Template:InfoboxMission/OctoExpansion Bumpin' 8-Ball Station is a test in Splatoon 2's paid downloadable content, the Octo Expansion. This station is unlocked after clearing either Maverick Station, Shrinky Ink Station or Move It Move It Station.

Access

The player must clear either A07 Maverick Station, C02 Shrinky Ink Station or C04 Move It Move It Station to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear Maverick Station.

Checkpoint 1

When the player begins the stage, they find themselves on a platform with a large square platform in front of them and an 8-ball bouncing off a Bounce Pad. Shoot the 8-ball and it bounces off and launches towards the player, which makes an Octotrooper spawn on a Bounce Pad to the right. Guide the 8-ball through this path made of sponges and Bounce Pads to a sloped path with two more Octotroopers. The path eventually transitions into sloped sponges with another two Octotroopers on a wall at the end of the path. It is best to splat these Octarians first as they can shrink the sponges and make the 8-ball fall. Guide the 8-ball to the top to reach the second checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2

Guide the 8-ball through a sloped-down path with Bounce Pads as walls on one side but with no railing on the other side. The path goes to the right, which spawns an Octopod when the player approaches it, while a turn to the left makes two Octotroopers spawn. The floor transitions to a sponge floor again, so splat these Octarians first. The path goes to the left, right, left, and right again with only Bounce Pads acting as walls and sponges acting as the floor. Carefully maneuver the 8-ball through to get to the third and last checkpoint.

Final Checkpoint

Follow the path with three Squid Rings and a Ball Launcher at the end to launch the 8-ball, then use the Launchpad that spawns to launch Agent 8. The player lands in an area with only Bounce Pads as walls and many Octotroopers. While the 8-ball bounces out of control, the player has to splat all the Octarians to open a gate that leads to the goal.

Tips

  • Caution is needed when the 8-ball is on a sponge and there are enemies nearby; the enemy ink may shrink the sponge and cause the 8-ball to fall. This also applies when the player is on in a sponge.

When the player enters a station with multiple weapons available to equip for the first time:

Use A to choose a weapon to use.
Recommended weapons have been given the Kamabo Co. seal of approval.
The reward for passing each test differs based on which weapon is used. Good luck.
You can switch out the weapon you're using by activating the equipper with A.

Advice before starting the mission:

Pay close attention to how the 8-ball moves.
Sponges will absorb the 8-ball's momentum.
To activate checkpoints, approach them with the 8-ball in tow.
You let an 8-ball fall—test failed.

It's bouncing! IT'S BOUNCING!
If pushing the ball doesn't work... push it even more!
This one is all about timing! Awaken your inner eye.
Launchpad located. Get to it, Agent 8!
