Rad Ride Station

Rad Ride Station is a mission in the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
The stage is a Tower Control match taking place in Snapper Canal against a team of Sanitized Octolings. Like the Sweet Ride Station, the Tower starts from the point next to the player's spawn point compared to being in the middle in multiplayer battles. The Tower follows the same path it does in multiplayer, where the goal lies next to the opponent's spawn point and the player gets five minutes to accomplish the objective. Near the player's spawn lies an infinite supply of a can containing the Baller. There is no limit on how many times Agent 8 can respawn, where a launchpad will appear if the player gets splatted that Super Jumps directly onto the Tower.

The sanitized Octolings will Super Jump close to the player and attack them at different points as the player progresses with the Tower. There are six checkpoints in total.


 * At checkpoint 1, an Octoling with the Blaster appears on the raised square platform by the river on the player's side of the map.
 * At checkpoint 2, an Octoling with the Splat Brella and Burst Bombs appears behind the bumper on the slope nearby.
 * At checkpoint 3, an Octoling with the Splat Brella appears close to the center of the map.
 * At checkpoint 3, an Elite Octoling with the Blaster and Inkjet appears at the slopes from the player's side of the map close the center.
 * At checkpoint 4, an Octoling with the Splat Brella Super Jumps onto the Tower.
 * At checkpoint 5, an Elite Octoling with the Splat Brella and Ink Storm appears on the elevated area connected to the spawn, standing above the grating.
 * At checkpoint 6, an Elite Octoling with the Blaster with the Inkjet appears in front of the enemy spawn point.
 * At checkpoint 6, an Octoling with the Blaster and Autobombs will Super Jump and deploy a Splash Wall onto the Tower.
 * At checkpoint 6, an Octoling with the Splat Brella and Burst Bombs appears on the raised square platform by the river on the enemy's side of the map.
 * At checkpoint 6, an Elite Octoling with the Blaster appears on the other raised platform by the goal.

Tips

 * Before getting on the tower, players can get the weapon special. It'll come in handy in combat.
 * When fighting, it's okay to get off the tower for a second to splat an enemy.
