Mechanics
Beginning
Starting off mission 23, there is an ink balloon, which can wet the 4 Sponges, getting Agent 3 to another Checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2
There are 2 octostamps to fight off. They're standing in Sponges, so if they do attack, they'll shrink the Sponge. Splat both of the Octostamps to reveal a Launchpad.
Checkpoint 3
An Octotrooper guards a platform which to get across, Agent 3 has to go through 2 sponges. If the Octotrooper starts shooting, the Sponge will shrink. Be careful of staying up on the sponges to get across. Throw a Splat Bomb to the Octotrooperand it'll stop bothering Agent 3 from getting across.
Checkpoint 4
After Wetting the 2 Sponger to get to the next platform, Agent 3's is going to have to get across a Sponge ally, guarded by 5 Octotroopers. There is an Inkzooka to help get across easier. Not using the Inkzooka can be challenging, due to enemy ink Shrinking a wet sponge. If chosen to not use the Inkzooka, take out the Octotroopers to make it easier, but be cautious they can shoot it at a high fire rate, making a wet sponge shrink faster.
