The crystal form floats on water and is very fragile, but gives Glover double points for each obtained Garib. The ballbearing form gives precise control over the ball, can be used to throw and slap the ball more carefully and is also magnetic. The bowling ball form allows the ball to not break easily, sink in deep water, and kill enemies by slapping it. It can easily be bounced, slapped, thrown, and even float on water. The rubber form gives the greatest amount of abilities for the ball. With a cheat code, the ball can be transformed into a power (high-bounce or super) ball. The ball can also be magically transformed into one of four main ball forms: rubber ball, ballbearing, bowling ball, and the ball's original crystal form. On the easy difficulty, walking on the ball is automatic while moving the ball across water. While walking on the ball, the controls are reversed. Without the ball, Glover can do both regular and double jumps, cartwheel, fist slam, locate the ball and garibs, and grab the ball. When Glover is in contact with the ball, he can roll, bounce, throw, slap, dribble, walk on top of the ball, and use the ball as a trampoline. There are a total of six worlds, each containing three stages, a boss stage and a bonus stage which can be accessed by collecting all the magic cards known as 'Garibs' in a given world.

Once all three stages and the boss stage are cleared, a crystal ball can be restored back to the castle. The main objective is to maneuver the ball toward the goal in each stage. Gameplay The player uses Glover's 'slap' maneuver on the rubber ball in the Nintendo 64 version. A second updated Windows port was released in 2022 and a port for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S is in development. A sequel titled Glover 2 was planned but was eventually cancelled.

The Nintendo 64 and Windows versions received generally positive reviews while the PlayStation version garnered negative reviews. The game follows a magical, four-fingered glove named Glover in his quest to restore the Crystal Kingdom by retrieving crystals that were lost.

Glover is a 1998 platform video game developed by Interactive Studios and published by Hasbro Interactive for the Nintendo 64 and Windows in 1998, and for the PlayStation in 1999 (branded under Hasbro Interactive's Atari Interactive label).
