### Phase 1

When the song starts, a track of rounded circles appears on the top of the screen from right to left. After it reaches the left, another one appears at the bottom in a similar fashion. During the second track, a smaller track will appear in the middle with similar behaviours to the other two, except it starts and stops within the center of the stage. Afterwards, more similar tracks appear, but in this case the circles disappear faster and are randomly spawned vertically. During this, a track similar to the smaller one before is spawned from top to one and a half circles to the bottom. Afterwards, rounded circles appear at the bottom, and one more at the top soon afterwards. A light is then shone from the top of the screen a little to the right of the pile of the circles, and a sword is thrown onto them. The sword then digs into the top square causing The Strike The Earth Boss To Reveal Itself.

### Phase 2

Swords are thrown one by one from the top of the screen. After each one is thrown, another is spawned to the left of it, until they eventually reach the far left of the screen and start the cycle again. During this, stationary rounded circles will spawn to the beat.

### Phase 3

After two cycles of throwing swords, 4 even spaced swords are thrown from the far right of the screen. The rounded circles will still spawn, but long rounded circle tracks are also spawned which go from bottom to top. During this, 4 bunched circles will be thrown from the right, causing the top half of the screen to be hazardous. After that, another attack similar to that will happen on the bottom. Afterwards, the circles and tracks stop spawning, and 8 swords evenly pointing in all directions will spawn one by one at a point in the left portion of the screen, and the same attack afterwards in the right portion.

### Phase 4

This segment is similar to phase 2, but this time tracks are spawned from the far right of the screen that travel to the far left. During the second cycle of swords, the swords are thrown from the bottom.

### Phase 5

After the two cycles of swords, lots of stationary rounded squares are spawned. Following that, 4 even spaced rounded circles with swords appear at the bottom of the screen. After a brief moment, the swords dig into copies of clones of the same exact boss character, with the 8 projectiles spawning. After that, the same attack happens except with 7 smaller exact clones.

### Phase 6

This part is like phase 4, except during the first 2 cycles all the swords come from the top of the screen. After the two cycles, the attack with the 8 swords occur again. Two cycles commence again, with the second one containing swords from the bottom of the screen.

### Segment 7

A line of rounded circles are spawned and move similarly to the rotating lasers in the start of Close To Me. During this, swords are spawned from the left and right sides of the screen. Shortly after the line of circles disappear, and a similar attack occurs, except with circles going in all 4 directions. A period of time after, instead of swords being thrown from the left and right, they are thrown from the top and bottom parts of the screen. After another period of time, the circles disappear and lots of swords are thrown from the left and right sides of the screen. Before entering the final segment, another sword and circle appears at the middle bottom of the stage along with Strike The Earth Boss's none sword hit form and it glides around the top part of the stage.

### Segment 8

Basically segment 2 again, but the level ends with strike the earth boss saying "!" and a big sword falls to the strike the earth boss's death.

* In segments 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 there are lots of tiny circles spawned at the right side of the screen that travel towards the right. In segment 3 they travel from bottom to top.
* All rounded circle tracks, stationary circles, swords, and the light have briefer warnings.
* Swords are faster in speed.
* Tracks past segment 1 are faster.
* The rotating circles in segment 7 are faster.

## Trivia

* This is the first and only level that uses non-alphabetical letters, being an exclamation point.
* Unlike all of the soundtracks featured in *Shovel Knight*, *Strike the Earth!* is the theme of the Plains, which does not feature *Shovel Knight* as a boss (although he is featured as a boss in a different location on a separate campaign instead).
	+ Fittingly enough, this is the first level to be unlocked in *Beatswap*, whereas in *Shovel Knight* is the first stage of the game.
	+ However, La Danse Macabre Is The Next Just Shovels & Knights Beatswap Mashup Boss Level.
	+ This Level Introduces Strike The Earth Boss.
