Checkpoint 1
When the player begins the stage, they find themselves on a narrow platform that slopes down to a grated walkway. When they drop down they land on a rotating platform with a propeller located in front of it. Hitting the propeller moves the platform towards the next area while balloons can be splatted along the way. The player has to avoid a Sanitized Octotrooper and hit the Grapplink to make progress and get to the second checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2
Follow the path with three Power Eggs to another rotating platform with a propeller. The player has to hit the propeller first before they can drop down on the platform and by doing so, Squid Rings appear. The player has to hit two Splat-Switches to open a gate so they can hit another Grapplink and a chance to collect a Power Egg container. Follow the path to a Launchpad to the third and final checkpoint.
Final checkpoint
When the player follows the path and falls down through a grated walkway onto another rotating platform, they have to hit the propeller so the platform follows a certain track with Octotroopers to avoid and balloons for splatting. The player eventually encounters a Sanitized Octosniper on a moving platform they have to splat to open a gate with another Grapplink behind it and get to goal.
