'''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==
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.

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]]}}

==Trivia==
*Shovel Knight is the first Assist Trophy to come from an independent developer.
**He is also the only third-party Assist Trophy whose company, [[Yacht Club Games]], is not represented with a playable character.
*Shovel Knight is the second character to appear in ''Smash'' that originates from an independent developer, the first being [[List of minor universes#BIT.TRIP|Commander Video]].
**The two characters also appear alongside each other in ''{{s|wikipedia|Indie Pogo}}''.
*In the Nintendo Direct that revealed Shovel Knight, he digs up a [[food|turkey]]. This is a reference to his own game, in which he can dig up dirt piles to sometimes find gems and food. Also, eating a turkey completely restores Shovel Knight's health.
*''Ultimate'' is Shovel Knight's third appearance in 3D, after his cameo in fellow indie titles ''{{s|wikipedia|Yooka-Laylee}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Runner3}}''.
*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 many indie characters in ''{{s|wikipedia|Indie Pogo}}''.
*[[Link]]'s down aerial attack, the downward thrust from ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', serves as one of the inspirations for Shovel Knight's Shovel Drop attack, which they both use in ''Smash''.
