=== Mechanics ===
{{Clr}}
=== Beginning ===
Jump down and spray the [[Sponge Block]] until it is as large as possible and then swim up it.
There are two [[Octopod]]s so shoot them and spray another sponge, then swim up.
There are two [[Octotrooper]]s behind a wall. Shoot them to reach a checkpoint.
Floating Sponge Garden introduces sponges. Most of the stage's mechanics and difficulty is avoiding enemy ink to keep sponges fully expanded, to avoid falling into pits. The end of the stage features an Ink Cannon to fire at Octocopters and Octotroopers.

=== Checkpoint 1 ===
==Collectibles==
[[File:FSG Checkpoint 1.png|thumb|frameless|300px]]Spray the sponge and swim up to see another sponge to swim up, but this time an [[Octotrooper]] is waiting on a platform above.When it turns around, swim up and shoot it and a box containing [[Power Egg]]s and continue up two more sponges and a Launch pad.
[[File:FSG Checkpoint 2.png|thumb|left|300px]] Jump down and spray the ramp for some more Power Eggs and swim through the fence to see two [[Octoball]]s. Simply spray the ground in front of them so they are stuck and shoot them while they're in your own paint to kill them. Swim up another sponge and shoot a vertical wall with more Power Eggs, swimming up it to progress.
{{Clr}}
=== Checkpoint 3 ===
[[File:FSG Checkpoint 3.png|right|thumb|300px]] There are three sponges in a line, and then three more Octoballs. Use the same method as before to dispose of them. Shoot down a [[balloon]] with more Eggs and use the [[Launchpad]] that will only appear after all three Octoballs are gone.

=== Checkpoint 4 ===

[[File:FSG Checkpoint 4.png|left|thumb|300px]] Either dispose of the two Octopods or quickly swim up the sponge before they can blow it up. There is another inkable vertical wall that is being guarded by two more Octotroopers. Either shoot them first or shoot the wall and go past them to reach another (jump pad?).
{{Clr}}
=== Checkpoint 5 ===
[[File:FSG Checkpoint 5.png|right|thumb|300px]] There are 6 sponges in front of you and 3 [[Octocopter]]s. You're gonna want to spray each Sponge Block and once you get to the second row of two sponges one of the Octocopters will take notice of you and come closer. Shoot it as soon as possible and by then the other two must've noticed and take them out as well. When you reach the third row with three Sponge Blocks, there are two walls with an Octotrooper strolling behind them. Spray an area where it isn't looking at, jump over, and take it out. Shoot and swim up the ramp with more eggs.
=== Final Checkpoint ===
[[File:FSG Final Checkpoint.png|left|thumb|300px]]There is an [[Ink Cannon]] to swim into and five Sponge Blocks are visible, four of which have Octotroopers on them and two Octocopters.[[File:FSG Zapfish.png|right|frameless|300px]]Just shoot at your heart's content and once all enemies are gone and each block is large enough, spray the floor beneath you near one of the blocks and swim jump onto the block and each remaining block until you've reached your [[Zapfish]].
