HyperCluster (Japanese: ハイパークラスター) is a line of yo-yos from Bandai introduced during the third Hyper Yo-Yo series in 2011. It was also released internationally in 2018 as its own lineup.
General Overview[]
The yo-yos in the HyperCluster series are customizable, much like the older Hyper Dragon series from the late-1990s, but with a new parts system that is easy to understand. Each yo-yo in the HyperCluster series consists of these major components;
- Body: The yo-yo's body halves, whose shape determines the playing style. Has ports where the components of the Core can be attached by rotating and locking into place via planetary gear system.
- Core: Two components attaching to the Body containing the axle and response system.
- Bearing: The part that sits on the Core's axle to make the yo-yo spin when it is thrown down.
The method for putting together and disassembling a HyperCluster makes for easy customization, and allows users to mix different parts to fit their playing style.

2018 International Version[]
HyperCluster was launched internationally in 2018 with a different approach: None of the yo-yos would be individually named. Instead, a Starter Pack consists of a complete yo-yo set with a "Control" type Core (which has a starburst response and a plastic transaxle) and one of three Skin types: "Speed" (modified shape body), "Stamina" (butterfly shape body), or "Prototype" (rounded body with V-shaped gap). Alternatively, a Skin pack and Core pack can be bought separately, for more customization options. All Skins come in many various skating-inspired graphic prints to choose from.
