Mem cake

Mem cakes are collectibles in Octo Expansion.

Description
Mem cakes are small items modeled after objects and characters from the world of Splatoon. They are said to be physical manifestations of Agent 8's lost memories, and are obtained as rewards for completing stages. They are categorized by the stations that dwell in the lines:

Line A series (Inklings)
Location: A02 - Far-Out Station At last we meet, my so-called foe.
 * Inkling Squid

But is our fate to spray this hate?

Perhaps we'll learn in depths below... Location: A04 - Roll Out Station With tresses pink and eyes a blank,
 * Inkling Girl (Pink)

A smile so faint, it hides your feint,

You slip on past&mdash;outfoxed! Outflanked! Location: A05 - Fake Plastic Station You paint the turf with graceful strokes.

With watchful eye, I breathe a sigh.

From sniper's perch, I go for broke. Location: A06 - Bounce With Me Station The rolling column splatters all.

As when you use a Splatterscope.

Line B series (Octarians)
Location: B01 / A03 - Wassup 8-Ball Station The world I knew seems like a trap.

They frame your face above a base

Of stumpy leg and pigeon toe. Location: B04 - Rad Ride Station A hilltop picnic, friends and fruit.

I raise a hand in mock salute. Location: B06 - Notorious Station Destroy your troubles&mdash;bombs away!

Like I don't know what you won't show.

Your love is still clear from behind. Location: B11 - Tubular 8-Ball Station So principled you might explode,

Suspended there in starry air

As you drip purple passing by. Location: B14 - Breakdance Station How desolate this star-marked limb.

You'll grow to live a life carefree. Location: C07 - Totally 8-Ball Station Where love could blossom, spite congeals.

And your rad groove was concrete proof

That you made it safe and sound. Location: F03 - Pop Star Station Two friends who never are apart:

And trimmed with stamps unorthodox. Location: H04 - Shooter McStation I've seen this, but I'm not aware

I might exchange them on the range,

Except that they look so delish... Location: I05 / B08 - Righteous Rails Station A mystery rolled up and bound—

I'll dump it in the lost and found. Location: I06 - All Eyez Station Beneath a summer sky I walk,

Through valley, plain, and back again,

Dreaming of what you might unlock. Location: I07 / G07 - Ride with Me Station The rhythm etched in little jolts;

The colors clash and make a splash!

Without a doubt, footwear du jour. Location: J07 - Outrageous Station It keeps the elements away:

No rain, nor heat, nor wind, nor sleet.

But does it guard against ink spray? Location: J08 / F11 - Whack-Fu Station No matter thickness, brim, or gauge,
 * Knitted Hat

A well-done purl will awe the world.

These handmade hats are all the rage!

Trivia

 * Collecting all the Mem cakes of a particular set will net players Gear from Iso Padre to use in multiplayer after clearing Octo Expansion. Collecting them all will get 30,000 C.Q. Points
 * Using the "Ask for Help" option if a test proves too difficult will reward player a Mem cake, but it would be grayed out, the text would be in Marina's ink color, its name would be "Hazy Memory" with Marina's symbol right beside the name, and the poem would be replaced with "Your guess is as good as mine." It would remain this way unless the player clears the test for real.
 * The mem cakes resemble erasers, specifically the kind that are shaped to look like certain things. This could be a reference to the fact that Agent 8's memories have been "erased" (whether or not they were deliberately erased is unknown).
 * All Mem Cake descriptions are written in poems, following the format; A, BB, A.
