Overview

Agent 8 must defeat Octostomp Redux, a harder version ofNeo Octostomp fromLips for Days inSplatoon 2'sOcto Canyon.

Phase 1

Octostomp Redux uses the same attacks as Neo Octostomp does in the second phase of Lips for Days, but gets up from its stomping attacks much faster. Additionally, it launches bubbles like theBubble Blower's from its sides after its armor is destroyed, making it harder to ink.

Phase 2

Octostomp Redux will have two more buckles on its sides, all of which must be destroyed to remove its armor. It can also spit Bubble Blower bubbles and perform two faceplants in succession, trying to fake the player out with the first before following up with the second one.

Phase 3

Octostomp Redux gains two more faces like Neo Octostomp did in its third phase, and the extra buckles are moved to the new faces. All three faces will spit Bubble Blower bubbles followed up by aSplatling volley to burst them, and when it loses its armor, Octostomp Redux will produce even more bubbles when it faceplants.

Etymology

"Drop the Bass" comes fromdrop, a term describing a sudden change in a song's rhythm or bass, typically after a build-up section. This beat drop was popularized by electronic dance music (EDM), which gained popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The subtitle, "Stomp 'til you dromp.", is a reference to the 1990s game showShop 'til You Drop, or the 1979 album that inspired its name,Bop till You Drop byRy Cooder
