Bodacious 8-Ball Station

Bodacious 8-Ball Station is a test in paid downloadable content, the Octo Expansion. This station is unlocked after clearing either Right Round Station or McFly Station.

Access
The player must clear either Right Round Station or  McFly Station to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear Right Round Station.

Brief overview
The player must navigate several platforms with the 8-Ball to reach the goal.

Checkpoint 1
When the player begins this stage, they find themselves on a platform looking at the 8-Ball on a rail and a platform below. Shooting the 8-Ball causes it to roll along the rail and activate an 8-Ball Switch. This causes a Splat-Switch to move along the platform below which has to be inked to make the next rail rotate in the right direction. If done in time, the 8-Ball rolls through five Squid Rings before landing on a platform below. The player can use a Ride rail to get it, and to the second checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2
The 8-Ball has to move onto a rail. After hitting an 8-Ball Switch, an uninkable wall with a small Splat-Switch raises, which has to be inked quickly. After the 8-Ball has been launched on top of another platform, an inkable wall raises which allows the player to get to the same platform. Before reaching it, the player encounters a Sanitized Shielded Octotrooper, which they can splat or ignore, and gets to the third and final checkpoint.

Final Checkpoint
The player has to hit the 8-Ball onto a rail and immediately get on a nearby ride rail to ink a Splat-Switch on their way. Many Squid Rings are collected by the 8-Ball while Agent 8 jumps on a narrow but long platform with another Shielded Octotrooper blocking a Splat-Switch. Take care of the Octarian and hit the switch before the 8-Ball rolls off the rail. If done correctly, both the 8-Ball and the player can collect three Squid Rings each before landing on the last platform with the goal. Push the 8-Ball onto the goal, and the player clears this station.

"Whaaa?! Get after that switch and ink it!"

"There's a switch—ink it!"

"Pushing the ball yourself should allow you to move it along more carefully!"

"OK, Agent 8—that switch is next!"

"Woo—nice going!"
