===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.
 
===Checkpoint 1===
In the first area, a few crates will 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.
 
===Checkpoint 2===
In the second area, the Tenta Missiles will 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.
 
===Checkpoint 3===
In the third area, there are a large group of sponges, which make up the floor. Climb up the sponges to get to the fourth and final checkpoint
 
===Final checkpoint===
The final section involves moving a large platform with more Ink Switches. In the end, a wall can be swum up and leads to the area where the Missile Octocopter is. Once it is defeated, a launchpad will appear, leading to the [[goal]].

Translation notes

  1. A pun on "Ko-akuma kei" ((a girl) like a sweet devil).
  2. "Kuubje" is diminutive of "kuub" and synonymous to "kubieke meter" (cubic meter). This also imitates a Dutch cliché of butchers used when a customer's weighed order resulted in an inconvenient amount of money for the customer to pay and/or for the butcher to give as change. "Kuub" may also be alluding to the GameCubes in the background of the level.
  3. Comes from "Rakete" (missile) and "Wege" (way/roads), but the latter most likely refers to the suffix found in certain German city or district names, since that has been the theming for many station titles.
  4. Comes from гамокуб gamokub (a slang word for GameCube).
  5. 5.0 5.1 A reference to the song Devuélveme a mi chica by Hombres G.
