Description

The 8-Ball is a plastic sphere, made to look like an eight billiard ball. It is a black ball with round pink neon on one side and the number eight marked on it. If a player makes the 8-Ball fall, then they fail the test and have to restart from the last checkpoint.

Usage

The 8-Ball is guided through shooting it with ink. It slows down faster on surfaces that are more rigid, such as a Sponge Block. There are switches that can be activated by pushing the 8-Ball into it, which are called 8-Ball Switches, similar to Splat-Switches. An 8-Ball goal is like an 8-Ball Switch, except when it is activated, the level is cleared.

The 8-balls are used in several stations in the Octo Expansion. Most of them are to guide the 8-Ball to the goal while the others are mini-games:

Unreleased ranked mode

Datamining revealed that an 8-Ball Ranked Battle mode was in development. This mode would have included an 8-Ball at the center of the stage and the players would have had to guide it to the other team's goal.
