Wassup 8-Ball Station

Wassup 8-Ball Station is a stage in the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
Wassup 8-Ball Station is a station that is based on pushing an 8-ball to the goal. It begins with a downward ramp, followed by two upward ramps. Along the way, Agent 8 must defeat Octotroopers.

Area 2 starts with some beams which carry the ball to the next part. Octotroopers will also shoot at the player. There is then a right turn and a propeller lift, which takes Agent 8 upwards. If they keep going up, though, they will then reach a beam above and can collect a Power Egg pack.

Area 3 begins with a platform tilted upward. Agent 8 has to push the ball up it without it falling off. Then, there is another similar platform, but the ball should fall off in order to get to Area 4.

Area 4 begins with a seesaw, where the 8-ball must be pushed across quickly. There is then an 8-ball switch which activates an elevator. The elevator takes Agent 8 up to a small platforming section, which consists of a few beams and some Octotroopers. At the top is a key.

Area 5 starts right after the key and is followed by a platform taking the player back to the 8-ball switch. The key opens up a Vault containing a Balloon Fish right behind the 8-ball switch. The Balloon Fish can explode, making the 8-ball move extremely quickly, but it will have to be timed well due to a seesaw that can push an 8-ball into the abyss. Right after the seesaw is the 8-ball goal.

Tips

 * Enemy ink can push the 8-ball. It may be useful to splat the enemy first, and then go and bring the 8-ball.
