Pop Star Station

Pop Star Station is a mission in the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
When the player enters the station, they will find themselves on a small platform with a Launchpad. Go onto the launchpad and launch Agent 8 to a cross-shaped rotating platform that slowly moves along a track, and reach the first obstacle of the stage; an Octowasher. The player has to avoid it and pop three upcoming balloons, which will raise a gate and let the player enter the second section.

In the second section, the player then has to pop seven more balloons while avoiding another Octowasher to open the gate for the third section.

In the third section, another seven balloons have to be popped for the gate to be lifted and to successfully reach the fourth section while still dodging an Octowasher.

The platform then goes upward while the player has to pop eight balloons, and another two balloons when the platform goes forward again, while also avoiding another Octowasher. The player then can reach the fifth and final section if done correctly and if no balloons are left unpopped.

Pop the last three remaining balloons, and the player will clear this station.

Mem Cake
Completing this test awards the player with the Flow mem cake.
