==Gameplay==
==Access==
The main objective is to guide an 8-ball along narrow walkways by shooting it with a [[Splattershot Jr.]]. The ball can be moved between areas with special rails.
The player must clear either {{OctoExpansionStation|G|04}}{{OctoExpansionStation|B|10}} [[Ink 'n' Slide Station]] or {{OctoExpansionStation|B|12}} [[Brute Rollup Station]] to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear Ink 'n' Slide Station.
The first section is very simple. [[Agent 8]] must get the 8-ball onto a rail, and rails and ball launchers will get the ball to a [[Shielded Octotrooper]]. After this, a launchpad will appear.
The second area involves a large number of cushions. The player must push the ball to the end without it being pushed off by a few [[Octarian]]s.
===Checkpoint 1===
In the first section, the [[8-Ball]] must fall onto a rail, and rails and 8-Ball launchers will get the ball to a [[Sanitized Octarian|Sanitized]] [[Shielded Octotrooper|Shielded Twintacle Octotrooper]]. After this, a [[launchpad]] will appear.
The third area has two thin platforms with ball bumpers at the end. These should be hit straight on so that the ball does not fly off of the stage. This area will end by the player sending a ball down some 8-ball rails, where it will hit an [[Inkrail]] generator, letting Agent 8 proceed.
===Checkpoint 2===
The second area involves a large number of cushions. The 8-Ball must be pushed to the end without it being pushed off by a few [[Octarian]]s.
Area 4 has the player getting the 8-ball to a ball launcher. They must then use a [[Balloon Fish]] to send it flying to the goal platform. If they are successful, a launchpad will appear, letting Agent 8 push the ball onto the goal.
