Fake Plastic Station

Fake Plastic Station is a stage in the Octo Expansion. It is the first station to be unlocked after Central Station.

Gameplay
When the player begins the stage, they find themselves in a small corridor that leads to an area full of trees and some boxes with Power Eggs and armor in them. A cutscene starts to play that shows a Sanitized Octoling appearing from the ink on top of the pillar in the center of the area when the player approaches it. She uses an Octo Shot and occasionally throws a. Splat her and a gate to the next area opens up, passing the second checkpoint.

The second battle starts off similar to the first one, and consists of an Octoling which using the Hero Roller and another Octoling using the  Hero Brella. They both use Splat Bombs. Splatting them both allows the player to enter the next area and get to the third and last checkpoint.

The third and final battle consists of a single Octoling using the Hero Dualies and Splat Bombs, but starts off by using the  for a while. Splat her and a giant gate opens up and the player can get to the goal.

"Trees?! Man this subway is weird..."

"Octolings are your friends, right? Maybe try talking to them?"

"Egad! Are they really going to attack a fellow Octarian?"

"You might wanna talk a little louder!"

"That gate is open! I guess taking them out was a good idea after all."

"More trouble! Double trouble!"

"Get 'em before they get you! That's the number one rule of the battlefield!"

"Seems like they'd be friendly to you, yet they're attacking... But why?!"

"Well, whatever... The next gate has opened up, so get a move on!"

"They're still comin'!"

"Wha-? Where'd they get one of those?!"

"Don't panic! Hide in the trees, and scope out the lay of the land."

"Phew...you made it through somehow."

"The gate is open! Is this the way out?"

"Octarians hunting Octarians... What has the world come to?!"
