Checkpoint 1

When the player begins the stage, they find themselves on a narrow platform that slopes down to a grated walkway. When they drop down they land on a rotating platform with a propeller located in front of it. Hitting the propeller moves the platform towards the next area while balloons can be splatted along the way. The player has to avoid a Sanitized Octotrooper and hit the Grapplink to make progress and get to the second checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2

Follow the path with three Power Eggs to another rotating platform with a propeller. The player has to hit the propeller first before they can drop down on the platform and by doing so, Squid Rings appear. The player has to hit two Splat-Switches to open a gate so they can hit another Grapplink and a chance to collect a Power Egg container. Follow the path to a launchpad to the third and final checkpoint.

Final checkpoint

When the player follows the path and falls down through a grated walkway onto another rotating platform, they have to hit the propeller so the platform follows a certain track with Octotroopers to avoid and balloons for splatting. The player eventually encounters a Sanitized Octosniper on a moving platform they have to splat to open a gate with another Grapplink behind it and get to goal.

Trivia

Etymology

"Mad Props" is a play on the 1990s slang phrase "to give [mad] props", meaning "to give credit / recognition"; with the possibility that "props" could also be short for "propellers".

The subtitle, "Spin to win!", is a phrase from the TV game show Wheel of Fortune.

Translation notes

  1. A pun on "Poke-beru uchi" (sending a message to a pager).
  2. "Met de muziek mee" was a popular Dutch TV program about music from the 1970s.
  3. Comes from "Propeller" (propeller) and "Büren", a suffix found in certain German city and district names, but it is also a German city on its own.
