Floating Sponge Garden is the fifth mission in Splatoon's single-player mode, Octo Valley. It is named as such because of its heavy use of sponges.

Octo Valley

After the player clears The Mighty Octostomp!, they gain access to Area 2 via an Inkrail. To access this level, walk up into a large crater on the ground and shoot the invisible kettle to enter.

Floating Sponge Garden introduces sponges. Most of the stage's mechanics and difficulty is avoiding enemy ink to keep sponges fully expanded, to avoid falling into pits. The end of the stage features an Ink Cannon to fire at Octocopters and Octotroopers.
