The routine takes place in a level in a platformer video game. The routine has four different backgrounds. The background starts inside at an underground level. As the tempo speeds up, the level takes place on a grassland level, and pixelated coins can be seen floating in the sky. Halfway into the routine, the dancer rides on a skateboard, then the background changes into a cloud level in which the camera pans up vertically. The skateboard then disappears into a cloud, where then there are cloud platforms.
As the track changes to Ode to Joy, the dancer is seen hopping vertically through cloud platforms.
As the track changes back to In Hall of the Mountain King, with a faster tempo, the background changes into a level that's completely made out of ice. In the end, a treasure chest is seen along side the dancer, meaning that the dancer won the "game".
Throughout the routine, various stuff like the already mentioned coins, enemies, and obstacles appear.
