==Gameplay==
==Access==
[[Agent 8]] must reach the end of the stage while avoiding a [[Missile Octocopter]]'s {{Weapon|S2|Special|Tenta Missiles}}. Partway through, Agent 8 can pick up the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Glooga Dualies}} and {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Splat Bomb}}s.
The player must clear either {{OctoExpansionStation|B|14}} [[Breakdance Station]], {{OctoExpansionStation|B|16}} [[Pop Rock Station]] or {{OctoExpansionStation|D|02}} [[One-Shot Station]] to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear {{OctoExpansionStation|B|16}} Pop Rock Station.
The first area has Agent 8 using the Tenta Missiles to destroy a few crates. Once these have been destroyed, they can grab a key to unlock a [[vault]] containing a [[launchpad]].
The second checkpoint has the player using the Tenta Missiles to hit an [[Ink Switch]]. This will move a platform to where Agent 8 is standing. They then have to dodge missiles until the moving platform gets to another, larger area. Here, they use the Missiles to shrink a [[Sponge Block]]. Under this is some grates that the player can fall through where the [[Glooga Dualies]] are found. Then, they can activate a [[ride rail]] to get back to the main area. Agent 8 can get to the next part with some more sponges.
===Overview===
The player must reach the end of the stage without any weapons while avoiding a [[Sanitized Octarian]] [[Missile Octocopter]]'s [[Tenta Missiles]]. Partway through, there will a [[Canned weapon|canned]] [[Glooga Dualies]] [[main weapon]] and a canned [[Splat Bomb]] [[sub weapon]] to pick up.
The third area is a large group of sponges, which make up the floor. The player must be careful not to have the sponges be shrunk by Missiles while they are on them. Here, they can also pick up Splat Bombs. To get to the next section, they have to climb up a lot of sponges. Once again, Agent 8 must be careful not to have the sponges shrink while they are swimming up them.
===Checkpoint 1===
In the first area, a few crates have to be destroyed by a Sanitized Missile Octocopter's Tenta Missiles. Once these have been destroyed, a [[key]] can be collected to unlock a [[vault]] containing a [[launchpad]] which leads to the second checkpoint.
The final section involves moving a large platform with more Ink Switches. Once they get it to the end, they can swim up a wall and get to the area where the Missile Octocopter is. Once this is defeated, a launchpad will appear, leading them to the [[goal]].
===Checkpoint 2===
In the second area, the Tenta Missiles have to hit an [[Ink Switch]]. This will move a platform used to proceed. Then missiles have to be dodged until the moving platform gets to another, larger area. Use the missiles to shrink a [[sponge]]. Under this are some grates that can fall through where the [[Glooga Dualies]] are found. Activate a [[ride rail]] to get back to the main area and get to the next part with some more sponges, climbing them leading to the third checkpoint.
