==Walkthrough==
{{stub|Add table with checkpoints, enemies}}
=== Overview ===
When the player begins the stage, they find themselves on a platform with a small [[Splat-Switch]] and a rotating platform in front of them. When they ink the Splat-Switch, the platform stops rotating and a yellow lock inside a triangle appears in the top of the screen along with beeping noises. After a few seconds, the beeping gets more intense and the sign starts to flash, indicating that the platform will start to rotate soon again. When the player gets to the other side, they see another Splat-Switch and a rotating block which they have to climb with another time limit. Activating the switch and climbing the wall leads to the second checkpoint.
'''Slow Ride Station''' is a mission in [[Octo Expansion]].
The player stands before a shallow path with four swinging blocks and a Splat-Switch above, and they have to activate the switch at the right moment to stop the blocks from moving and make room to cross the path. By doing it correctly, and in time, they end up at the third checkpoint.
== Gameplay ==
Another shallow path leads to nothing but a Splat-Switch and some [[Sanitized Octarian|Sanitized]] [[Octotrooper]]s and a Sanitized [[Twintacle Octotrooper]] in the distance. Hit the switch and the platforms of those Sanitized Octarians move around to extend the path. Splat the Sanitized Octarians that block the path and collect the [[Power Egg]] container at the end, then turn around to find the same Splat-Switch which, upon activating again, puts the platforms in their original position. Follow the path, take out the Sanitized Octarians that block the path, and hit the same switch again to move the platforms to the fourth and final checkpoint.

Four swinging blocks with more Sanitized Octotroopers are used as platforms to reach the other side, but have to be stopped at the right time with a Splat-Switch above. Reach the other side while collecting some [[armor]] and splatting some Sanitized Octarians before the timer runs out. Now the player has to stop the next swinging block with a Splat-Switch attached to it with the right timing and climb it, then, before time runs out, cross the blocks which the player crossed before to get to the [[goal]].
