Brief 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.

Make sure you take a good look at the example shape, OK?

Take extra care when shooting out the little details, Agent 8!
That means there's gotta be something left that you're supposed to shave off...

OK - so you're supposed to shoot out crates on the right until they look like this, huh?
Wait a second, hold on... I've seen this shape before...
Going full auto is probably a terrible idea... Feather that trigger for the win!

Arrrgggh... I just wanna blow this whole thing sky-high!

Trivia

  • The title is a reference to a real-world matchmaker.
  • The subtitle is a reference to Bugs Bunny's catchphrase "What's up, doc?", as well as the fact the example statue looks like a dog. It is also likely to be a reference to the popular joke centered on tricking a target into asking "What's updog?"
    • Despite this, in an interview with Famitsu, the developers confirmed that the statue is modelled after Judd, a cat. This is supported in-game by Pearl saying the shape looks familiar to her.
      • It has also been confirmed that Commander Tartar's creator was also Judd's owner, further supporting this.
  • The finished statue is a reference to the voxel dog featured in Nintendo's Picross 3D.
  • This station has many colored vinyl phonograph records or LP records floating around in the background.
    • The Dutch title of this station, "Wat een plaatje!", alludes to these records.
