Overview
The player must reach the goal with a limited supply of ink. Running out of ink immediately fails the test. Since this test uses only one checkpoint, which is located at the beginning, running out of ink means the player has to begin the test from the start.
Platform 1
When the player begins the test, they find themselves on a small platform ending in a grated walkway, and by falling down, they land onto another platform. At the end of the platform, there is a rotating block which the player should not ink; rather, they should wait and walk onto the sides of the block to the top to reserve ink.
Platform 2
The player reaches a platform with a wall in the center and a Sanitized Octotrooper at the end. The player should not attempt to splat the Octarian, but rather, approach it and let it drive off the edge of the platform as it retreats. The player has to ink a rotating sponge to reach the next platform.
Platform 3
To make progress, the player has to ink and climb a wall with a Squee-G moving around on it. There is also a dash track on the wall and a Power Egg container. Try to use as little ink as possible to reach the dash track and land onto the next platform which consists of another four dash tracks. If the player times their jump right, they can collect some more Power Eggs by going through two Squid Rings before landing on the next platform.
Platform 4
The next platform ends in five sponges and a Balloon Fish in the middle. Ink the Balloon Fish to preserve the most ink as possible and climb the sponges while avoiding a Sanitized Octocopter that is floating around. Avoid the Octocopter and, just like before, the player has to jump onto a rotating block and walk to the top instead of inking it. The player can take a risk when on the block and collect a Power Egg container as well as one on a sponge past the goal.
Final Platform
To pass the test, the player should ink the Balloon Fish instead of the Data Point to reach the goal.
