Grapplink
Grapplinks are a mechanic in Template:S2' single-player modes, 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 sub weapon, the player is quickly pulled towards them and reach a point just under them before starting to fall down again. Hitting them with the Inkjet or Sting Ray special weapons also activates them, though any Sting Ray that hits it ends on contact with the Grapplink.
