Phat Splatz Station is a mission in the Octo Expansion.
Gameplay
The station has the player tasked with defeating a series of sanitized enemies in order to proceed to the next area, ultimately reaching the goal.
The station is split up into three main islands, each with more enemies than the previous area, and a checkpoint at the start.
The first island consists of two Octotroopers, each on two towers, a Shielded Twintacle Octotrooper in the center, and an Octocommander on the top corner. An Inkrail is hidden in a box in the corner, allowing easy access to the Octocommander. Once all enemies are defeated, a launchpad will appear where the Octocommander once stood, bringing the player to the next checkpoint.
The second island is a large square area with four L-shaped walls with dash tracks on their sides that face each other, so the player can get to one or the other quicker that have Octocommanders on two of their corners, while the other corners have Octotroopers. One pair guards a canned Sting Ray, while the other guards a canned Curlin-Bomb Launcher. The middle court-area has a tall cube platform in the middle with an Octosniper and two dash tracks on top to gain access to the outer-walls, while there are two Twintacle Octotroopers and two Deluxe Twintacle Octotroopers below along with a Deluxe Octobomber above. There are also Gushers to reach back up. Once defeating all the enemies, a launchpad will appear where the Octosniper was, bringing the player to the next checkpoint.
The final island is a tall tower with rotating platforms with an Octosniper and two canned Splashdown dispensers on top, while the rotating platforms have two Octocommanders and two Octotroopers. The bottom area has two Octostamps, a Tentakook, two Twintacle Octotroopers and two Octotroopers each guarding Ink Rails that lead back up. Defeating all of them will make three launchpads appear; Two in the bottom area leading to the top, while the other is on top of the tower that leads to the goal.
