Bodacious 8-Ball Station

Bodacious 8-Ball Station is a mission in Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
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 the player has to ink a Splat-Switch which is moving slightly parallel to the rail. Ink the switch to rotate the next rail in the right direction before the 8-ball lands on it. If done right, 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.

The 8-ball is ready to be launch on a rail, and after hitting a "8-ball switch", an uninkable wall with a small Splat-Switch raises which has to be inked fast. 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 Shielded Octotrooper, which they can splat or ignore, and get to the third and 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. Hit the 8-ball onto the pedestal 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!"

Trivia

 * The title's "bodacious" is a 90s slang term meaning "great" and the subtitle is one of the possible results on a Magic 8-Ball.
 * This slang term "bodacious" is shared with another station's title, Bodacious Rotation Station.
 * This station has cassettes, pencils and some sort of electric connectors or switches (hard to see what it is exactly) floating around in the background.
 * Roll Out Station has cassettes and pencils floating around in the background as well.
 * The European Spanish title of this station outright mentions the cassettes.
