Checkpoint 1

In the first section, the 8-ball must fall onto a rail, and then rails and 8-ball launchers will get the ball to a Sanitized Shielded Twintacle Octotrooper. After this, a launchpad will appear.

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 Sanitized Octarians.

Checkpoint 3

The third area has two thin platforms with 8-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 sending the 8-ball down some 8-ball rails, where it will hit an Inkrail generator.

Final checkpoint

In the fourth area, the 8-ball must fall into an 8-ball launcher. Then a Balloon Fish must be used to send it flying to the goal platform. If successful, a launchpad will appear, and the 8-ball can be pushed onto the goal.
