==Gameplay==
==Access==
The main objective is to to go through the level using [[Inkfurler]]s while being targeted by an [[Octosniper]].
The player must clear {{OctoExpansionStation|B|09}} [[Grab & Go Station]], {{OctoExpansionStation|B|11}} [[Tubular 8-Ball Station]], {{OctoExpansionStation|G|03}} [[House Party Station]] or {{OctoExpansionStation|G|05}} [[Bustalicious Station]] to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear Bustalicious Station.
Starting from the first checkpoint there is a path to an [[Inkfurler]] which the player has to shoot and use as a path to the next platform below. The next platform has a [[crate]] containing two [[Power Egg]]s and another Inkfurler which makes a path to another platform below. There's a [[Balloon]] which can be shot for two Power Eggs. The next platform has a [[Grate|grated area]] where the player can shoot the Inkfurler of the next platform from. This platform has a [[Sanitized Octarian|Sanitized]] [[Octotrooper|Octotrooper Bonbon]] stationed on it, a crate containing [[Armor]], another Inkfurler, and the second checkpoint.
===Checkpoint 2===
Hit the Inkfurler to make a path and avoid the Octotrooper Bonbons' shots that are stationed on platforms to the right and left. Hit another Inkfurler and climb up it. There's an optional path that uses the aforementioned platforms with the Octotrooper Bonbons. Two [[Squid Ring]]s appear when choosing this path and the last platform has a crate containing a Power Egg container with 25 eggs. Otherwise the path leads to the third checkpoint.
===Checkpoint 3===
Follow the path to an Inkfurler which goes along a balloon to the left and in between two platforms with cover against Sanitized [[Octocommander]]s and leads directly to one of those [[Octarian]]s. There is a crate with Armor. Below the platforms, there is an area with a [[Gusher]] to go back. Follow the path to the Octocommander on a platform with another raised area with more cover and two Power Eggs to the left. Follow the path to the next Octocommander on a raised area, and the final Octocommander on yet another raised area. Splatting them makes a [[Launchpad]] appear leading to the fourth checkpoint.
===Checkpoint 4===
Climb up the Inkfurler ahead to a small platform with another Inkfurler which leads to a Sanitized [[Shielded Octotrooper]] to the right, Inkfurler to the left, which can easily defeat the shielded Octarian, and an Inkfurler in the distance. Hit the Inkfurler to continue to with a [[Ride rail]] and the fifth checkpoint.
===Checkpoint 5===
Hit and ride the ride rail which goes around three columns with stationed Shielded Octotroopers and platform with nine crates on them, an Inkfurler, and two balloons floating around it. Hit the Inkfurler to jump on it when the ride rail leads back to the fifth checkpoint. The Inkfurler ends on a small platform with a crate containing a Power Egg container. Follow the Inkfurler back to the aforementioned platform with nine crates. Behind the platforms is the sixth and final checkpoint on a raised area to the right.
===Final Checkpoint===
An Inkfurler leads to another Inkfurler attached to a small platform with a crate containing three Power Eggs. Hitting it alerts a Sanitized [[Octosniper]] which will start to shoot. The next Inkfurler leads to another Inkfurler. An Inkfurler attached to a platform below has to be hit to make a path that leads to another Inkfurler that slopes up to another Inkfurler. There is another Inkfurler below that leads to another Inkfurler below that leads to yet another Inkfurler below. This one leads to yet another Inkfurler that leads to a sloped one that ultimately leads to one which has to be climbed up, arriving at the Octosniper's location and the [[Goal]].

The station's title is a play on the phrase "Slip 'n' Slide" and the subtitle is a play on the phrase "For realz".
Ink 'n' Slide Station, under its Japanese name, "Ciretami Yama River Station", was revealed before the Octo Expansion was released.
The Japanese title of this station is a pun on "Kireta misanga" (a broken misanga).
This station has Rock'n Flowers and what looks like marbles floating around in the background of this level. The Rock'n Flowers are a toy made by a Japanese company called Takara in the eighties.
The Dutch title of this station alludes to the Rock'n Flowers and the marbles. "Knikkeren" also means "to play with marbles", supporting the idea that there are marbles floating around.
