Line 53:
* Dinoball in ''[[Dinosaur Train]]''.
* The ''[[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]]'' cartoon had the All-Ghoul Games, a team competition with various Netherworld-themed events, like the Troll Vault (similar to a pole vault, but with an angry troll as a hazard to vault over), Freight Lifting (having to out-wrestle a locomotive), the Cookie Toss (swallowing a plate of cookies with the goal of puking them the the longest distance; Beetlejuice wins this one easily), and Sludge Polo (like water polo, but riding inflatable pool horses in a pool full of slime.)
* In ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas!]]'' , the Grinch describes a "noisy game" the Whos play called Zoozittacarzay, which is "a roller-skate type of lacrosse and croquet".
* One episode of ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' (2002 version) opens with Adam and Teela playing a game that resembles volleyball, except that the two players play on multiple levels of hovering cubes suspended in the air.
* The ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' episode "The Winning Edge" features a sport that seems to be a cross between handball and hockey, full-contact, with teams of multiple players trying to knock a flying puck into a slot on the other team's wall. (The jersey is described as a "hockey outfit" in a later episode.) The plot for the episode has Terry investigating the use of performance-enhancing drugs called [[Fantastic Drug| "slappers"]] by one of the teams.
* ''[[Laff-A-Lympics]]'' had nutty events in every episode. Some were cartoon versions of real-life events you'd see in ''Battle of the Network Stars'', but others were unique, like Dragon Racing, where the competitors raced with the giant dragon puppets used in Chinese parades.
