Vehicles are different modes of transportation. Upon getting a vehicle, the player is presented with a different control scheme.

In Jetpack Joyride vehicles are provided by gathering Vehicle Pickups, which will give you one of six default vehicles: the Bad As Hog, the Crazy Freaking Teleporter, the Gravity Suit, the Lil' Stomper, Mr. Cuddles or the Profit Bird. In addition to the original six, six more were also made available via micro-transactions in future updates: the Wave Rider, the Sleigh of Awesome, two from the Back to the Future series: the Hoverboard and the iconic DeLorean Time Machine, one from the Ghostbusters series: the Ecto-1, and one from Star Trek: Voyager, the Voyager Shuttlecraft. You can also upgrade your vehicles in 3 ways: coin magnets, gold plating and special skins (except for the Hoverboard, the DeLorean Time Machine, Ecto-1, and Voyager Shuttlecraft, for which it's only possible to buy the coin magnets).

When a vehicle is obtained or destroyed, a wave of energy will explode from the vehicle, turning off all zappers and exploding or disarming all missiles (as well as blowing away any luckless scientists who happen to be standing nearby).

S.A.M.[]

The Strong Arm Machine, or S.A.M. for short, is available once a day via picking up 3 S.A.M. tokens. You can pick up all the S.A.M. tokens in a single run or across three different runs. By using S.A.M. 5 days in a row, you can unlock the special S.A.M. Prizes.

Flash's Vehicles[]

Flasher

If you pick up a vehicle when you have Flash with you, he can join in on the fun by either getting accessories akin to the vehicle pickup (e.g. a little red thruster on his back for the Lil' Stomper) or he'll simply hop in/on the vehicle with Barry.

Magnetization[]

Magnetization gives the upgraded vehicle the ability to use a larger form of the Coin Magnet gadget. This upgrade costs 10,000 coins per vehicle. The vehicle coin magnet radius is much larger than the one Barry has with the Coin Magnet.

Gold Plating[]

The Golden Vehicle upgrade gives your vehicle a golden texture instead of its usual look. The golden texture shines and sparkles while in use. The Golden Vehicle upgrades cost 10,000 coins each.

Special Skins[]

The most expensive vehicle upgrades are special skins. These upgrades, such as the Zombie T-Rex for the Li'l Stomper, are based on other games. Others, such as Magnet Man for the Gravity Suit, are original. These upgrades range in cost from 20,000 to 60,000 coins.

Other special skins can be obtained only during specific events, with some of them being free rewards for collecting event tokens, while others are only available as Paid DLC. See here for a full list of special skins.

Jetpack Joyride 2[]

Vehicles
Big Stomper Galaxy Ship Gravity Suit MK-2

In Jetpack Joyride 2, vehicles are obtained the same way as in the original. All of the vehicles have a health bar on the left which slowly decreases over time, similarly to how vehicles operate in Jetpack Joyride Arcade. Getting hit by an obstacle removes some of its health instead of destroying it. Big Stomper's gameplay resembles the vehicles in the original game, while Galaxy Ship and Gravity Suit MK-2 change the location to the one unique to a vehicle, acting more as minigames. After their duration runs out, the player is taken back to the place where they stopped.

In the sequel, none of the vehicles have magnetization upgrades or special skins but can be upgraded in the Garage for longer duration, more score gained from riding on one, as well as the coin bonuses. To be able to upgrade one, players must reach a specific level in the Experience Road.
