Walk forwards and spray [[ink]] on the ground in front of you and on the edge of the next platform with the {{Button|ZR}} button. If possible, splat the [[Octopod]] from a distance before it can hurt you. Dash Jump onto the circular platform and spray the red, circular knob which will erupt into a [[Gusher]]. Swim into this flowing pillar of ink with {{Button|ZL}} and rise to its surface. Jump forward into the long, grassy platform and take out the two Octopods waiting to greet you. Collect the [[Power Egg]]s and continue to the next [[spawn point|checkpoint]].
Walk forward and activate the [[launchpad]] with {{Button|ZL}}. You will land on top of a pillar in the center of a triangular platform and immediately be assaulted by two [[Twintacle Octotrooper]]s and an [[Octotrooper]]. Jump off of the pillar quickly and activate the nearest Gusher. Rise to the top of it, and take out the surrounding Octotroopers from this vantage point. Maneuver around the platform, using the three Gushers to destroy the [[Octarian]] enemies and the [[crate]]s they are perched on. Make sure to collect the Power Egg hidden in each [[balloon]] above the Gushers as well.
After defeating the three Octarians, activate the nearest Gusher, rise to its surface, and jump onto the central pillar to reach the newly-activated launchpad.
Walk forward and destroy the four crates in front of the next ledge. An [[Octostamp]] will immediately jump down onto the platform you are standing on, so move out of the way and spray ink at its back while it momentarily struggles face-down. Spray ink on the wall and swim up it to reach the next area.
As soon as you arrive on the higher platform, two Octostamps will assault you from ledges. Closely watch their shadows so you can avoid their deadly impact. Take them out by spraying ink on their backs. Move forward, spray ink on the ramp, and swim up it.

Activate the Gusher immediately in front of you. Rise to its surface and spray ink at the two [[Octocopter]]s, one to the left of you and one to the right. Alternatively, you might activate the Gushers under them to take them out in one splat. Similarly, you could also activate the two Gushers underneath the two [[Shielded Octotrooper|Shielded]] [[Twintacle Octotrooper]]s. Once they have been defeated, Dash Jump onto the platform beneath them, swim up one of the Gushers, and activate the [[Inkrail]] on the next platform. Travel along it until you reach the next checkpoint.
Move forward along the platform until you drop off into the playing field below. This area is littered with unactivated Gushers and guarded by five Twintacle Octotroopers which will immediately begin chasing you. Activate the Gauntlets and travel up and down them to avoid Octarian fire, spraying ink at them along the way. Once you have defeated the last Twintacle Octotrooper, ink a path up one of the curved walls and swim up it to reach the next launchpad.
===Final Checkpoint===

Walk forward and activate the first Gusher you encounter. Travel up this Gusher to the [[grate|net]] platform above. Make sure you do not use squid form while on one of these nets as you will fall through to the platform below.
Optionally, you could turn right and take out the two Octopods guarding the Gusher. Activate this Gusher and travel up it, defeating the Octarian enemies at the top and destroying the few crates to collect some Power Eggs. Turn into a squid on this net platform to fall through to the platform below. Walk back to the Gusher you initially used and choose the left path this time. Splat the two Octopods near that Gusher, activate it, and ride it to the top.
As the name suggests, Gusher Gauntlet features many Gushers to use for navigation, offensive tactics, and defensive tactics. The first areas use Gushers for platforming challenges, before turning to defensive tools in the third and fourth areas. The final area uses Gushers to ambush enemies while climbing a tall tower to get to the Zapfish.
Turn left, destroy the Octotrooper patrolling this Gusher, activate it, and ride it to its surface. Quickly take out the Twintacle Octotrooper at the top and destroy the crate below it to reveal this mission's [[Sunken Scroll]]. Use squid form to fall through this net platform, returning to the one below, and travel to the opposite area. Destroy the Octotrooper guarding it, activate the Gusher, and travel to its surface. Ink the [[Zapfish]]'s shield until it bursts, and then walk up to the Zapfish to collect it and complete the mission.
