An 8-Ball.

The 8-Ball is a mechanic in the Octo Expansion.

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 will 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, much like the Splat-Switch. Similarly, an 8-ball goal is like an 8-ball switch. When the 8-ball is pushed into the 8-ball goal, it circles around the 8-ball goal rim, and then goes in, ending the level.

An 8-ball switch

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 as mini-games:

• A03 B01 Wassup 8-Ball Station
• A08 C03 Bumpin' 8-Ball Station
• B11 Tubular 8-Ball Station
• C07 Totally 8-Ball Station
• C09 Bodacious 8-Ball Station
• D05 All That 8-Ball Station
• E04 Heinous 8-Ball Station
• E06 Swass 8-Ball Station
• G09 Wack 8-Ball Station

Unreleased Ranked Mode

Datamining revealed that an 8-Ball Ranked mode was in development. A mode where there is an Eight-Ball at the center of the stage and the players must guide it to the other team's goal.

Trivia

• The 8 Ball station subtitles are references to the sayings on Magic 8 Balls.
