Shovel Knight must then dodge hazards and enemies until Pimple reappears. Like Zitz, once Pimple is brought down to half health, he retreats. While on the bike, Shovel Knight's Dig Slashes have halved reach, becoming instead trusting attacks. The second section is based on the Turbo Tunnel stage and sees Shovel Knight on a Speeder Bike. When this is done, three Propeller Rats with scissors will cut the rope and send Shovel Knight plummeting into the next section. After a while, Zitz will reappear, and Shovel Knight must defeat him whilst also dealing with enemies and hazards.

If a scissor wielding Propeller Rat cuts the rope, Shovel Knight will instantly die. When Zitz has been taken down to half health, he will retreat, and Shovel Knight must continue rappelling whilst defeating enemies and dodging hazards. Firstly he must fight Zitz whilst rappelling. If Shovel Knight attacks while in this state, he will perform a cannon ball attack that damages any enemy caught in its path. While rappelling down, Shovel Knight Dig Slashes have a more arching motion, and if Shovel Knight leans on the walls, he will briefly cling on it.

The first section is based upon the Wookie Hole stage and sees Shovel Knight rappelling downward.
