'''Rad Ride Station''' is a test in {{S2}}{{'s}} paid downloadable content, {{OE}}. This station is unlocked after clearing either [[Spin Docto Station]] or [[Wack 8-Ball Station]].
__TOC__
{{Clr}}
==Access==
The player must clear either {{OctoExpansionStation|B|03}} [[Spin Docto Station]] or {{OctoExpansionStation|G|09}}{{OctoExpansionStation|B|05}} [[Wack 8-Ball Station]] to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear {{OctoExpansionStation|B|03}}Spin Docto Station.
The player has to play a match of [[Tower Control]] against a team of [[Sanitized Octarian|Sanitized]] [[Octoling (enemy)|Octoling]] and Sanitized [[Octoling (enemy)#Elite Octolings|Elite Octolings]]. Throughout the level, the player encounters Sanitized Octolings using Octarian [[Hero Blaster]]s with [[Autobomb]]s, and other Sanitized Octolings using Octarian [[Hero Brella]]s with [[Burst Bomb]]s, while Sanitized Elite Octolings can use the [[Inkjet]] [[special weapon]] and [[Ink Storm]] special weapon respectively. As the player progresses with the tower, the Sanitized Octolings will Super Jump to or come out of hiding at fixed locations when [[Agent 8]] comes close to such a spot. Like in online games, Octolings may respawn after a while after being splatted but only a limited amount of times. They may Super Jump back into the stage on their own or when they are provoked while in their spawn.
The player gets five minutes to accomplish the objective. There is no limit on how many times [[Agent 8]] can respawn and a [[launchpad]] will appear if the player gets splatted which can be used to [[Super Jump]] back onto the tower.
===Player spawn area===
When the player begins the stage, they land on a spawn point of a replica [[Snapper Canal]]. They can find the tower on the lower area of the spawn and have to climb onto it. There's also an infinite supply of a [[canned special|can]] containing the [[Baller]] special weapon next to the player's spawn point, an Inkrail next to a set of boxes, which leads to the center of the stage, and one down the slope to the right which leads to the right side of the stage.
A Sanitized Octoling with a blaster ready to Super Jump will land on the raised square platform by the river on the player's side of the map. Standing on the other side of the river, she will Super Jump when there is any movement around this or her area, such as shot ink, thrown bombs, or [[Agent 8]] approaching it. She can be forced to Super Jump from as far as the aforementioned Inkrail next to the boxes by shot ink and thrown bombs. She will also Super Jump when the player almost reaches the end of the slope from which the tower moves down. A [[Sprinkler]] also becomes active on a wall of the aforementioned raised square platform when approached, inking the right side of the stage's center, which will hinder the player at a later point if not destroyed. The first checkpoint is reached at the end of the slope where the tower waits for 8 seconds before it continues.
===Checkpoint 1===
The tower crosses the river and when it almost reaches the next checkpoint, a Sanitized Octoling with a brella comes out of hiding from the raised platform in the back of the stage on the enemy's side. She will Super Jump in behind a [[Bumper]] on the left. She can also be forced to Super Jump earlier by taking the right Inkrail from the player's spawn area and shooting ink or throwing a bomb around the area where she is hiding or where she will land. The tower waits for 15 seconds before it continues at the second checkpoint.
===Checkpoint 2===
The tower then follows its track to a left and takes another left, going over the river, to the player's side of the center of the stage where the third checkpoint is located. This makes a Sanitized Octoling with a [[Splat Brella]] Super Jump from her spawn point to the raised area next to the center on the enemy's side of the stage. Quickly thereafter a Sanitized Elite Octoling with a blaster Super Jumps in from her spawn point to the raised area that sticks out of the sloped floor next to the giant column on the player's side of the stage. This Elite Octoling will quickly use the Inkjet special weapon when she is closing in. It takes 10 seconds before the tower continues from checkpoint 3.
===Checkpoint 3===
The tower makes a zig-zag through the center and continues to the enemy's side of the center of the stage, arriving at the fourth checkpoint. This makes a Sanitized Octoling with a Splat Brella come out of hiding and Super Jump onto the tower from the raised platform in the back of the stage on the player's side. There is also a Sprinkler on a wall to the left that becomes active once approached. 10 seconds have to be spent on this checkpoint for the tower to continue.
== Gameplay ==
===Checkpoint 4===
The stage is a [[Tower Control]] match in [[Snapper Canal]] against a team of [[Sanitized Octarian|sanitized]] [[Octolings]]. Like all the Tower Control missions in Octo Expansion, the tower starts from the point next to the player's [[spawn point]] compared to being in the middle in multiplayer battles. The tower follows the same path it has in the mode, where the goal lies next to the opponent's spawn point and the player gets 5 minutes to accomplish the objective. Near the player's spawn lies an infinite supply of a [[can]] containing the [[Baller]] special. There is no limit on how many times Agent 8 can respawn, where a [[launchpad]] will appear if the player gets splatted that [[Super Jump]]s directly onto the tower.
The tower continues to the other side by crossing the river and makes a right to the fifth checkpoint. A Sanitized Octoling with a Splat Brella Super Jumps onto the raised square platform by the river on the enemy's side of the map and quickly thereafter a Sanitized Elite Octoling with a brella Super Jumps onto the elevated area connected to the spawn, standing above the grating. She quickly uses the Inkstorm special weapon. The tower stands still for 15 seconds before continuing.
The sanitized Octolings will Super Jump close to the player and attack them at different points as the player progresses with the tower. There are 6 checkpoints in total.
===Checkpoint 5===
*At checkpoint 1 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Blaster}} appears on the raised square platform by the river on the player's side of the map.
