| ==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. |

| *Shovel Knight is the first Assist Trophy to come from an indie developer.
| | *Shovel Knight is the second non-playable character to originate from a non-Japanese developer, the first being [[List of minor universes#BIT.TRIP|Commander Video]]. |
| *Shovel Knight is the second character to appear in ''Smash'' that originates from an indie developer, the first being [[List of minor third-party universes#BIT.TRIP|CommanderVideo]]. | | *Shovel Knight is the second character from a 3rd-party series to be an Assist Trophy without a character from the same universe, the first being [[Bomberman]]. |
| **The two characters also appear alongside each other in ''{{s|wikipedia|Indie Pogo}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Runbow}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Mutant Mudds}}'' Super Challenge. | |
| *In the Nintendo Direct that revealed Shovel Knight, he digs up a [[food|chicken]]. This is a reference to his own game, in which he can dig up dirt piles to sometimes find gems and food, which restores Shovel Knight's health.
| |
| *''Ultimate'' is Shovel Knight's 5th appearance in 3D, after his cameo in fellow indie titles ''{{s|wikipedia|Road Redemption}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Yooka-Laylee}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Runner3}}'', and ''{{s|wikipedia|Blade Strangers}}''.
| |
| *In addition to his appearance in ''Smash'', Shovel Knight appears as a playable character in other platform fighting games: ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Brawlhalla}}'' as a guest character, and one of the many indie characters in ''{{s|wikipedia|Indie Pogo}}''.
| |
| **While not actually in the game, Shovel Knight is referenced in Yooka-Laylee's trailer in ''{{s|wikipedia|Brawlout}}'', another platform fighter.
| |
| **Though not a platform fighting game, Shovel Knight was a playable fighter in another crossover fighting game, ''{{s|wikipedia|Blade Strangers}}'', also released for the Nintendo Switch in the same year as ''Ultimate''.
| |
| *Shovel Knight's Shovel Drop attack was inspired by [[Link]]'s downward thrust from ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''; both characters use these attacks in ''Smash''.
