Stick 'n' Move Station is a test in Splatoon 2's paid downloadable content, Octo Expansion. This station is unlocked after clearing Smash & Dash Station, Footloose Station, or Ink & Watch Station.

Walkthrough
Overview
The player must ride a number of ride rails while shooting Ink Switches to avoid numerous Ink Pistons. To change the position of the Ink Pistons, one must shoot the Ink Switches. Depending on what section of the level a player is on, the Ink Pistons move in two ways, rotation and position. The first ride rail goes through multiple Ink Pistons that rotate out of the way when the assigned Ink Switch is shot. The second set of ride rails goes through sets of Ink Pistons that move apart from one another when the assigned Ink Switches are shot, and momentarily come back together when an Ink Switch is no longer being shot. The final ride rail wraps around a large mass of Ink Pistons that point outward toward the ride rail. The Ink Pistons rotate on the z axis, always making contact with the ride rail as it spins. One must stay clear of the Pistons by shooting the switches on the frame of the Pistons as the player circles the mass on a grind rail.
Tips
During the final checkpoint, it is recommended to fire at the Ink Switch just before making contact with the Ink Pistons, and to only fire once, because the Ink Switch causes the Ink Pistons to rotate roughly 45 degrees each time it is shot. This can be quite difficult, due to the Dualie Squelchers being a fully automatically firing weapon.

Etymology
"Stick 'n' Move" is a reference to the 1979 film Rocky II, where boxing coach Tony Evers tells his disciple Apollo Creed to "stick and move" (meaning to punch and retreat quickly) in his fight against the eponymous character.
The subtitle, "Float like a butterflyfish...", is a reference to Muhammad Ali's famous line about his boxing style, that he would "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".
