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 launching the 8-ball onto another platform, an inkable wall raises, allowing 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. The 8-ball collects many Squid Ring 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.

During the mission:

Cap'n Cuttlefish

Whaaa?! Get after that switch and ink it!

Pearl

Whoa—the rail is moving!

Marina

You're through the first bit!

Cap'n Cuttlefish

There's a switch—ink it!

Pearl

Through the second bit!

Cap'n Cuttlefish

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

Cap'n Cuttlefish

OK, Agent 8—that switch is next!

Marina

There's a switch behind that bad guy too!

Cap'n Cuttlefish

Woo—nice going!

Pearl

Woo-hoo! Wait...what about the ball?
