- Croquet was an Earth game involving the whacking of ceramic balls with a wooden mallet readily about the place on a grassy lawn. The Q Continuum also play this game. (New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "Beyond Horizons")
- Croquet, known as Mr. Crocketts in Japanese version, is the right-hand man and butler of Maximillion Pegasus. His duties includes relaying the progress of Pegasus' plans, often unknowingly stating the obvious to his boss (who, with the use of the Millennium Eye and keen intuition, usually predicts the outcome of a situation he's involved with before Croquet can inform him of it). At one point in the English anime translation, Pegasus punishes Croquet for his multiple failures by threatening to "lock him away... again".
- Croquet, like opera, is a pastime enjoyed only by the obscenely wealthy and/or old. It has come to be associated with long wooden mallets that must weigh from two to four pounds, or from 512 to 1,024 drams, or from 14,000 to 28,000 grains, or even from 5.088932955e+26 to 1.017786591e+27 gigaelectronvolts. Also notable are the two wooden balls (traditionally) or the two non-wooden balls (see Neo-Croquet). Wooden balls have been known to break down easily during heated games of croquet, and so having particularly sturdy balls has become increasingly important as players have begun to use steroids and battery powered croquet-mallets.
