The Hyper Form (ハイパーフォーム, Haipā Fōmu) is the final form that can be accessed in Masked Rider System. It is activated in Rider Form via special Zecter called Hyper Zecter. In this form Rider can use Hyper Clock-Up, which gives him abilities of moving faster than normal Clock-Up or even altering time and going to another dimensions.
By now this form was only used by two main Riders of the series - Kabuto and Gatack, but the latter used it only in a Hyper Battle DVD. It is presumed that the other Riders can also transform into their Hyper Forms, especially Dark Kabuto, who was the test subject for Hyper Zecter.
In the movie Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love there was another Rider using a Hyper Zecter (Kamen Rider Caucasus). He actually never used his Hyper Form, however, he was able to use Hyper Clock-Up System in his Rider Form. It can be presumed, that the Riders without Masked Form can utilize Hyper Zecter powers without changing into Hyper Form.

Kabuto is the only Rider in Kabuto (with the exception of Gatack in the Hyper Battle DVD with the aid of another Hyper Zecter from the future) that can achieve Hyper Form, an even stronger version of Rider Form. While Kamen Rider Caucasus used the Hyper Zecter, he was unable to access a Hyper Form. Accessed through the Hyper Zecter (ハイパーゼクター, Haipā Zekutā), a futuristic Zecter made by ZECT and predestined to be used by Tendo, it initiates the Hyper Cast Off (ハイパーキャストオフ, Haipā Kyasuto Ofu) command, unleashing its full power. It also has access to Hyper Clock Up (ハイパークロックアップ, Haipā Kurokku Appu), a version of Clock Up, able to even time travel due to its faster-than-light speed properties.
The maximum range of this is currently unknown, but its shown to be able to travel back at least seven years. Kabuto is also able to take objects back in time along with him, (the most impressive example being a huge meteor in the movie). His finisher is the flying Hyper Kick (ハイパーキック, Haipā Kikku). Even though the original Hyper Zecter from the present was destroyed by ZECT to prevent Tendo from obtaining it, another from the future appeared to replace it. He is also equipped with a jetpack-like device on his back, allowing Kabuto flight capabilities, though usually it's only used to gain height for the Hyper Kick. But his alternate self from God Speed Love, used this device to fly through space, even pushing a meteor far larger than himself.

Gatack's Hyper Form was only seen in the Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Battle DVD Birth of Hyper Gatack. This form is capable of performing Hyper Clock Up to move at a greater speed than the regular Clock Up that even races through time and also allows Hyper Gatack to perform the Hyper Kick attack when his Rider Power is brought to the maximum, same as Kabuto's Hyper Form.
The only differences between his Rider and Hyper Forms in looks, is a bigger chestplate and larger Stag Beetle Horns on his helmet. When he activates Hyper Clock Up, his chestplate color turns from red to yellow.
Hyper Gatack also appears in the Kamen Rider Kabuto PS2 video game.
Notes[]
- Hyper would later be the name of the Final Form of Kamen Rider Beast, the secondary Rider of Kamen Rider Wizard.
