'''Grapplinks''' are a [[mechanic]] in {{S2'}} single-player modes, [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]] and the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'', as well as [[Shifty Station]]. They are black spheres with flashing yellow lights, a propeller and hooks, that float in the air. When hit with ink from a [[main weapon]] or with a [[sub weapon]], the player is quickly pulled towards them and will reach a point just under them before starting to fall down again. Hitting them with the {{weapon|S2|Special|Inkjet}} or {{weapon|S2|Special|Sting Ray}} [[special]]s will also activate them, and any Sting Ray that hits it will end on contact with the Grapplink.
