Overview

During this station's test, the player must break all 20 crates on Sanitized Octowashers within 1 minute in order to pass it. They will do this primarily while riding on ride rails. Since this test uses only one checkpoint, which is located at the beginning, failing the test means the player has to begin the test from the start.

Beginning ride rail

On the platform with the checkpoint, there is a ride rail that leads to an area with Bounce Pads and a series of looping ride rails with Octowashers carrying crates. At the end of this ride rail, there is a stationary Octowasher carrying a crate.

Outer bottom ride rail

This ride rail can be jumped to from the beginning ride rail. There are two Octowashers carrying one large crate each, traveling clockwise on this rail.

Inner bottom ride rail

This ride rail can be jumped to from the southern side of the outer bottom ride rail. It slopes up on the eastern and western sides, leading to the inner top ride rail. There are four Octowashers carrying one crate each, traveling anti-clockwise on this rail.

Central bottom ride rail

This ride rail can be jumped to from the southern side of the inner bottom ride rail. There are four Octowashers carrying one crate each, traveling clockwise on this rail.

Inner top ride rail

This ride rail can be jumped to from the northern side of the inner bottom ride rail. It slopes up on the eastern and western sides, leading to the central top ride rail. There are two Octowashers carrying one crate each, traveling clockwise on the rail.

Central top ride rail

This ride rail can be jumped to from the southern side of the inner top ride rail. It loops around two crates on the sides and one large orange crate in the center. There are two Octowashers carrying two crates each, traveling clockwise on the rail.

Tips

If the player is on the same rail as one or more Octowashers carrying crates, jump repeatably will allow the player to stall enough time for said crates to enter the range of the player's weapon. Be wary though, as jumping near the curve of a rail may lead to the player falling off, requiring them to climb back up in order to get a chance at destroying the crates.

C.Q. Cumber's Quotes

You must destroy all 20 target crates before time runs out.
The timer will start as soon as you hop onto the ride rail.
Once you're on the ride rail, fire away.
When the rails are parallel, you can jump to switch rails.
You ran out of time—test failed.
