Pop Star Station is a test in Splatoon 2's paid downloadable content, the Octo Expansion. This station is unlocked after clearing Slow Ride Station or Stamped-Up Station.

Access

The player must clear either F02 Slow Ride Station or F04C05 Stamped-Up Station to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear F04C05 Stamped-Up Station.

Walkthrough

Overview

When the player enters the station, they will find themselves on a small platform with a Launchpad. Go onto the launchpad and launch Agent 8 to a cross-shaped rotating platform that slowly moves along a track, and reach the first obstacle of the stage; an Octowasher. The player has to avoid it and pop three upcoming balloons, which will raise a gate and let the player enter the second section.

In the second section, the player then has to pop seven more balloons while avoiding another Octowasher to open the gate for the third section.

In the third section, another seven balloons have to be popped for the gate to be lifted and to successfully reach the fourth section while still dodging an Octowasher.

The platform then goes upward while the player has to pop eight balloons, and another two balloons when the platform goes forward again, while also avoiding another Octowasher. The player then can reach the fifth and final section if done correctly and if no balloons are left unpopped.

Pop the last three remaining balloons, and the player will clear this station.

Please pop all 30 target balloons.
If you leave a single balloon unpopped, you'll fail.
For balloons that are hard to spot, rely on the arrows to point the way.
