'''Shovel Knight''' ({{ja|ショべルナイト|Shoberu Naito}}, ''Shovel Knight'') is the protagonist of {{s|wikipedia|Yacht Club Games}}' indie title, ''{{s|wikipedia|Shovel Knight}}''.  He is clad in a blue suit of armor and carries a big blue shovel.


==Origin==
'''Shovel Knight''' ({{ja|ショべルナイト|Shoberu Naito}}, ''Shovel Knight'') is the protagonist of {{s|wikipedia|Yacht Club Games}}' indie title, ''{{s|wikipedia|Shovel Knight}}''.
In the intro to ''Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope'', Shovel Knight is introduced as an adventurer who worked well with his partner, Shield Knight. On one of the pairs' adventures, they ventured into the Tower of Fate, where a cursed amulet unleashed an evil power, causing Shovel Knight to get knocked out. When he awoke, the tower was sealed, and Shield Knight was nowhere to be seen. This caused Shovel Knight to lose his spirit of adventure, and enter a life of solitude. During this time, the Enchantress rose to power, and had a legion of enemies referred to as the Order of No Quarter under her command. The tower became unsealed, and Shovel Knight left his life of solitude to return peace to the world.

==Character description==
Shovel Knight's early days as a knight mostly consisted of him and Shield Knight going on adventures together, and the two seemed to live a happy life. However, that all changed when the two adventured into the Tower of Fate, and a cursed amulet brought forth a terrible magic, knocking Shovel Knight out. When he awoke, the tower was sealed, and Shield Knight had disappeared. This would cause Shovel Knight to go into a deep depression and go into a life of solitude, which, in turn, would cause The Enchantress and The Order of no Quarter to rise. Realizing his job, Shovel Knight would leave his life of solitude and save Shield Knight from the curse.

{{cquote|''Blue armor, horns, and a shovel...that's right, it's Shovel Knight! With his trusty Shovel Blade, he can bury an opponent in the ground or throw rocks as he digs. He may even dig up some food.''|cite=[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/ Super Smash Blog]|source=[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]]}}
Shovel Knight appears as an [[Assist Trophy]]. He digs the ground using his shovel, sometimes pulling up items, and can also dig opponents or fling dirt at them. He also uses his Shovel Drop ability to hop on opponents.