The tower makes a right and crosses the river, arriving at the sixth and final checkpoint. A Sprinkler placed on the wall next to the checkpoint becomes active once approached. Another Sanitized Elite Octoling with a blaster Super Jumps from her spawn to the raised area that sticks out of the sloped floor next to the giant column connecting the enemy's spawn, and quickly uses the Inkjet special weapon. The last checkpoint takes 8 seconds to clear.
*At checkpoint 2 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Brella}} and {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Burst Bomb}} appears behind the bumber on the slope nearby.
*At checkpoint 3 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Brella}} appears close to the center of the map.
===Final checkpoint===
*At checkpoint 3 an Elite Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Blaster}} and {{Weapon|S2|Special|Inkjet}} appears at the slopes from the player's side of the map close the center.
Quickly after continuing from the final checkpoint a Sanitized Octoling with a Blaster will Super Jump onto the tower, making an [[Splash Wall]] be deployed onto the tower. A Sanitized Elite Octoling with a Blaster appears onto the other raised platform by the goal. Reaching the goal with the tower immediately clears the test.
*At checkpoint 4 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Brella}} Super Jumps onto the tower.
*At checkpoint 5 an Elite Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Brella}} and {{Weapon|S2|Special|Ink Storm}} appears on the elevated area connected to the spawn, standing above grating.
==Tips==
*At checkpoint 6 an Elite Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Blaster}} with the {{Weapon|S2|Special|Inkjet}} appears in front of the enemy spawn point.
*Before getting on the tower, players can get the weapon special. It may come in handy in combat.
*At checkpoint 6 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Blaster}} and {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Autobomb}} will Super Jump and deploy a Splash Wall onto the tower.
*When fighting, it is acceptable to get off the tower for a second to splat an enemy.
*At checkpoint 6 an Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Splat Brella}} and {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Burst Bomb}} appears on the raised square platform by the river on the enemy's side of the map.
*At checkpoint 6 an Elite Octoling with the {{Weapon|S2|Main|Blaster}} appears on the other raised platform by the goal.

Player spawn area
When the player begins the stage, they land on a spawn point of a replica Snapper Canal. They can find the tower on the lower area of the spawn and have to climb onto it. There's also an infinite supply of a can containing the Baller special weapon next to the player's spawn point, an Inkrail next to a set of boxes, which leads to the center of the stage, and one down the slope to the right which leads to the right side of the stage.
A Sanitized Octoling with a blaster ready to Super Jump will land on the raised square platform by the river on the player's side of the map. Standing on the other side of the river, she will Super Jump when there is any movement around this or her area, such as shot ink, thrown bombs, or Agent 8 approaching it. She can be forced to Super Jump from as far as the aforementioned Inkrail next to the boxes by shot ink and thrown bombs. She will also Super Jump when the player almost reaches the end of the slope from which the tower moves down. A Sprinkler also becomes active on a wall of the aforementioned raised square platform when approached, inking the right side of the stage's center, which will hinder the player at a later point if not destroyed. The first checkpoint is reached at the end of the slope where the tower waits for 8 seconds before it continues.
Checkpoint 1
The tower crosses the river and when it almost reaches the next checkpoint, a Sanitized Octoling with a brella comes out of hiding from the raised platform in the back of the stage on the enemy's side. She will Super Jump in behind a Bumper on the left. She can also be forced to Super Jump earlier by taking the right Inkrail from the player's spawn area and shooting ink or throwing a bomb around the area where she is hiding or where she will land. The tower waits for 15 seconds before it continues at the second checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2
The tower then follows its track to a left and takes another left, going over the river, to the player's side of the center of the stage where the third checkpoint is located. This makes a Sanitized Octoling with a Splat Brella Super Jump from her spawn point to the raised area next to the center on the enemy's side of the stage. Quickly thereafter a Sanitized Elite Octoling with a blaster Super Jumps in from her spawn point to the raised area that sticks out of the sloped floor next to the giant column on the player's side of the stage. This Elite Octoling will quickly use the Inkjet special weapon when she is closing in. It takes 10 seconds before the tower continues from checkpoint 3.
Checkpoint 3
The tower makes a zig-zag through the center and continues to the enemy's side of the center of the stage, arriving at the fourth checkpoint. This makes a Sanitized Octoling with a Splat Brella come out of hiding and Super Jump onto the tower from the raised platform in the back of the stage on the player's side. There is also a Sprinkler on a wall to the left that becomes active once approached. 10 seconds have to be spent on this checkpoint for the tower to continue.
Checkpoint 4
The tower continues to the other side by crossing the river and makes a right to the fifth checkpoint. A Sanitized Octoling with a Splat Brella Super Jumps onto the raised square platform by the river on the enemy's side of the map and quickly thereafter a Sanitized Elite Octoling with a brella Super Jumps onto the elevated area connected to the spawn, standing above the grating. She quickly uses the Inkstorm special weapon. The tower stands still for 15 seconds before continuing.
Checkpoint 5
The tower makes a right and crosses the river, arriving at the sixth and final checkpoint. A Sprinkler placed on the wall next to the checkpoint becomes active once approached. Another Sanitized Elite Octoling with a blaster Super Jumps from her spawn to the raised area that sticks out of the sloped floor next to the giant column connecting the enemy's spawn, and quickly uses the Inkjet special weapon. The last checkpoint takes 8 seconds to clear.
Final checkpoint
Quickly after continuing from the final checkpoint a Sanitized Octoling with a Blaster will Super Jump onto the tower, making an Splash Wall be deployed onto the tower. A Sanitized Elite Octoling with a Blaster appears onto the other raised platform by the goal. Reaching the goal with the tower immediately clears the test.
