longer Astrid remains in the blind spot. If she leaves the blind spot, the Nadder will attack her and the player will lose a heart before being allowed to try again. If all three hearts are lost, the game will end. After a few minutes, one of the Nadder's wings will start to flap, telling Astrid which direction she needs to dodge to remain in the blindspot. The player dodges by holding a mouse-click and then dragging the mouse to either side of the screen. If they are unsuccessful, the Nadder will attack Astrid and the player will lose a heart before being allowed to try again. Once the player reaches a certain amount of points, they will be allowed to move on to the next level.
Monstrous Nightmare's Reptile Rodeo[]
In this minigame, the player controls Snotlout Jorgenson. The goal of the minigame is to defeat as many Monstrous Nightmares as possible by holding their jaws shut. The player jumps onto the jaws of the dragon by using the mouse to aim and a click to jump, although the player is only able to jump successfully when the dragon's mouth is closed. Once the player has jumped onto the dragon's head, they have to move the mouse to the left or right in order to counterbalance the swinging head of the Nightmare to avoid falling off. The farther to the side of the screen the mouse moves, the faster a correction is made. If the player fails to do so successfully, they will fall off the dragon and lose a heart before being allowed to try again. Once all three hearts are lost, the game ends. If the player does manage to hold on successfully, the Nightmare will jump up into the air, with the player having to click the mouse to jump off of the dragon's head before it rams back down into the ground. If the player fails to do so successfully, they will fall off the dragon and lose a heart before being allowed to try again. If they are successful, the Nightmare will ram its head into the ground, confusing it and allowing the player to move on to the next level.
Terrible Terror's Gobber Clobber[]
In this minigame, the player controls Gobber the Belch. The goal of the minigame is to defeat as many Terrible Terrors as possible by preventing them from sneaking up on Gobber. This minigame is the only one in the collection that is no longer playable, so little is known about its controls and gameplay mechanics.
Hideous Zippleback's Double Trouble[]
In this minigame, the player controls Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston. The goal of the minigame is to defeat as many Hideous Zipplebacks as possible by distracting them and twisting their necks together. The player clicks the mouse repeatedly and rapidly in order to make loud noises to distract the dragon, before clicking the mouse at a specific time to enter a roll to twist the Zippleback's necks together. If the player clicks too early or too late, the roll will fail and the player will lose a heart before being allowed to try again. If the player loses all three hearts, they lose and the game will end. If the player is successful, they next have to click the mouse to dodge tail attacks from either side. If the player fails to dodge the attacks, they will lose a heart before being allowed to try again. After successfully twisting the dragon's necks together three times, the player is able to move on to the next level.
