The stage begins with only 60 seconds to complete it. Once they reach a checkpoint, it will add more time to the clock.
Agent 8 begins the stage by activating the Inkjet. There is a small downwards ramp with an Octomissile launcher at the bottom.
Checkpoint 2 has a small platform with two Octotroopers on it. The platform has an Ink Switch on it which moves a platform, letting Eight proceed forward.
The first part of area 3 is similar to the first; it's a downhill slope, but instead of having Octomissile launchers, there are two Octozeppelin launchers. At the bottom, a Grapplink can be reached, taking the player to a platform with checkpoint 4.
Zone 4 has a platform, which leads to another Grapplink. The platform has two Octotroopers and some Ink Switches nearby. The switches move the platform up.
The final checkpoint consists of Octozeppelins being fired towards 8. They will also have to hit ink switches so that they can move platforms to move forward. Maverick Station ends with a grapplink leading to the goal platform.
