Overview
The player has one life to destroy crates to match the shape on the left. If an incorrect crate is destroyed, the player will fail the test.
Final checkpoint
After going through the turnstyle, there is one shape made of blocks on the left and a stack of crates on the right. There is a wall to a grated platform on the right for a better vantage point. On the shape, there is a small Splat-Switch on the left ear, flipping a platform to reveal two Power Egg packs in front of the shape and one pack behind the crates. After successfully destroying all the correct crates, a launchpad appears which leads to the goal.
Tips
The player will be able to choose from the Squeezer or the Splat Charger, both with a Splat Bomb. The Squeezer is a quick and efficient way to destroy the crates, while the Splat Charger, sometimes needing a careful hand, can break multiple crates with one shot.

Translation notes
- ↑ This is a reference to the Russian cat food commercial, the slogan of which is "You kitty cat would buy Whiskas".
- ↑ This station name uses a meme word for "cat" corrupted in the same way as a word "dog" can be corrupted into a "doggo".
- ↑ This is a pun, since "encaja" (fits) contains "caja" (crate).
