Checkpoint 1

Starting from the first checkpoint there is a path to an Inkfurler which the player has to shoot and use as a path to the next platform below. The next platform has a crate containing two Power Eggs and another Inkfurler which makes a path to another platform below. There's a Balloon which can be shot for two Power Eggs. The next platform has a grated area where the player can shoot the Inkfurler of the next platform from. This platform has a Sanitized Blobby Octotrooper stationed on it, a crate containing Armor, another Inkfurler, and the second checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2

Hit the Inkfurler to make a path and avoid the Blobby Octotroopers' shots that are stationed on platforms to the right and left. Hit another Inkfurler and climb up it. There's an optional path that uses the aforementioned platforms with the Blobby Octotroopers. Two Squid Rings appear when choosing this path and the last platform has a crate containing a Power Egg container with 25 eggs. Otherwise the path leads to the third checkpoint.

Checkpoint 3

Follow the path to an Inkfurler which goes along a balloon to the left and in between two platforms with cover against Sanitized Octocommanders and leads directly to one of those Octarians. There is a crate with Armor. Below the platforms, there is an area with a Gusher to go back. Follow the path to the Octocommander on a platform with another raised area with more cover and two Power Eggs to the left. Follow the path to the next Octocommander on a raised area, and the final Octocommander on yet another raised area. Splatting them makes a Launchpad appear leading to the fourth checkpoint.

Checkpoint 4

Climb up the Inkfurler ahead to a small platform with another Inkfurler which leads to a Sanitized Shielded Octotrooper to the right, Inkfurler to the left, which can easily defeat the shielded Octarian, and an Inkfurler in the distance. Hit the Inkfurler to continue to with a Ride rail and the fifth checkpoint.

Checkpoint 5

Hit and ride the ride rail which goes around three columns with stationed Shielded Octotroopers and platform with nine crates on them, an Inkfurler, and two balloons floating around it. Hit the Inkfurler to jump on it when the ride rail leads back to the fifth checkpoint. The Inkfurler ends on a small platform with a crate containing a Power Egg container. Follow the Inkfurler back to the aforementioned platform with nine crates. Behind the platforms is the sixth and final checkpoint on a raised area to the right.

Final Checkpoint

An Inkfurler leads to another Inkfurler attached to a small platform with a crate containing three Power Eggs. Hitting it alerts a Sanitized Octosniper which will start to shoot. The next Inkfurler leads to another Inkfurler. An Inkfurler attached to a platform below has to be hit to make a path that leads to another Inkfurler that slopes up to another Inkfurler. There is another Inkfurler below that leads to another Inkfurler below that leads to yet another Inkfurler below. This one leads to yet another Inkfurler that leads to a sloped one that ultimately leads to one which has to be climbed up, arriving at the Octosniper's location and the Goal.

C.Q. Cumber's Quotes

You'll need to use the Inkfurlers in this area to create a path through the air.
Once they're unfurled, shoot the end to keep 'em that way.
And keep in mind that Inkfurlers will roll back up if they're hit by enemy ink.

  • The Japanese title of this station is a pun on "Kireta misanga" (a broken misanga).

Translation notes

  1. a pun on "Kireta misanga" (a broken misanga).
  2. Comes from "betoeterd zijn", a Dutch expression meaning "to be out of [your] mind". "Betoeterd" is a pun on "inkttoeter" (Inkfurler).
  3. Comes from "de bloemetjes buiten zetten", a Dutch expression meaning "to go out/to party", and "knikkeren" (to chuck out).
  4. Comes from "Band" (tape) which comes from "Schnalzbänder" (Inkfurler), and "-reuth", a suffix found in certain German city and district names.
  5. The pun is based on the words подорожник podorozhnik (plantain) and дорожка dorozhka (track, the Russian name of Inkfurler) having the same root.
