Shrinky Ink Station is a mission in the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay

The player has to reach the end of the stage with a limited supply of ink. When the player begins the stage, they find themselves on a small platform ending in a grated walkway, and by falling down, they land onto another platform. At the end of the platform there's a rotating block which the player shouldn't ink to climb it, but rather, they should wait and walk onto the sides of the block to the top to reserve ink. The player reaches a platform with a wall in the center, and an Octotrooper at the end. The player shouldn't attempt to splat the Octarian, but rather, approach it and let it drive off the edge of the platform as it retreats. The player has to ink a rotating Sponge Block to reach the next platform.

To make progress, the player has ink and climb a wall with a Squee-G moving around on it. There's also a Dash Track on the wall and a Power Egg container. Try to use as little ink as possible to reach the Dash Track and land onto the next platform which consist of another four Dash Tracks. If the player times their jump right, they can collect some more Power Eggs by going through two Squid Rings before landing on the next platform.

The next platform ends in five Sponge Blocks and a Balloon Fish in the middle. Ink the Balloon Fish to preserve the most ink as possible and climb the Sponge Blocks while avoiding an Octocopter that's floating around. Avoid the flying Octarian and just like before the player has to jump onto a rotating block and walk to the top instead of inking it. The player can take a risk when on the block and collect a Power Egg container as well as one on a Sponge Block passed the goal. To clear the stage, the player should ink the Balloon Fish instead of the Data Point to reach the goal.
